- FirmwareBurner 3y agoWho said there are no immigrants? Every new year is a record immigration year. Also for housing prices. The whole "we need even more immigrants" is wage suppression propaganda. Many of the big German business crying wolf have had record sales, only beeing kneecapped by the disappearance of cheap Russian gas and are trying to compensate it with cheaper labor.

- nickpp 3y agoAnd also to keep the low prices of German products which keeps German businesses competitive and thus Germans employed, taxes paid, etc.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYou're making the race to the bottom manufacturing sound like an advantage Germany should aspire to. You have it backwards.
- nickpp 3y agoI think German themselves made that race to the bottom when they selected cheap Russian gas as their main competitive advantage - as you very well noticed. Do you think German manufacturing can compete with Chinese one once salaries grow?
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoNo, but is wage dumping the long term solution? Or is that bandaid on a arterial bleed?
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoYou're describing a Ponzi scheme. Maybe the Pension pot shouldn't be dependent on quantity of people and more on amount they put in.
