Perhaps Germany is seeking to match the USA in de-industrialization. Next will be the induction into the third world. Well, I guess not. With the USA and Germany going down the de-industrial tubes there won’t be any more First World.

Once we replace The Usurping Marxist Onada with a real conservative America will be in the cat bird seat again.

It is because environmentalism is the religion of the left. Germans abandoned Christianity, but everyone worships something (or someone). For the left, the new religion is the green movement.

Pebble-bed architecture was first developed in Germany — just in time for the “greens” to protest it out of existence. Thanks neverdem.

“That is done in a breeder reactor, which our glorious President Carter banned us from doing”

I think Carter was the worst Potus ever, but when it comes to nukes i’d belived anything he said. He graduated in nuclear physics, he was also part of the clean up crew at the chalk river nuclear labs. So i’d guess chances that he was right on THIS decision are good.

“Germans abandoned Christianity”
That already happened in 1517 when this moron Luther decided to abandon his membership in the only christian church that exists: the catholic one. All others are just members of strange cults that have only few connections to real catholic christianity.

Because the “experts” are always right and never have an agenda. Would you be interested in investment opportunities that can double your money in as little as 3 months? I graduated in bank management and have years of investment experience. Send me $100.00 and I’ll share the investment advice with you.
