Why is 'nicht mehr' used here?
"Wir haben gelernt, dass wir nicht so weitermachen können wie bisher, weil die Welt und Deutschland in Bewegung sind wie seit 1989 nicht mehr."
Does that roughly translate to the following?
"We learned that we cannot make as much progress as before, because the world and Germany are moving on since 1989 [any more?]."
I don't understand what the function of 'nicht mehr' is at the end.

I would venture something like: "...because Germany and the world are no longer in transition as they were in 1989" I may be totally off and would love to hear a better opinion
