Nah.
They can still borrow the money at negative interest rates from the German government, leaving the government to pay them for paying the fines. It's all good.

Germany and France



Are screwed and the only way out for them is to have the US buy into their climate change hysteria.

This whole deal is their attempt to raise US imput cost to their levels as they have no hydrocarbons to speak of now that the UK has left the building.

Simply put they are in for a "good sweating" as John D. Rockefeller would have put it.

Hmmm, they might have to cut some of the welfare that Bernie likes so much.

International banks moving from the UK to Germany and France will likely offset all that.


International banks are going to move from the hub of international banking to an area rife with stagnant and/or faltering economies?

When is France never in some National strike. Hell in my industry we have a “French strike clause” in every contract we negotiate because the idiots are always shutting the ports down due to their workers on strike. I have no idea how that country functions. It really doesn’t make sense.

Yeah, here in the US the average number of school days is 180 per year. In France it's 200. They assume about 20 will be cancelled due to teacher strikes.

It’s not just the teachers at times. The college students routinely go strike too. In Montpellier the students barricaded the entrances of the college up and prevented any students from entering. Then went on to go graffiti every square inch of the campus. You would think you were driving by some inner-city school in America. Could you imagine that happening on an American campus.
