Why Germany is fooked ...

[AtW]

Unlike you atW, I add value to my employer and the economy as a whole.

What exactly do you do? In those 10k posts you made you don't exactly comment on any technical issues or explain your responsibilities or that mythical added value that you give to your employer.

Ah that would be telling. Suffice to say that the current economic situation means that demand for people with my skills has increased drastically

You might as well keep posting. It's more productive than your other hobby. At least you get to perform the role of court jester on here.

Over reliance on motor manufacturing.
In spite of atWat's simplistic view of the world, German labour costs are too high for them to continue making cars.
And the high end luxury models on which they basically rely do not yet have mass markets in the emerging world. I read somewhere that Britain is the largest European importer of BMWs.
If we go down so do they.
And in a recession what will they do with all that plant and machinery?
The clever City bods who lose their jobs are much more adaptable than an auto worker in Germany - so Germany will have much more to do.

Oh dear. I used to think you knew what you were on about. Recent posts especially this one demonstrate not. My mistake.

If I was I'd still be more useful than atW.

I don't have a problem with being called court jester. If you studied history you'd find out that in countries like UK, France jesters were actually very clever and were allowed to speak their mind, they could do it because idiots would think it was crazy funny stuff. So, in a way I take this comparison as a compliment.

You certainly ain't jester, I think the closest comparison I can find with you are some of the bigger idiots back in Russia that I had to argue with, which is one of the main reasons why I don't want to live there regardless of money making opportunities because not having to deal with them for me is a major achievement.
