As crazy as it sounds, yes.

German car industry is bleeding hard. But it’s our own fault… If you want to hurt German economy, cut the car industry. We are banning petrol and diesel cars until 2035! And even now, if you sell anything that’s not EV, you get slapped with heavy CO₂ penalties per gram over the limit. That’s not small money either. Not to mention the Tarifs.

End result? Carmakers get squeezed, costs go up, and guess who pays for it… us.

There’s just so much here that’s wrong, currently planning on leaving the country.

Either Australia or EU will be the first to implement "own nothing and be miserable" agenda, this rentier economy and big tech disguised as government lording over the peasants and there is no resistance, perhaps AfD in Germany? Its the only none grifter political party I have seen, hence why the propaganda is hard against them!

If you make enough to survive from trading pick a sunny place with advantageous tax regime, depends on where you wanna settle, I can help you with structures and provide you guidense in terms where to look - I did all this shit 6 years ago, just packed my bag and left everything!
- best decision! starting fresh builds your character and removes all the bad habits

Yeah I guess, in the end we will own little as nothing and still be miserable.
Most people don't actually own anything, they only have access to it. Even if you manage to buy a house, they still have a death grip over you with the mortgage.
You don't keep up with that -> they'll take your house, you don't keep up with taxes -> they'll take your stuff.

You're right with that, they're pushing hard against the AFD. I´m surprised you know about this, with all the manipulated news. A direct friend of mine is member of the German Bundestag/Parliament for the AFD...The storys he tells me are unbelievable. To much to tell in a Story comment. But one thing for sure, it´s bad.

Yes sunny and tax advantages is the way to go. I want to take my old man with me, best to enjoy his pension.And thanks for the willingness to give me some tips, I highly appreciate it!!! One of the very few bona fide FF member.
