Germany megathread

[AustralianSwingVoter]

China wants to buy a 35% stake in the Port of Hamburg. Scholz apparently having learnt nothing from recent experiences of handing your critical infrastructure over to authoritarian regimes is apparently happy to wave this through.

I mean, how stupid can you be?

Well the Northern Territory sold the Port of Darwin to China, which literally fuels the US naval base. and they didn't give the Americans advanced notice. and scomo lied about not being able to veto the deal. and scomo actually secretly paid $20 million bucks as an incentive to the Chinese company to buy it.

"Less investment today means more opportunities tomorrow..." This doesn't make sense.

One of the most fantastically neoliberal statements I've ever heard.

"Less investment today means more opportunities tomorrow..." This doesn't make sense.

One of the most fantastically neoliberal statements I've ever heard.

I don't know whether you are aware, that I was editorializing. The original says "Lower debt today means more opportunities tomorrow. For me and my generation"

My phone’s buggy AI translator came up with something similar, but the sentiment is the same regardless lmao. I mean, it’s already been in place for 15 years, that’s basically a generation, and it hasn’t exactly improved things lmao.
