German economy needs a "cup of coffee" says Finance Minister Christian Lindner.
According to the minister, Germany is not "the sick man of Europe." And very soon, the reforms that have been introduced will show results.
Unfortunately, Christian did not specify which particular reforms he was referring to.
Germany is officially in recession, car manufacturers are fleeing to China, business go bankrupt. Not to mention the farmers striking 24/7.



Maybe it's already a-bottle-of-vodka time?

The Great Britain Sorrow
The number of British businesses in "critical financial condition" has sharply increased for the second consecutive quarter, as high inflation and interest rates raise costs and dampen consumer sentiment.
The Begbies Traynor's Red Flag Alert report, which measures the fundamental financial health of companies, showed a quarterly jump of 25.9%, "resulting in more than 47,000 businesses in the UK teetering on the brink of collapse in early 2024."
As indicated in the consulting company's report published on Monday, all sectors suffered, particularly construction, real estate, and support services. Out of 22 sectors, 18 experienced at least double-digit growth.

In Argentina, a nationwide strike is underway against President Javier Milei's strict austerity measures.
This strike has united major labor unions. The focus is a new decree that, among other things, limits strike rights, extends probation periods to 8 months, cuts benefits and social payments for the poor, restricts workers' rights, and aims to privatize state enterprises at low prices.

French farmers block roads around Paris to protest low food prices
https://archive.ph/wip/fUjn6
https://www.rfi.fr/en/france/20240126-french-farmers-block-roads-around-paris-to-protest-low-food-prices
French farmers in tractors on Friday moved to blockade major roads into Paris as they continued to vent their anger over low food prices and excessive red tape. They also shut down long stretches of some of France's major highways.

essentials:
►Conflicting Demands: French farmers are being tasked with meeting ecological standards while simultaneously being pressured to increase domestic food production
►Economic Strain: Government measures to fight inflation by cutting food prices have resulted in 10% lower earnings for farmers, particularly in meat and dairy
►Environmental Regulations: Strong opposition against EU environmental regulations, including pesticide bans, which are seen as harmful to farming livelihoods without providing viable alternatives
►Inadequate Support: There's a perceived lack of sufficient assistance for farmers to adapt to ecological transitions, contrasting with better support systems in other countries like Spain

Australian farmers are doing it tough too but at least we are competitive on the world market- European farmers have been on the EU protectionist teat for decades now,once that rug is pulled European agriculture will be in absolute chaos I sympathise with the above concerns however if you rely on goverment for your business it never ends well.

I hope that's exactly what happens, the sooner the better. Try all 4 of these war criminals for GENOCIDE.
Biden & Sunak also committed international aggression against Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq & Iran, which is an even worse war crime than genocide. https://t.co/vgcT1Vzkz1 https://t.co/GDKG2D6sTI

Estonians are sending drugs to Russia by drones and trying to recruit military veterans

►According to RIA Novosti, the police discovered a drug supply channel from Estonia to the Leningrad region. Estonians are transporting large quantities of cocaine and hashish using FPV drones across the Narva River. The police have not detained anyone yet, the investigation is ongoing.
► A source in the authorities told reporters that Estonian drug traffickers are trying to recruit military veterans who worked as drone operators for work. A former Wagner fighter, who was contacted with such a proposal, spoke about this.
