Everybody with a functioning brain understands that pipeline being blown up is a major reason for the economic woes Germany is having.

Because it fucking isn't. It wouldn't even breach the top 20 reasons, most of which are the result of being ruled by austerity obsessed neoliberal neocon ghouls for the last twenty years and by vintage conservative ghouls for the longest time before that.

Sure, the system itself is obviously the underlying problem here. However, within the scope of this fucked up system, the input costs for manufacturing going through the roof is a trigger to the current economic shock. Companies are using rising input costs as an excuse to move industry out of Germany.
