Unfortunately, the class of the socalled working poor is exploding in size in Germany as well. A signal that something is seriously going wrong. If you work 11 hours in a shop, then go to a second evening job, a call-center or a drive-in, and work another 5, then come home and have 4 hours left to sleep and then raise again and go to work again, and if this is so and at the end of the month you have not one euro left, then this is kind of betrayal, especially if the social security system is beeing reduced and people are told they should use free money from their income to lay it aside for the days when they are old. More and more poeple do not have any money left to invest into their future security anymore, and the number of jobs with social-insurance are beeing reduced, while the nuber of minor and "mini"jobs without such insurance are growing, and very drastically so. Six years ago we had less than 1.5 million of these. Today it is more than 7 million, tendency rising. this is a desastrous eroding of the fundament of both the economy and the social security system. Correcting it was needed, it was too exaggerated for sure. But what is done now is to crack it up completely. at the same time people are told, the money they do not have anymore they should invest in stocks of those economical megaplayers that are responsible for degrading the working contracts and that in Germany since years make record wins, year by year, and expand - and kill jobs by the hundreds of thousands nevertheless, all in the name of globalization. When today'S workers are grown old, they will be left with no social insurance, no private money - what should become of them...???
Stockholders are a pleague. The system should be forbidden. a company's primary duty is to do what it is payed for and to take care that those that are working for it get a fair return in form of fair payment, participation in profits, and future perspective. What have stockholders to do with it? They do not help, they do not work, they do not assist, the built nothing with their hands, they produce nothing - they only demand with open hands, and emitts poressue that helps to fire even more employees. Look at stockmarkets: the day one company announces that it is about to fire some hundre or thiusand people - the charts go up.
Make me the lord of the world and give me the unlimited power from above, I immediately would destroy:
1.) all holy sites of all religions
2.) all stockmarkets
3.) and hollywood, in exactly this order.
As for the topic, I think they will concentrate on traffic beeing able to flow without vehicles needing oil (as Ford originally had planned his cars anyway, btw.). If they could reach that, they are already no more vulnerable from oil from Muslim countries. that would be the biggest win for a western country since the defeat of the Nazis.
