The idiots will continue to vote corrupt morons into office who ride the economy into the ground to instead make their sponsors in obsolete and failing industries richer for a few additional years before everything hits a wall.
But lets not put all the blame on voters either. Industries in Germany are largely run by incompetent dinosaurs too. They believe in a free market so they should be able to at least make good decisions on their own. Instead they keep pumping money into China while essentially begging their own government for money. China made it crystal clear they‘re done importing German goods. Instead they flood our markets with largely cheap trash. Every Euro invested in China is wasted and any company still banking on Chinese consumers deserves to go bankrupt.

No, they don’t actually. Insane amounts of lobbyism (enabled by always the same corrupt types in government) is their idea of a free market. They pay huge amounts so that legislation supports their obsolete models and keep competitors away.
Which is exactly what fucks them now because their bought puppets cannot protect them from losing all their foreign market shares to innovative products.
That’s also the reason those conservative morons in government are still loudly talking about ‘highly efficient’ combustion engines, totally fictious eFuels and plans to scrap the transition to EVs. Because they only know how to parrot the narratives they are paid to repeat.

Then voters could have voted for different people, maybe using the brain instead oof voting for people asking to close the nuclear plants without a plan B if not some vague promises that renewable energy will replace them. (as an example).
In the end people get the government they elected and the consequences of their vote.
No recovery intended either…

Why not ? Governments are elected by voters.
