The worst part of all this is that becoming more export focused was pushed heavily by Germany during the euro crisis, and now its causing more problems.

Honestly, I'm coming round to the notion that Angela Merkel was literally wrong on everything she ever touched.

Mind you, German political culture consistently makes the wrong decisions (basically in hock to the ICE car industry, which has aged badly).
