It's surprising to me that Germany isn't at the forefront of incentivizing an agile startup economy in any way possible. Especially as they've always been the economic powerhouse of Europe, failure to get ahead of these global trends is surprising. And this is the first time I've ever heard anyone describe Germany's infrastructure as anything below world-class, although it's been ten years since I've been there now. The idea that the roads would be rougher than those in the Netherlands is fairly shocking. I do think it's a great teller, though. I live in Oregon where the roads immediately degrade when you cross the border from California; and I used to live in Argentina, where the roads degrade when you cross from Chile. The feeling you have crossing one of those borders says quite a bit about what's happening in the place. Thanks for your honest reply.
