      I'll stop mentioning it once it gets declassified as a US covert operation in a couple decades or if western media stops pretending it "just happened" to avoid discussing US culpability, whichever comes first

      What's the message here? Do you think this isn't relevant? Do you believe that people taking sick time is tanking the German economy?

        Nah I just think that twenty plus years of neoliberal austerity politics and a population of mostly retirees has done more harm to our economy than three years of inflated gas prices and that just chanting "nordström nordström" again is a stupid short-sighted and wrong way of looking at things

        our issues are the fault of decades of our own (our elected officials) false decision making and not the sole result of some covert US action
