The only ones who had sinking profits are the winegrowers.
Wheat producers increased 27%, cattle too, all the while help by the state fell by 10%.
So I’m pretty much over the poor farmers protesting in Germany -
of course the growing inequality __overall__ is a huge problem.
The problem is more corrupt politicians, a more and more unhinged “free market” and just the dystopian hellscape that capitalism is becoming.
Of course cutting social services and benefits for 30 years+ straight will have some effect on the general population.
Thank Schröder and the SPD for starting this and Merkel and the CDU for decades of inaction until it was too late and there was no more room for action.
Now we will have a far right government next election cycle and the best plan they can come up with is to peddle the same lies that the AFD is spouting: that immigration is to blame for growing problems - when in reality immigration is the one thing that props up this failing system.
There is some interesting data here - by the way data from 8025 yearly reports by farmers, so I think we can assume this is accurate: https://www.situationsbericht.de/5/52-buchfuehrungsergebniss...
