WIR SCHAFFEN DAS WAS?
WE SHOULD DO THIS TO OUR GOOD CITIZENRY?
Wir schaffen das!
In English, the words mean: We can do this! So said Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor from 2005 to 2021, as she hectored her citizens to accept 2 million refugees from Syria and other Muslim countries.
Observe, though: as calls to action go, Merkel’s was watery.
Not: “we must do this” — a categorical demand that might raise the question of why Germany, or any country, should have to house and feed another country’s citizens without limit. No: we “can” do this. That is: these people have come. Rather than looking hard at whether we should encourage them, or the costs of doing so, we’ll just deal with them. Mostly by throwing money at them.
Wir schaffen das was, ultimately, a call to bureaucracy. (In fact, the phrase can also be translated as “we can manage this.”)
Except Germany couldn’t, not really.
Merkel’s tenure as chancellor began with an explosion in German manufacturing. It ended with the country’s economy flatlining. The refugee crisis wasn’t the only reason, of course.
Another was Germany’s ruinous decision to embrace a policy of decarbonization while simultaneously closing its nuclear power plants, a key source of carbon-free electricity. Germany now has among the world’s highest power prices, a serious hurdle for a country that relies heavily on manufacturing. The crisis will only get worse as artificial intelligence datacenters become a bigger and bigger drain on the power grid.

She's pubescent, so that's fine.

*I've extended what was my Boi-Power Hour @ 5am to the entire day, I suppose. So why not just dedicate this Friday to the Bois. Roger's glad (and gay).
