Sacks Sacks support ×2 ▼ on 🌍 German economy is 2024's biggest business loser E160 · 2024-01-06 ▶ 33:39
My prediction for biggest business loser in 2024 is actually the German economy... the loss of cheap Russian gas has really cut the legs out from under the German industrial model... [and] a sudden glut of cheap cars coming from China... double whammy for Germany.

why Germany has such a difficult issue is because they turned off NatGas, they turned off the reactors, and there's just not enough solar installed right now. It's also a cloudy country.
Sacks Sacks support ×2 ▼ on 🌍 Germany slides into recession because it can no longer get cheap energy E144 · 2023-09-01 ▶ 31:03
Well, this isn't preventing Germany from sliding into a massive recession because they're not able to get cheap energy anymore.
