clo, that is surprising.
Knowing that Germans assert themselves to maintain competitive superiority one might assume this 'bribing' explains the privileged position within Europe's industrial community....
Or, they are pale by comparison to neighboring sovereigns, and what appears to be German generosity is in fact slave labor.
Wherever truth rests prepare for a new reality. Europe is in serious trouble. Fair compensation will likely be downgraded from todays 'wine and cheese' agreement.
