Why Germany is fooked ...

[Mich the Tester]

They still make cars that are in demand and UK doesn't (meaning mass production). I am not sure UK would even have Bentley or Rolls Royce cars going without Germans, and Aston Martin's future is a tad suspect. Heck, Indians now own Land Rover and Jaguar and the other cars made in the UK are basically assembled from designes done elsewhere - France, Japan.

And now you claim German labour costs too high? Maybe so, but they kept their industry until now and I think they got a good chance to keep it further now that people are re-evaluating whether bulltulipers from the City who build bubbles on debt are actually worth having around at all.

Then Japanese labour costs are obviously too high too.

Oh I see, you're an expert in pharmaceuticals as well, are you?
Do tell us more....

How many times do I have to tell everyone, AtW's an expert in everything

For sasguru the only labour costs that are not too high are those that are expended on him personally. On the basis of the stuff he posts I'd say even if he is paid £1 per month then his labour costs to the business that employes him as a permie manager are way too high.

I was filling in VAT return and was a bit bored.

Unlike you atW, I add value to my employer and the economy as a whole.
Your only output, on the other hand, is hot air.

Ah I was wondering when the Tweedledee would appear ...
Isn't the village idiots club rather full?

He can't help it Milan, with his wealth of expertise in such a vast array of subjects he can't help but tell us mere mortals how wrong we are about everything and how the AtW way is the better way.

That must have taken all of a minute.

Rip up those economics books. Energy, not money, is wealth. Manufacturing or empire building are good sidelines once you've got your energy situation sorted.
