The actions of the political establishment are irresponsible … it is impossible to predict how many companies will go bankrupt before the cold starts,» the user complained. «Who could to think just a few months ago that it is possible to drive the country's economy into a corner at such a rapid pace?» — wrote the second. «Of course, we will survive the winter, but what are the consequences … Mr. Scholz decided not to mention this.
