Please be informed before commenting. Europe has undergone the hardest and most painful decoupling from Russian gas for quite a while. As of 2022 no gas in Europe is imported from Russia.
It's essentially killed the German economy. It's all by design. The Americans don't want Germany and Russia teaming up to be a Regional Hegemon of Eurasia.
It has not. Germany is in technical recession, but people are not dying in the streets, have jobs, and can take care of their families.
In the US the economy is stellar, yet homelessness is peaking, with people unable to afford housing even if they have a job.
Stop calling it “the economy” as if it was a direct translation of the reality of a society. It’s not.

But I think your analysis is poor. The homeless rate is higher in Germany than the US for example. Germany isn’t on fire, but I think it’s awkward to color it in a way that implies people are doing better there than the US. It will be a painful economic transition.
