(This is my own personal list)
1. Even with a number of years of marginal growth (mixed stagnation)....Germany is still considered Europe's top performer. (It's amusing to remember this fact)
2. Even with all the negative 'chatter'.....Germany still runs one of the world’s largest current-account surpluses.
3. If a German company can't make what they consider a respectful profit....then they will disengage (quit making the product), or exit to a location where profit is possible. If you think you can control such a company (by gov't efforts)....you will end up with unemployed, and unhappy voters.
4. From a FORSA 2025 survey....roughly 55-percent of German society complains of work-place stress....preventing them from being happy. My German wife is among this group. Oddly, between comp-time built up and regular leave (she turns 60 this year)....she has close to 48 days of leave for 2026. As you might surmise....leave time doesn't lessen stress. The whole nation feels this odd problem.
5. The bulk of German society has a equity problem....where they can't really convince banks to loan money for housing....which the gov't says there simply aren't enough homes/apartments....anyway.
