The ship of car manufacturers is sinking and taking almost everything with it.
It’s bad news for those employees and families in the first few months.
But actually, the employees are getting off a sinking ship (and not sinking with it). And most will end up being engineers and workers at other firms that are not sinking.
As long as being self-employment and enterupeneurship for normal people is so heavily taxed as it is now nothing will grow out of the ruins of the big companies
I think the biggest problem is investment funding. VCs and angel investors are much more common in US then here. There are many European startups that ended moving to US because it’s easier to raise capital there
piles pressure on Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s government
Fuck Merz. His “ideas” are absolute shit, and the opposite of what we need. Black Rock guy says big business things. What we need is not worse working conditions, deregulation [in the wrong ways], and lies/hatespeech. Do something for the people who need it and will spend money when they have it. Something that stabilizes society, not erode it.
And then the greens vote with the far right in the European Parliament, against mercosur. Our firms are fucked.
Same problem as any third world country: how do you create new jobs for the global economy?
Too bad we never pushed for a structure of the world that makes that easy while we were a leading export nation.
Many new firms have been mushrooming, creating some of those jobs.
The right thing to do would have been to help African, Asian and American countries to develop strong service economies and spread the wealth accross the globe.
Instead we limited them to exporting raw materials. Now we lose our influence and we don’t have resources to compete.
As being unemployed means being called a lazy POS in Germany, that’s another great news for a lot of people
Yes, the social stigma sucks. But I’m sure that former Bosch employees are very employable.
Yeah but who is still hiring? You can see the same shit happening in the US. Even people with heaps of years of experience can’t find anything.

Viele Betriebe stellen gar nicht ein oder nur sehr zögerlich und die einzigen, die noch einstellen, sind die Rüstungsbetriebe. (4:20)
“Many companies aren’t hiring at all or only very hesitantly, and the only ones still hiring are arms/defense companies.”
