Good thing tesla halted building an additional factory in germany for battery , after biden passed the Inflation Reduction Act, If i were to guess they’ll just expand capacity in their Chinese and American plants.

You gotta pay higher german taxes and then get arson attacks from hippies.

That combined with Germany not able to re-acquire a cheap energy supply after nordstream takedown and all of its major innovative companies like Kuka robotics slowly being bought out by Chinese and American firms.

The future looks bleak for germany honestly if they dont fix things soon.

Sidenote, but it is kinda amazing how many new factories are opening in usa left and right with bipartisan support for bringing back manufacturing jobs.

Not all hippies are left wing and not all left wingers are hippies.

Your ignorance of this simple dichotomy casts doubt over the rest of your comment.

Well the article says they are left-wing, and "activism arson" sounds a lot like something a hippy would do, so I think he's made a fair deduction in this case.

'Hippies' aren't really known for activism or violent crimes, in my opinion. The article states environmental activist groups protesting nearby distanced themselves from the arson attacks, which is more in line with what 'hippies' would do.

Unless you're being obstinately literal I don't see how this could possibly be true. Hippies are famously violent/antagonistic going back to things like kudzu eco terrorism.

Whew buddy that takes so hot I think you’ve singed yourself in your haste to rip your mask off.

You do not know what a hippie even is, man.

Read the Wikipedia page on them.

While you’re there check out the eco terrorism page. There’s overlap but it’s not equally bidirectional making this thread amusing but also misinformation that could have been easily debunked for you any time over the past five decades.

There’s a big difference between an eco terrorist and a hippie. Hippie is a lifestyle whereas eco terrorist isn’t unless you’re Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Shell, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Russia, BP, or the United States government and armed services.

Overly pedantic comment. Who cares what the definition of hippy is

I care.

Honestly that’s what doing business in the EU is like right now. Their entire bureaucracy seems to have become an operation for enacting laws that enable them to sue foreign businesses and line the pockets of their politicians.

Don’t worry, Germany will accept another 500k refugees to fix the problem.
