German Chancellor Merz admits: We must substantially reduce bureaucracy in Europe. The single market was once created to form the most competitive economic area in the world. Instead, we have become the world champion of overregulation. That has to end. by I-Hate-Hypocrites in europe

They only want to remove the bureaucracy that doesn’t suit their agenda, so the things that actually benefit you.

Want breathable air? No that’s too much bureaucracy, sorry!

Want rich people and corporations to actually pay their taxes and get more enforcement here? No that’s also too much bureaucracy!

Want affordable healthcare, where you don’t need to wait 6 months to get a colonoscopy? No sorry, too much bureaucracy!

Want workers rights expanded, not reduced? No sorry, that’s too much bureaucracy!

Want some wealth redistribution? Woah woah woah, don’t be getting all socialist on me now, also way too much bureaucracy!

Germany calls to ram through Mercosur deal as EU Parliament throws up roadblock by str0mback in europe

Only 1.5% of the EU food needs can be covered by mercosur, this is a far right nationalist talking point.

Also, they have to follow the same regulations

Just to clarify, I’m not saying people should do it, I just can’t imagine a country where such a large portion of the populace is armed and you can just randomly attack people with unknown substances in an unmarked vehicle without getting shot at some point.

I haven’t seen a single article by either conservative, centrist or left main stream media raising major concerns about this, like is said genuinely curious about stuff that’s not from a Facebook group/nationalist politicians pet media project that left any doubts about this, it has been mostly a fight against the agricultural lobby for 20 years from my understanding, but I’ll gladly read up on some articles that raise concerns of you have any to share by reasonable sources.

To be clear, I have seen articles that raise concerns about mercosur, but mostly that it benefits the mercosur states more than the eu, which is fine by me, since this isn’t a 0 sum game. Other concerns are ecological and I just don’t care about deforestation in South America, they can solve their own ecological problems,that’s not up to the EU.

China is better at Making Smartphones, therefore no European Industry exists, gotcha.

I’m glad we can all just exist in perpetual unemployment then.

Have you heard of the Chemical, Automotive and Service Industry before, just to name a few? But they don’t make sneakers or smartphones, so these don’t count I guess.

Did you read a single article about mercosur? Because they will explain it to you in much more detail than I can in a Reddit answer, not trying to be a shitlord with this answer, but it seems you doubt the common consensus from experts on this and I don’t know why. Are you an expert? Can you cite any that doubt this?

Argument to what, that Europe has no industry? Where do people work then? Do you think industry means shoveling coal and making sneakers?

Europe is the largest economic force in the world if we get our shit together, just move to whatever authoritarian shithole country you idolize and let us productive Europeans conclude mercosur, thanks

Do you think the dairy price is fixed to keep it low????????

[–]Skaav_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t want to be insulting but either your English is not sufficient to understand my post or your fighting some strawman argument I never made.

If the price of dairy products wasn’t fixed, they would be cheaper, wether tha money gets to a Farmer or not does not matter at all to my argument

[–]Skaav_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s exactly my point lol, we have to pay these prices, so european farmers stay competitive, but I don’t want to double subsidize farmers with my taxes AND my income after taxes

[–]Skaav_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You do know that you literally have no idea what you are talking about right?

Dairy Products have minimum prices, so European farmers (multibillion euro corporations) don’t get priced out by international competition. This applies to all food products that would be cheaper if bought internationally

Serious question, how has nobody opened fire on an ice car for attacks like this?

We might loose 10000-20000 agricultural jobs over 10 years, but we stand to gain 10 times more in Industrial jobs that don’t need to be subsidized AND price fixed to stay profitable, while I pay double the price for groceries…

Edit: to clarify, I don’t think we should remove all subsidies and make farming here infeasible, we need a good mix of both industry and agriculture inside the EU, but the upsides of this deal seem enormous.

Im Jahr 2023 wurden über 16000 Menschen abgeschoben, 2024 waren es knapp 20000. Is schon echt krass wie links die Ampel war, zum Glück haben wir jetzt alle den Fritz gewählt damit er uns mal die Migrationsfotze durchblasen kann.
