    In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government.

      The pathway to substantial returns doesn't solely rely on stocks with significant movements. Instead, it revolves around effectively managing risk relative to reward. By appropriately sizing your positions and capitalizing on your advantage repeatedly, you can progressively work towards achieving your financial goals. This principle applies across various investment approaches, whether it be long-term investing or day trading.

      It is not stupidity but a lack of adaptation to change. There are probably a lot of Germans thinking that people in the rest of the world are willing to pay extra $$$ for products that are "Made in Germany".
      The world order has dramatically changed in the last 25 years- China is not old China, the US is not the old the US, and Germany is not old Germany. So the latency between reality and people's perception is one of the reasons.
      The other reason is that Germany has almost nothing to attract entrepreneurs (for the sake of preserving their culture and people). If the climate is not good for entrepreneurs then there's no innovation. They didn't realize what was coming as the "made in Germany" brand lost its value.
      My perception is that if they're charging me five times then the competition, it is most likely because of the higher cost of manufacturing rather than innovation and real value.

      Furthermore, at the time, nuclear supplied some 15% of Germany's annual grid. This is not insignificant but not huge either. Renewables (wind, solar biomass and hydro) actually was very significant up to 50% of Germany's annual grid at the time.
      Germany's fleet of nuclear power reactors were mostly all old reaching end of life. Nuclear power is amongst the most expensive forms of energy around and aging nuclear power plants need a more maintenance. The other end of the problem is that new construction nuclear has extremely high capital costs, adding to an already expensive form of energy. On top of all that, it takes 10+ years (some much longer) from start to finish to bring online just one utility-scale nuclear power reactor. Investors hate long return times on such long construction projects with such high upfront capital requirements (high risk). The population that receives the benefit don't like waiting either.
      Spent nuclear fuel is a big problem too. Look at Germany's Asse-II mines for a horrendous decades long problem of radioactive contamination leaking into the surround soil. It will continue to be a problem for many decades more. Humans have a terrible track record of handling their waste effectively.

    Could this be the boost Germany needs? I am not an economist but an artist and an inventor. Germany has always been the best manufacturer of vehicles and consumer products in the world, but now the market place opening up could be to manufacture products on an individual order fashion. What do I mean by that? What I mean is to have all industries only producing products that have been ordered by consumers. What about the hundreds of thousands of workers who ususally worked assembly lines full-time? This is the conundrum, but work could be 'shared' until a new sort of direction could be taken to find out how to use the thousands of workers who would be made redundant with individual-order-product manufacturing. Everything must be tried; don't forget: trying new approaches opens up new avenues of innovation never thought of before.
