Yeah, I remember that I once had to give my “race” on a visa application. They had the term Caucasian (that was 2018 Singapore), which I found to mean anyone looking European/Mediterranean. So northern Africa also counted.

So you think that the biggest thread energy wise is the votality of lng? I believe that this is a problem, and if it’s true it may lead to another crisis in winter.

But right now the storage is nearly full, so if the winter is weak there will probably no shortage of gas and no problem in winter.

I thought that you had a different reason that will more likely (say >70%) cause more chaos in winter.

Sounds more like a religious nut than a nazi.

As for your video on “Germany’s worst fears are coming true: car brands moving production to China”. I think the car sector has it way worse. China is way better at building EV vehicles, which is pushing European companies out of China. German car sales will drop massively.

Energy was expensive, especially last winter, but it came back to “normal” levels.

Gas for example is at 10% of the high of last August and around the level of 2019.

Oil is more or less the same worldwide, so there is no disadvantage for Europe.

So which energy do you mean?

Yeah, many signs are pointing down and I won’t be surprised if we get a recession here. But until it’s definitely there I will wait.

As for this indicator. Never heard of it, but there seem so many of those that I wouldn’t trust them unconditionally. This one for example points up:

The EU economy prognosis for 2023 is still positive. As far as I am aware only some countries are in a recession, not the EU in total.

And that “industry is shutting down” is also exaggerated.
