That’s how it was everywhere but things changed. They remained the same in new Jersey though, reinforced by laws of course. The first self service gas station was in 1947. You saved money by pumping it yourself. A few states passed reactionary laws to prevent the change from happening in their states.

Lol I was just about to go to see this movie. Instead I’ll just watch in on the seas. Argh matey

I agree, my issue with these people is they usually vote against their self interest. Instead of uniting together they have this idea of joining the military to be better than others. They then play the game to get as many benefits from their service as possible while complaining about everyone else getting handouts. I’m surrounded by military vets and they are the most entitled people I’ve ever met. I’m forced to work with them so I have to vent here, you cannot question these people they are untouchables because of their “service”.

A horror? Hmm I’ll watch it and report back, maybe a few days though…

What’s the expectation? The money is still flowing into the USA. Like it or not, the rich all over the world invest their money here at least for now

Lmfao true

Literally a fraction of the gold was moved out. Sure it was a ton but they have a lot more here still! Right?

Not really a big deal. On a fraction of the holdings were moved. USA is still the safest and most profitable place to store money 🤑

LOL I’m not from Germany. I do read a lot about the denuclearization experiment Germany is doing so I’m aware of that. I also study macroeconomics, it’s a passion of mine. I only have a bachelor’s degree but never stopped studying. These are all my opinions not absolute facts of course.

Are you educated at all? I just need to know what your qualifications are because I don’t think you studied even basic economics. And if this is the quality of German education then oh boy, no wonder AfD is winning

Lol Germans going back in time real quick. Oh well the USA will support AFD until it’s time to destroy Europe all over again. Afterall, if it wasn’t for the USA then Nazis never would have been in power. Time is a flat circle 😂😂

Well labor cost can be cut. https://amp.dw.com/en/germany-car-industry-job-cuts-bmw-volkswagen-mercedes-audi-porsche-china-ev-graphics/a-78168695

All of Germans automotive companies trimmed hair count. They can’t cut electricity cost. These companies are on a downward spiral heading towards extinction and the German public is the cause of it. Instead of these companies focusing on competing with China, the insane electricity costs are forcing them to figure out how to even compete at all.

I love German cars and I would hate for them to disappear, but when the entire government and public is so idiotic what so we expect? It’s over for them. It’s over for German manufacturing. Hopefully you all blame yourselves this time instead of others!

Lol that affects THE WORLD. POLICE SAYING MEAN THINGS IN AUSTRALIA DOESN’T AFFECT THE WORLD. 🤣🤣

Why is this in world news, this is a domestic Australian issue… Downvote this crap

They fell for a trap that their tyrannical government created. They chose to kill brown people overseas vs organizing against their tyrannical government at home

Prices go up because companies get rich?? 😂😂

Do you understand economics at all? You know the invisible forces of the market. Those forces work even if you run a communist government. East Germans still had to deal with paying for items based on how much it cost to make those items.

Anyway Germany was not and still can’t afford a total green transition without nuclear energy in the mix.

Oh, and keep antagonizing your automotive industry. Those massive job creating and prestiges automakers will soon be bankrupt for how Germany has forced them to pay for the electricity cost. German auto makers cannot compete anymore because the cost of their cars need to be 10-30% higher than the competition because it costs that much more to make a car due the electricity costs! This is economics 101, so please understand that!

EDF posted 5.2 billion profit in 2025, record 11 billion profit in 2024. Where do you see them losing money? Imagine having lower prices and more profit while having clean energy? Nuclear is a part of that formula ESPECIALLY for an industrial country like Germany. Alas, Germany went the other way and it’s people will fail to realize the consequences of this until it is irreparable. Industry will die, people will be poorer and Germany will be worse of. We can see this in 10 years. German auto makers already can’t compete (literally can’t make cars cheaper due to electricity cost that need to be passed down to consumer) with Chinese automakers. This is simple economics no?
