White Shop: Adolf Hitler Painting: Courtyard in central Munich
The Fuhrer was a talented artist and this is one of his most famous watercolors. It is a picture of a Courtyard in central Munich just round the corner from the Hofbrau House.
[I saw that another news outlet mentioned that the business mood is worse than during the time of foreign sanctions on South Africa during Apartheid. I find the whole issue of "business" and "capitalism" is extremely fickle and problematic. It's very weak. I don't think this is good for a nation. Look at the chart below and you'll see that South Africa's business confidence has been on a steady downhill for 10+ years. I don't see any reason whatsoever to how this will change. I think South Africa is just heading straight towards a FAILED STATE status. I think it was one American outlet that recently predicted that SA would be a failed state by 2030. I think so too. And I don't see anything that will change it. In fact, I think internal tensions will increase and maybe South Africa will even begin to physically fall apart. Maybe civil war is coming. South Africa should collapse, by the latest in 2040, but I think 2030 is a good prediction. Maybe even sooner. Jan]
South Africa should speed up its coronavirus vaccination program and implement economic reforms to avoid further damage after virus restrictions pushed business confidence to a 35-year low in 2020, according to a local commerce group.
An index compiled by the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry showed average business confidence declined to 86.5 last year from 92.6 in 2019, according to an emailed statement Wednesday.
That’s the lowest annual number since 1985, when the United Nations Security Council called on members to introduce more far-reaching economic sanctions against South Africa over its apartheid policies.
Sentiment slumps
While the index ticked up to 94.5 in January from 94.3 a month earlier, “South Africa finds itself in a fiscal logjam” making it essential for the government to prioritize economic restoration while addressing the health hazard posed by the pandemic, Sacci said.
It released data for December and January on Wednesday.
Africa’s most-industrialized economy probably contracted the most in at least nine decades last year after lockdown measures shuttered some activity for months, leading to business closures and a surge in unemployment.
The country’s vaccination plans hit a snag this week after it temporarily halted the rollout of AstraZeneca Plc’s shots following a trial that showed it had limited efficacy against a new variant of the virus first identified in the country late last year. The government now plans to fast-track the use of Johnson & Johnson vaccines.
“The successful application of a viable vaccine appears to have become critical in addressing the Covid-19 risks and ensure the survival of the economy,” the business chamber said.
With almost 1.5 million confirmed cases and more than 46,000 deaths, South Africa is the hardest-hit country on the continent.
Finance minister Tito Mboweni’s Feb. 24 budget will be a watershed event and should pay urgent attention to implementing medium-term corrections, adjusting public-sector finances and putting the economy on a growth trajectory, Sacci said.
Capital markets are skeptical of the government’s plans to rein in expenditure and return public debt to sustainable levels.
That means “the only way out of this predicament is to enhance private-sector fixed investment, provide credible economic policy that improves confidence in economic growth prospects, and reduce the role of the state to lessen borrowing levels and public debt servicing costs,” the chamber said.

In this video I show examples of Blacks in South Africa in the last decade or even recently who openly spoke about killing ALL WHITES! They mention hideous things they would like to do to us.
