> Yeah it's only the third largest economy in the world You can both be the 3rd biggest economy in the world and still only be 1/10th of US+China GDPs combined. And only three companies in the Top 100 for Germany: https://companiesmarketcap.com/ Germany is the kingdom of the "mittelstand": many, many, many SMEs. Both GP and you are right: it's the 3rd largest economy in the world and yet it's simply not that big. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mittelstand In other words: I expect this German DNS SNAFU to have 0.000000001% impact on the world's GDP this year. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
