11 years ago was 2014 probably, which was hardly a horrible year for Germany.
It was 5 years after 2009 and now is 5 years after 2020. Its just the aftermath of Covid.
They‘re just begging for handouts again. Germany probably has the most businesses it ever had and therefore most closures (and probably new businesses too) as well.
It reminds me of that stupid rhetoric about the state spending the most money it ever had. Or how the state has the most tax income it ever had. Well yes, that‘s because businesses make the most money they ever have. It‘s what you get when you have small inflation and/or growth. This is by design.
Also, a high number of bankruptcies and none to specifically mention probably means small-medium businesses that rely on domestic demand. Pouring them handouts is pouring water into a well.
On the other hand loosening employments policies, like these entrepreneurs often demand, is drilling a well right beside. Domestic demand comes from a population that is doing well, if you demand to pay your employees 50€ less each that often ends up with most of your potential customers having that much less disposable income.
