But we supposedly need migrants for our economy to grow, as Lagarde said.

China and US are suffocating EU industry from outside and UvdL focuses on ETS2 that will choke industry from within. Death wish.

Decades of lobbying against much needed change and to protect their privileged position, as well as outright scandals (dieselgate) – and yet they are stil losers.
Someone explain to me why we call these industry moguls smart? And why we need to bend over backwards, sell out our planets health and suck up horrible trade deals to appease them?
The sad part about this is that the Germans in the industry did everything asked of them as well as they could. The engineers made world class designs, the plant workers became some of the world’s most skilled and worked diligently. It’s not any of their faults that their energy prices became noncompetitive from geopolitics and China started building instead of importing cars.

The British car industry was almost destroyed by the German and Japanese overtaking them whilst they stagnated, not realising the changes that were happening.
Now it’s not just the Chinese, Korea is up and coming too.

I know a solution to that, let’s further raise the co2 taxes on car production!
And as a bonus let’s raise co2 tax of car insurances!
