Germany isn't as big as you think.
- trollbridge 5mo agoYeah it's only the third largest economy in the world
- Muromec 5mo agoI just checked and the can of Paulaner in the fridge is not affected by the outage so far, thus my trust into German economy remains unshaken.
- TacticalCoder 5mo ago> Yeah it's only the third largest economy in the world You can both be the 3rd biggest economy in the world and still only be 1/10th of US+China GDPs combined. And only three companies in the Top 100 for Germany: https://companiesmarketcap.com/ https://companiesmarketcap.com/ Germany is the kingdom of the "mittelstand": many, many, many SMEs. Both GP and you are right: it's the 3rd largest economy in the world and yet it's simply not that big. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year.

- phillipseamore 5mo agoSmall/Medium enterprises
- ulfw 5mo agoHow is 1/10th the size of number 1 and 2 COMBINED small? In what world is that a small number? Especially as those two are 1.8 billion people vs 0.08 billion for Germany
- tommit 5mo agoThis comparison threw me for such a loop. What an odd way to present a point.
- itsyonas 5mo ago> In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year. 126 trillion USD * 0.00000000001 = 1260USD I'm pretty sure the impact was higher than that ;)
