> I'm seriously wondering if people are only pretending to be stupid when talking issues about issues akin to this one, where it's very easy to scream: "racism" instead of providing actual solutions, or even discussing the problem. Germany has a lot of problems, as do other countries that rely on the 'never-ending' supplying of foreign labor(which is unrealistic).When you cut the pipeline of cheap labor: To add to your point, the pipeline of cheap labor is also getting cut at the other end --- with quality of life increases, skill and education increase, manufacturing hubs like China are getting continuously more expensive to use vs already expensive local hands. With this diminishing cost differential, the only way out is for the countries that were depending on that differential to increase their value-add to the global economy in order to eke out a new differential by being able to demand a premium on local products (knowledge products and physical products) because of tech/quality advantages. Unfortunately, exactly in this regard Germany is also falling back in the world. After losing leading positions in consumer electronics (80s/90s), mobile communication technology (90s/00s) and so on, little is left except from big auto, and big auto is already generating most of their profits abroad rather than at home. Frankly, it's getting hard to see what the country is wanting to sell to the world. There might be some highly competitive businesses left (see BionTech by sheer luck, a so-called and often-praised hidden champion), but that's hardly entire sectors of the economy. Again, I'm not able to discern what the selling point of Germany is supposed to be. And no politician has made any honest attempt to tell and plan instead of running on hope alone. At the moment, Germany's migration-fueled economy parts are growing based on the most primitive producitivity factor in existence --- head count. And head count is not going to be enough for the future. You need factor productivity, and that's not coming.
