"The prosperity our country enjoys today cannot be maintained in the future with work-life balance and a four-day week".
-- Chancellor Merz, yesterday
The Chancellor gave what I'd call a pep-talk yesterday.....that the wild-crazy talk from the past 20 years....of lesser work hours and more vacation time....is probably ending.
The blunt truth? The competitive nature that Germans had from the late 1940s....probably ended a decade or so after unification, and the economy is marginally surviving at this point.
The question is....is the national leadership of Germany capable of getting things back on track?
Then you also have to wonder....do Germans want to work more and chill-out less?
