Feel better LOL?? Trump has done what??? When you want to engage about this let me know. Its not an emotional subject at all. Its just business. No one is stopping the US from doing anything at all. Check the sarcastic response you made to my input about Trump opening his mouth about foreign investment in the US specifically referencing the auto industry from Jalop.max225 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2017 2:51 amEasy to point fingers when your defense budget is a whopping 1.2% of the GDP. How about Germany triple that or make some payments to the country providing security to it and the rest of the eu neighbors?Davestr wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 7:12 am Something Trump and Bannon will never read LOL
Germany and Industry 4.0 - Chancellor Angela Merkel is urging Germany’s heavy industry to modernize -- a policy dubbed Industry 4.0 (for "the fourth industrial revolution") -- wherein the likes of BMW AG, Robert Bosch GmbH, Daimler AG, SAP SE and Siemens AG are investing billions of euros to defend the country’s world-leading automakers and machine builders from U.S. and Asian competition. That’s not even counting the thousands of midsized Mittelstand companies hoping to get on board and several hundred million euros invested by the government.
"Germany has focused on manufacturing first and completely transforming it," said Henning Kagermann, president of the National Academy of Science and Engineering (Acatech) and a former CEO of SAP. "This is the backbone of our success in Germany. How can we defend our businesses so if the top line drops by 30 percent they can still make money?"

Also Germany is increadibly protectionist when it comes to its own economy. While blasting the us for even suggesting what it's been doing for ages. Can we talk about how Germany treated the poles and Mexicans like 3rd rate citizens for years ? And didn't allow them the same workers rights etc.
Nah all sunshine and mosques over there
Should we just lay off everyone in Greenville South Carolina, at the BMW plant??? Or say encourage further investment from BMW there to hire US folks. I will go with the rational investment in the plant in BMW. Or would you rather pay the unemployment benefits for them after Trump runs BMW off. Think a little before you speak just like Trump should. Germany actually does provide payment for the US bases here. Should they pay more??
Sure as its negotiated by the DoD and the German MoD via State etc. You have alot to learn. Trump has not replaced so may critical functions in the US gov so far we use US Ambassadors to sit in trade negotiations that they know little about. I can link you something on that to chew on. Talk about a competitive dis-advantage LOL. Thats ok the current Supreme Leader is like smart LOL.
Do you really want to open up race relations Max?? In the US? Really. Have another drink.
The article linked above intrigued me. A cohesive industrial strategy. Wow what a thought. Not a bad idea.
Since you brought up protecting industry how much outsourcing by US industry has cost the middle class in the US?? Take a look at the job destruction done by choice in the US. Take a look at the fact that the EU has higher High School graduation rates that the US. Has a trade class of folks that has shrunk in the US as its so focused on services. The fault of who?? I think the US does shite job of protecting industry but the larger point is the fact that in the US so much of smaller mid size companies have disappeared in the age of Wal-Shite Mart and Amazon etc. Monopoly is the order of the day vs smaller, family run companies in the US. The goal of many start-ups? Achieve a market value to be bought up. Not flourish in the future? That breeds the cycle in my opinion.
Its a far more complicated thing than a defense budget % or Germany manipulating trade or protectionism. Trump has done WHAT? Tell me in detail his plan....lay it out for me please.
Trump talking points lack depth. Remember that when you quote them. Trump has no plan but he does have a great twitter account to call people out on to appease his average voter - A white, 55+ male with HS or less. Wow.
give me a fking break. I was an Auslander with my family for a solid 7 years and when I lived here. America is oceans ahead of the master race when it comes to this, even with all of our issues. Let also not forget that little war that was based on Race superiority not that long ago. Let's not go down that route. You have no leg to stand on in this race argument.
's is cheaper than with Aryan angels, hence the plant here. The point being made was that is very protectionist, not all that different from what trump was saying, how do you go about twisting that into lay offs ?
my Facebook thing where I put my 370z money... so now I "made" $9200 in 5 months ... 
. If I had some serious money, I'd never have to work again. Dem rich getting richer. It is way too fucking easy at this moment. And that's gotta end.
