Of course, we have an energy crisis and too much bureaucracy. Who in their right mind would want to run a company here?

Existing businesses could still exist, but Germans are often too risk-averse to adapt to new reality. I have read about a large bakery which closed because of relatively small increase in operational costs: it didn’t make sense to me as he did not try to change anything to save the business, but the owner was too pissed with good old times being gone forever. In countries like Russia he would be laughed at.

The good thing is that those leavers create opportunities for others, because Germany is still a rich country with a lot of consumer demand,

The classic outsider perspective: I can move in several dimensions, why cant they? Cause its diffcult, by law, by the supply and demand of various ressources.

As a German living in Berlin I’m not exactly an outsider, though I do have an outside perspective. In Germany business environment is not harsh compared to many other places. Based on my observations here people are part of the problem too.
