What the frack are you counting as tech industry that you managed to Russia have more than Germany?
- hassy 15y agoYandex and Mail.ru IPOs I would guess.
- ugh 15y agoSelling US products in Germany – which was basically colonized by the US after 1945 – is bound to be easier than selling those same products in Russia or China.
- chalst 15y agoThe US imports approaching twice as much from Germany as it exports. http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4280.html http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c4280.html
- mootothemax 15y agoWhat the frack are you counting as tech industry that you managed to Russia have more than Germany? I'm wondering this as well. Surely the computing power behind Frankfurt must be quite substantial...
- JanezStupar 15y agomail.ru?!?!? Frankfurt computing power!?!?!? Guys were talking tech in country that built stealth planes in 40's. And that boosted US and SSSR into space. Have you really not seen what krauts are up to for the last 50 years? Have you not seen those fine wagens they build. Or impressive industrial technology they poses and continue to evolve? Have you seen the tank they built? SAP, Siemens, BASF, BOSCH, etc... Theres hardly a piece of modern technology built that doesn't rely on German tech. The Germans may not be building the blingest widgets and the hipest social media experts. But in this gold rush they are selling a metric fuckton of shovels.
- scythe 15y agoI didn't say they didn't have any industry. Hell, I work for Siemens. So... yeah. Can't comment on anything substantial but suffice to say I stand by my words.
- scythe 15y agoI'm thinking of qip.ru, mail.ru and Yandex.
