> Switzerland and Luxemburg

Ok, now look back to the life of ordinary swiss when things around were not good (aka worldwar 2 rationing. do you really think germany, france and italy will not pull a ukraine/belarus on them if they need to?) ...

Can you tell me, how normal people will prosper in these countries if things go bad around? Spoiler: they won't.

> You keep trying to die on this whataboutism hill by brining in the US

For all matters, people in Germany are EU citizens. They go down and up with the EU. I don't think it is a relevant comparison what some EU-landlocked microstates/money-laundromats do now if you think about the future: There is the EU. There is the US. There is China. There is the 3rd World. Largely EU might not be the worst bet all things considered (incl. now)...

> Damn, I didn't know Austria and Poland are distopic nightmares.

And now tell me about the innovative industries there which germany doesn't have?




OK mate, you keep cherry-picking some random unrelated facts for some cheap whataboutism, thinking that makes an argument. I'll end my conversation here to save my sanity thank you. Good evening and enjoy your lignite.
