It's because of agriculture and us here in Europe losing our food-related resilience because of that. The tertiary sector won't save you in case of a continental blockade and the Argentinian/Brazilian grain suddenly becoming unavailable. "We'll go back to our farmers here in Europe!" Oops, you've just pushed them into bankruptcy a few years ago as a result of Mercosur, so good luck with that.
- direwolf20 9mo agoWhat happens to bankrupt farms? Are they converted into national forests?
- paganel 9mo agoProbably real estate. You also lose the tools, and the people, and the know-how.
- f1shy 9mo agoWell that doesn’t seem to matter in another areas of the economy… meanwhile in Germany we are experiencing an historical de-industrialization. I don’t see nearly as much fuss about that.
- machomaster 9mo agoSeverely downsizing or shutting down the military production, how has it been working to get it running again so far? And now imagine if Germany wouldn't have the luxury of hiding behind the Ukrainian/American/Polish/Finnish backs and would have to actually fight the war at the same time. Well, returning the food production while the population is starving would have been an even harder problem.
- f1shy 9mo agoThe amount of erosion and heavy use of fertilizer doesn’t seem so good in the long run.
