Nothing about Trump's message is even remotely in sync with what Germany is doing in order to thrive [View all]
There's a narrative that really needs to be nipped in the bud.
Germany thrives on high tech jobs, limiting wage disparity, affordable college, affordable child care, apprenticeship programs, a more progressive income tax structure than the US has, more parental leave than the US has, etc. Germany doesn't thrive on bringing back or preventing the departure of low-skilled manufacturing jobs, or lowering the taxes of the wealthiest, or lowering wages of workers.
US manufacturing is at an all-time high, but automation means far fewer people are needed. And wages have been stagnant, while the wealthiest continue to make a killing. Low-skilled jobs have been outsourced just as Germany has done. And those jobs aren't coming back. Germans would tell you the same thing.
Nothing about Trump's message is even remotely in sync with what Germany is doing in order to thrive. Quite the opposite in fact. So, please stop speaking of that which you know nothing about. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.
