Not constraint, yet Audi, a famous Germany automaker can’t build its own EV platform, can’t even use its parent’s platform (VW) and has to resort to buying it from China. That shows how slow and risk adverse the Germany’s car industry has become.

- rad_gruchalski 3y agoThe education system in Germany is totally broken. One selects a path at a very early stage in life. If that goes wrong, it is extremely difficult to switch to another job or education path. Almost every industry requires three to five year education. While in that education, one can work as an Azubi before Ausbildung. The pay as an Azubi is atrocious. Switching industries is really difficult. The country has chronic problems with Handwerker, bakers, doctors, teachers, skilled labor, and so on. This protective education system doesn’t make things easier. It’s almost impossible to earn your title through experience. All of that successfully prevents skilled workers moving between industries.
