Booed at a German Trade Union Confederation conference, in other words, it’s Tuesday.
Telling your citizens that they are lazy and that they should work more hours doesn’t make you popular? Shocking!
Problem is Merz ideas of reform can be summed up by: „work more for less“. He is also always punching down by bashing the immigrants and the poor. He is also betting on fossile fuels and market-based solutions. His minister for the department of economy and energy is a well known lobbyist for coal and gas.
His reforms are actually a regression.
NGL, love to see it.
Who could’ve thought that investing more into fossil fuels, while also telling people to work more for less makes you look like a joke.
Merz makes crime look more and more appealing.
At a union conference no less. So far, he has not brought any reform plan but just basic talking points, but really what did he expect here?
If we are very honest with ourselves an economic reform WILL be necessary.
The demographic problem is killing us and is eating away more and more of our wealth by trying to keeping retirement pensions stable.
A true economic reform will cause immense hardships on all of us, the retirements will have to be cut which will hurt the baby boomer generation and our generation will have to work more hours as well to soften the blow to some extent. That is the reality no politician likes to talk about.
My issue with Merz is that he always only says that second part because he knows it will get him reelected as the older generation has the most voters.
I want one politician for once to be honest and just straight up say: Guys listen up the pension welfare system in our country (as well as most countries btw) hasn’t been working with our demographics since the 1980s.
We will need everybody to sacrifice in order to turn this around, you‘ll be eating shit for 20 years but then we will have taken care of the issue and can allocate some of the funds stuck in pensions into tax breaks, credit incentives for young families to counteract demographic change as well as education.
THEN I would be willing to work and sacrifice for but not just to simply keep up the status quo and kick the issue down the road for the next generation.
I am almost thirty I am in a very fortunate position and I have no issue if the country that has given me very much demands me to work 40 maybe even up to 45 hours a week but I want real change as payment then! Give me a real plan on how the lives of my fellow countrymen and our next generation will be better and I‘ll do my bidding.
We don’t need a USA sponsored BlackRock agenda.
Looking at him ruins my mood. Probably one of the least current politicians I like and my country is full of shit.
This guy doesnt know he unknowingly helps Putin installing AfD in the government with his really really stupid way of handling domestic politics
Yeah sure. Instead of addressing the wealth inequality, we squeeze the middle class and blame the poor people. This guy is pretty tone deaf.
This fucker deserves it
That boomer has no clue what he is doing. Germany is one of the worst countries to create your own business, rising cost of living, insane cost of insurance to feed his main voters (pensioneers), the stupidity to hang on to combustion engines and fossil fuels when the rest of the world has decided to go electric and renewable for the future. His only answers: work more and save money on families and young people. What a donkey.
merz lick eggs
It’s because he refuses to lick eggs.
Lemme guess, more neoliberal bullshit.
> Merz promised an “autumn of reforms” following the footsteps of Schröder’s “Agenda 2010.”
Yep more neoliberal bullshit.
Haven’t yet heard a single good thing about this guy
When you are so brain-broken by conservative austerity that your response to bad energy policy and geopolitical turmoil is ‚just work more bro‘, instead of better energy policy and punishing the authors of the turmoil.
Funny though. It doesn’t matter the cause, the answer always resets to more economic hardship.
73 hour work week is essentially Roman Empire slavery, without the benefit of the slave owner paying for slave’s food and housing.
Why stop at 73 Merz? Put it on 168hours and mandatory housing and 3x meals a day with health program.
He’s gonna keep doing more and more outrageous shit until people riiot, but I don’t see Germany ever getting enough guts to do that
Even Mayday was a washout for protest. Missed opportunity. People are happy in the dumbphone comas.
Before he got voted as chancelor I seriously didnt mind, sure I would have rather had Habeck or Scholz but I was glad it wasnt Heidel.
Have to say Im very impressed with how much he fucked up and sliced the CDU votes which are guaranteed basiclly from old people who vote the same Shit every year and mamaged to get the AFD infront of them in almost no time.
Seriously he has to be doing this on purpose, surely he got paid to sabotage the CDU and push the AFD by idk Russia, America or whoever
His „economic reforms“ are nothing but empty talking points.
Germans WANT them to fundamentally reform things, from taxes to the pension system. It is long overdue.
But Merz & his Govt. are offering nothing but constantly punching down, insulting the working class, insulting the unemployed even more, while funnelling more money to the rich.
And this narcissistic pos is seriously clueless why everybody hates him. Can’t make this sh%t up..
Proving again, reforms will only be accepted when the whole house has collapsed and people have to eat shit from the ground.
>“**Everyone will have to give something**, and in return, we will gain a great deal“—this was a message no one here wanted to hear, let alone „share the burden“ as the Chancellor had urged.
Except corporations and the wealthy, He didn’t even want the EU to implement the 15% tax rate on corporations. He’s also an „ex-banker“ of BlackRock so when he and people like him say „everyone“ they mean you and the rest at the bottom.
Merz is a godsend compared to what comes after!
I mean yeah I would boo too, if my country leader came up to me and said „You should work HARDER, you should work LONGER, and you should work for LESS pay“.
It’s insane how the richest country in the European Union can genuinely look at 35% of national wealth held by the top 1% and go „yes, the solution to our economic woes is to further overwork the masses!“ lol.
