Totally crazy that cutting jobs at the headquarters is the best thing for the company. Carl is spinning in his grave.

@fund_navigator_elshq Bismarck also rotates. You're absolutely right with your comment. In human terms, it is absolutely disastrous that the market is now rewarding companies for closing down in Germany. We were just talking on Friday about the fact that $BNTX is laying off almost 1/3 of its global workforce exclusively in Germany and that the share price has not dropped a bit as a result. And many other VW, Bosch, SAP, ZF Friedrichshafen, Continental and BASF are also cutting jobs. For a country where business and technology have always been at the top of the political agenda, this is a serious blow.

•@Soprano... An indictment of poverty.
I hope the voters will give us a lesson next year in the inevitable new election and we can get back to making policy for Germany and for Germans 👍

@Stilgar Completely unnecessary hate comments, what's the point?

•@fund_navigator_elshq The lesson will not fix it. Voters have been regularly giving them a lesson for 10 years and the result is only more arrogance and hubris in Berlin. Merkel already suffered a huge defeat in 2017 and has drawn personal but no political consequences from it. In 2002, the CDU/CSU and SPD together held 82% of the seats in parliament - if elections were held on Sunday, it would still be 40%.
The voters want a different policy, which allows only one logical conclusion: We need different voters.
Politics is not known to be wrong. There will be a black-red-green coalition and then Wüst or Spahn will become chancellor. Habeck will become Economics Minister again. That's what we've all been waiting for.

@Soprano well then I don't understand why the left are always moaning about why there were more and more re-elections in Weimar until the downfall. It's their own fault, they haven't learned anything, they're causing it themselves (on purpose?):
Reichstag election 1928
Reichstag election 1930
Reichstag election July 1932
Reichstag election November 1932
Reichstag election March 1933
Boom.

@fund_navigator_elshq Well, left-wingers are emotional by nature and not logical people. Even in Weimar there were left-wing majorities and the SPD, as the largest and most important party, managed to ignore (and in some cases simply deceive) its own voters until democracy was completely destabilized.
Social Democrats often talk about "learning from history" to prevent a new NSDAP. Learning from history means - I think - that you have to make policies for all voters and not just for your own friends if you want to prevent extremism. Something along the lines of reconciliation and shaking hands.
But what today's leftists think "learning from history" means is that you need an even bigger club to hit everything you don't want to see.
