They send you to technical school, then you become an apprentice to some plumber, or work in auto plants, etc.
In this country, people are being Sold that every one who starts at minimum wage is a potential genius, and they should all move up the scale, and if they don't, they shouldn't talk about minimum wage hike.
That's plain bullshit. People working for minimum wage, to a large degree are made just for that. Does that mean they must not make enough to live on? More than 50% of minimum wage workers are OVER 25! Got that, wingers?
Finally, those who only make it to technical school in Germany, have a good middle income living, and Germany has a vibrant manufacturing economy, etc.
It also is the most socialist advanced economy/country in Europe.
How do they do it? They use their brains Instead of their assholes to make decisions as we have been doing here the last 15 years. And we don't have to do what they are doing wholesale, but we have to look at HOW they get things done, and we DON'T!
