    There won't be none. What can anybody say? The media here has convinced people that Europe is back to the middle ages with sewage flowing down the streets and little dirty children out in the streets looking for coals that fell off the wagon.

    I didn't read anything about how they're more profitable and sell more cars. It didn't explain the labor and profitability relationship.



    I almost forgot...

    profits aren't everything as they only matter to stockholders and company owners. when's the last time you heard of a recession in Germany? their poverty rate is half that of the US. according to the latest social justice report the US ranks #27 out of #31 countries in the OECD, for a market economy that's just pathetic. that surely couldn't have anything to do with the ability for the US to recover from it's frequent bubble/burst cycles and recessions.

    Germans are phenomenal at mechanical engineering, and they're obsessed with quality. I can see how this leads to more skilled labor and a higher price to the end consumer, and that being able to support high labor costs. It's a positive feedback loop.

    I guess I was a little surprised that they manufacture more units than the profit driven US business models. But it's undeniable their quality is superior to the US made autos, and kind of humorous how the US executives in a quest for profits, ended up destroying their business. A prime example of a negative feedback loop. Its really sad the US tax payer had to pay for decades of mismanagement, and now the golden days of the US autoworker are gone. Well, as they say... what are you gonna do.
