How prepared is Lithuania, thanks to the wisdom of our voters and their elected elite, for the new era of high tariffs that began yesterday in the global economy?

 

“Končitas

 

In Lithuania, we demolished all the factories and introduced cardboard boxes. We demolished the nuclear power plant, we have no fossil fuels, no energy. We destroyed the scientific base and replaced it with female managers. What will we produce ourselves?

 

In Germany, before the sanctions, it was not too expensive to produce, in Norway, Sweden, and here in Lithuania it suddenly became too expensive. Well, now. The point is that any area where real production is produced must be built from scratch, and raw materials must be imported under the worst conditions in the world. Even the same wood must be transported from Belarus and Finland if you want to produce something from it. Even biofuel has always been transported from Belarus. Not only that, the entire potential for training specialists has also been washed away. But in return, cardboard boxes have been introduced at the Vilnius Drill Factory and the Grinding Machine Factory. An apartment of even 50m2 costs only €2,500-3,000 per m2. You can set up "a new technology fintex startup" and launder money or push shitcoins...

 

The problem is finding qualified workers who could set up those factories from scratch. In countries like Germany or Sweden, since the beginning of the industrial revolution, there has been a natural transfer of knowledge - older workers trained new ones. However, if factories are closed and experienced workers retire or move to other areas without transferring their knowledge, a huge amount of accumulated experience is lost. We will not restore production capacity through investments alone, it would require large subsidies and time.”

 

Thank you, Landsbergis, for driving us into this quagmire.
