Well your not welcome (google in this case) but that doesn't give you the right to deny others who might want to move to berlin and work for google - that sound s like UKip policy in the uk.
And what does having a stock ticker matter presumably you took advantage of the German miracle and the rise of VW and others.
- chobeat 8y agoThis would go against the interests of the locals, that, frankly, in a community should come before the interests of some programmer that would find a job somewhere else.
- C1sc0cat 8y agoEr freedom of movement of labour is one of the core principles of the EU. So its all right for Germany to benefit from freetrade but not allow freedom of movement - that is what the Brexit and UKip want. So comrade when did you start colluding with the boss class
- chobeat 8y agoIt's complicated: if your freedom of movement harms somebody else, is it ethical? As an emigrant I can value the freedom of labour and movement but I can also see that this harms people if it becomes too extreme like in Berlin. That's why here lot of leftists are criticizing open borders and free immigration: mass migrations are a product of capitalism and we should solve the problem at the root, not just cope with the symptom.
- detaro 8y agoThey aren't denying Google and it's employees the right to move to Berlin, there's tons of areas in Berlin for tech companies to be, some tolerant of them, some actively trying to get more companies to move in. (and of course Google legally would have been free to move in despite the protests, but choose not to). That's needlessly over-the-top rhetoric for a localized protest.
