Their emissions "scam" didn't affect the end users. In fact the buyers of these TDI Jettas were more happy with the power and fuel economy before the fix than after. Some even held out as long as possible to keep their cars in "pre-fix" condition.

That's fine and dandy, but it was negative press. People lost faith in the brand and new potential buyers stopped looking.

The lie didn't move me at all, as I was never in the market for a VW. But if it moves 5-10% of your sales, you're fucked. You can't blatantly lie in business. Some get away with it, most don't. The performance is a moot point. With greenies everywhere, lying about emissions likely lost you a good chunk of business. Again I don't care as someone that drives a V8 full sized SUV. A lot of people do care.

How much of that is just inflation?

Inflation has been just as bad or even worse in other counties, btw.

Why is Germany so low?
Answer: Because Biden and Nuland blew up Nord Stream 2 that supplied
Germany with cheap gas.

Nope. Pukin stopped gas exports and that pipeline was sitting empty. And then, to avoid steep fines for breach of contract, the KGB fuckers blew the pipes themselves.

BTW, gas in Europe is no more expensive now, than it was prior to that attempt to "freeze Europe", so blaming Germany lack of economic growth on gas prices is wrong (and dumb).

No. The US is preventing Germany from using cheap Russian gas. Hopefully this will
change under Trump.

Fuck no. Buy American gas, you fucking freeloading fucks. And get ready to pony up 5% in defense spending.

You laughed at Trump then, it's his turn to laugh at you clowns.

Nonsense.

Germany like the United States is under occupation and the Globalist Nazis are
running both countries.

But...Germany is saving the world from CO2!

Women can't lead. Men don't/won't listen. At least 98% of them that aren't gay. Even if attractive I don't want a woman leading my country.

Culturally, most nations do not respect women at all. There's a reason. What are they gonna do when the waters get rough? Most don't even know how to operate a gun. A plane. A ship. A business. Hell a car. (commas would have been better, pulling an Ohomen grammar fucker).

Newly banned word in Germany, "Bio-German", distinguishes real Germans from the hordes imported by Merkel

https://www.eugyppius.com/p/in-latest-effort-to-deny-reality

In latest effort to deny reality, leftist German word police announce that a standard colloquialism for ethnic German is racist, exclusionary and antidemocratic

... This brings us to the Unword of 2024, a particularly infuriating choice announced today by our unbiased and unpartisan Unwordian jury. It is biodeutsch, or “bio-German,” an adjective used to distinguish ethnic Germans from more recent arrivals. ...

Later, it came to be used more seriously by those who asked why migrants require special designations (like “people of migrant background”) and why ethnic Germans should not be the ones singled out by marked and specific terminology.1 Over a decade ago the Green politician Cem Özdemir – the son of Turkish immigrants – used the term repeatedly, and generally in a negative sense...

Lol, I love it when a propaganda word or phrase gets turned around and used against the blue-haired leftist harridans. Trump did it masterfully with "fake news".
