They're ok tier quality compared to siestanigger or asian etc. products
Oliver Diaz
They don't. What has happened is German policy has been to push down wages while extracting the productivity delepod during high wage times.
Since the eurozone functions like a gold standard, this has the effect of importing lower wages from the periphary and exporting unemployment.
Of course, debts that cannot be paid, won't, so the whole system is breaking down.

Michael Hudson argues that modern finance is a weapon of war, and that this is just an imperial move to take over Europe.

How can a government push down wages? We are not living in a plan economy.

This is a beggar thy neinghbour policy, which only works if one party plays and the other takes it.
If everyone plays, you get a debt crisis and no growth. It can continue if Germany finances the buyers of the good.

We have here an example of the finnish right. Even FT, or any data or ability to understand the economy is 'communism', because these people are completely detached from reality.
Jaxson Myers
Because of our loan dumping.
Landon Miller
It is right that our union coverage declined between 1990 and 2016. But that happened in every country, due to the fragmentation of the former working class.
We still have some of the highest real wages in Europe. Our minimum wage is above the average wage in all of East Europe.
Hunter Young
The minimum wage is riddled with loopholes and basically just a ruse to distract from the fact that half of all new work contracts are time limited and more and more people work part time, temp work and horseshit 400€ jobs with additional government support. The situation is so far down the crapper that you can consider it flushed.

Yeah, I have seen the statistics. The amount of pointless temporary contracts, even for young graduates, is brutal. Makes one wonder why there is no Sanders movement in Germany yet.

>We still have some of the highest real wages in Europe
Legacy. The policy is to make Germany a low wage country. That is probably behind Merkel's desire for refugees, if even a tenth get a job, that is a 100k workers. It also jusitifies using state subsidies to push down wages. After all, you need the reserve army of the unemployed.

Let us say average wage country. If you see things at global scope, our wages, even if stagnating since 1990, are still far from low.
>That is probably behind Merkel's desire for refugees
I do not think so. That would be a nice way of rounding the neoliberal horror story picture up. But you have to consider that the refugees add massive household costs, even when employed for a low wage.
Mason Smith
i also do. nothing of value lost.

Henry Hill
>t the refugees add massive household costs
They do, but they are paid by the state meaning the middle class tax-payers, while the profits go to the real-estate interests and the consultants working with the refugees. That is focused power, which defeats diffuse power of the taxpayer.
I think you are assuming patriotism from the german elites.
Thomas Peterson
>commies ACTUALLY believe this conspiratard bullshit
Grayson Ross
Watch from ~7.40 onwards. Thanks to the Euro and the introduction of more member states, Eastern Europe (just like the Pole above) has essentially become part of the German supply chain, which has the effect of Eurozone-wide wage convergence in the long run. Good for German exporters (cheaper products) and poor Czechs and Poles (higher wages in real terms) , bad for the South because of wage depression and perpetual debt
Wyatt Powell
As I told you, the fiscal costs are more than noticeable, they are massive. 100 billion over 4 years. That is almost a third of the German household for 2013-2017. It surpasses the benefit of having some untrained labour force by far.

Analysis of power in a society and how different interest groups lobby for their own benefits is not actually a conspiracy theory.

And if they don't you loan it to them and then enforce unnecessary austerity measures to ensure debt slavery and humiliation for years to come.

To whom? Is this a difficult question?
To Germany? To the German people? Hardly, German policies have been harmful to both for a long time.
To the transnational corporations, the owners of refugee shelter? Oh, yes.
MIlton Friedman is often quoted as saying that you can't have open immigration and a welfare state. He was of course unequivocally supportive of open borders.

The Greek government chose to fake its fiscal reports and was re-elected again and again through promises financed by cheap loans.
We never forced the Greeks into that.
Levi Diaz
Are you actually retarted?
Ryan Hall
>To whom? Is this a difficult question?
It is. Since "the owners of refugee shelters" are, in most cases, municipalities that are in debt anyway and have to be re-elected. You know some stuff about economy, but the narrative that refugees are of great benefit to the elites is ridiculous.

Yeah those evil corporations like the Red Cross, Caritas (catholic aid service), Diakonie (lutheran aid service) and Maltesian Knight's
Seriously, there is no such thing as rufugee economy. That's an extremist conspiracy theory.
Jeremiah Hall
The wage depression is equally spread out vor everybody. Since South and Eastern urope are now equal, and Romania and Bulgaria have too little potential, wage depression can't be a serious argument anymore.

Bloodsuckers.
Right-wingers.
Lot of people from a lot of viewpoints, including the Wall Street types have talked about the profits made from refugees.
There is no conspiracy, this is all in the open, you are just making sure your mind is hermetically sealed to facts.
>Summary: The West is a small world, as we see our elites simultaneously decide that more immigration will re-shape our societies into forms more pleasing to their needs. Their bold actions risk releasing the dormant forces of populism, with unknown effects. This post provides a playbill to the conflicts, a racing form to help you bet on the winner.
I beg to disagree.

deflation, for example.
William Bell
Nothing. Will she even lose her job?
There is such a thing as 'cognitive capture'. In the Us they had a saying,"What is good for the GM is good for America."
Institutions that are captured serve their captors, and the tools are financial, political and ideological. Merkel, like most European politicians have been selected so that they support the big business.
If you have the time, here is an object lesson of the capture of one powerful public institution.
