Özdemir sent a framework paper to the coalition government where he recommends a consumer tax on meat.
"The main aim is to generate tax revenue for agricultural and food policy projects. Özdemir sees this step as an opportunity to financially support important projects in the field of sustainable agriculture," reports Blackout News here. "In particular, meat, meat products, edible offal and processed products containing a certain proportion of these products are to be taxed."
Food inflation was at double digit rates over much of the past 2 years, and a meat tax will only further exacerbate the inflationary spiral. Germany's policy on energy has made energy there among the most expensive in the world, and has led to a series of price increases through the entire supply chain.
Comment: Accidents and tragedies do indeed happen, however, is it coincidence that a similar crash occurred in another country, also known for its deployment of experimental mRNA jabs, that are known to cause heart attacks, a day or so earlier?
If a football player can collapse on a pitch, and many people have since 'died suddenly', surely some will suffer these devastating side effects whilst driving?
That said, it's also possible that some of these are akin to the car ramming attacks that have been on the rise in recent years.
