They use fax machines in an attempt to prevent the CIA from spying on them.

😂😂😂😂😂

And they'll Still charge us 1.50 euro per email!

I can confirm this. Last time I wanted to contact a German lawyer, as I searched on their website, only Fax and Telephone numbers were provided. So I switched to another.

I agree about increasing the acceptance of English speakers. Obviously, as someone who lives in Germany without speaking German, I'm subjectively predisposed to support this, but even objectively speaking, it's hard to dispute that English is the international language that most engineers and IT professionals use, so if a country is not sufficiently open towards it, it cannot attract enough skilled workers in these professions. As a software engineer I'm lucky enough that my current team is English-based, but once this project ends I might end up leaving Germany. Also, despite its reputation, even in Berlin I find it rather difficult to rely on English; in fact I don't think it's easier than in Poland (I lived there too for a few years). In Poland most people at least have a positive attitude towards English even if they don't speak it well, but here in Germany I often feel that I'm not seen/treated well as an English speaker. Sure, I might/should learn German eventually, but to be honest if the culture is not welcoming, there is a high chance that I'll just move to somewhere else instead, especially since you can earn a much better salary in some neighboring countries. Also, the housing situation is horrible, at least here in Berlin. It's extremely difficult to find the first apartment as a newcomer - a lot of people say that you're lucky if you're able to rent ANY apartment with a few months search (since many landlords don't even talk to you unless you have years of renting records in some weird German system), and if you really want a nice apartment, be prepared to be searching for 6-8 months. I'm lucky that my company is renting my place for me. If they didn't I simply wouldn't have come to Germany. This housing situation also gives me the feeling that I'm not welcomed here, and I personally don't feel safe.

@martin , Sorry, I believe that the Polish Catholics, with their track record towards everything that is not Polish Catholic in Poland since 1860, would do better to be discreet before boasting on social networks.

B2 german level, still not good enough? Or is it B2 level only for your english proficiency?

Dont come to Germany. There are much better places. Look Switzerland, Netherlands, Denmark. You can focus on your career instead of learning German and losing time. And better paid with less taxes

Mate do you speak English? I mean Poland is close enough and EU.... M

Mate.... I studied here.... Non EU.... German B 2-C1...even went onsite..... Got rejected n keep getting rejections.... UK is the way mate.....

If you speak German, you can work in Switzerland.

How did you come about making so much ? Pls reply thanks

They did and traded with Russia and China. and now they are decoupling from Russia after the special military operation and looking to marry China.

​@@iplayfoofee3547What's your point?You mean Germany ought to do the exactly things being told by America?What does the conflict between China and the United States have to do with Germany? China is Germany's largest market, why would Germany want to give it up?

@@iplayfoofee3547 If you look at the headlines, I think they're trying to move away from China also. The BBC interview with Blinken recently said that they are ramping up sanctions against China now as well (and Germany has to do with the US says). So no, not marry China. I guess it also doesn't help that people like me sold their German car and went out of their way to not a buy a single European product anymore, because of what they are doing diplomatically.

You expect LOGIC from German politicians???????

@@Scar626 US and Germany are allies. Why would Germany decide to ally with a communist country vs a country where many of the people are of German descent and share many similar values?

Like the ones in the Swiss Alps.

😂😂😂

🤣💀

Ironically, the less you know about it, the simpler you think it is.

Really do the maths

@@Slavic_Goblin It's actually super simple. Get off your high horse.

Wrong.

Everyone in the world knows except German. You can't wake someone who protent to sleep.

Lol!

Germans don't understand sarcasm... You need to spell it out for them!

@@l.t.3587 Germans don`t understand sarcasm, they don`t understand a joke.What do they understand at all ? Nothing i guess.

That's ridiculous. English shouldn't just take over the world.

@@Anthony-db7cs German is too hard to learn and Germans are terrible language teachers.

@@JosephSolisAlcaydeAlberici German is slightly more difficult than languages like Danish and French for English speakers. People shouldn't have their language and culture washed away to cater to small minded people that want society to cater to them.

Because faxes can't be hacked

Man have the Germans fallen😂😂 They take orders from Washington and destroyed their own economy. Downside of being in an alliance

Says the Russian bot....if not for the USA Germany would be Russian Land.. matter of fact without the USA you could kiss Europe goodbye.

Germany needs to grow a "spine" to kickstart its economy. 00000ccupied since WW2

Only question what has gone up so far that it comes down ? Currently the economy is quite stable - compared to the crisis year 2008 and covide where germany went through quite well compared to so many others cause discipline was quite high and people that ignored the laws were caught by police and got fines cause fines hurt more and more and more so people will adjust. Not much to worry, exports are strong, made in germany makes a difference like delivering in time and to deliver what has been promised. Come to an appoitment here (private or business) just 6 minutes too late people will ask you or your boss will start a serious talk that you have stopped group of 10 to start the meeting in time which means the company had lost 1 hour of working time.

That, my friend, applies to everything and might hit closer to home than you think, one day.

What are YOU thinking? Why are you spreading such obvious lies? Germany has almost halved its power production from lignite in the last 10 years.

@@trnogger I'm talking about the last year!

@@jptrainor Last year power generated from lignite dropped from 116 to 87.5 TWh, the lowest since 1990.

​@@trnoggerFrance's carbon intensity last year was 44 grams of c02 per kwh on average. Germany was 419 grams. Germany is 9.5 times more carbon intensive than France.

@@seanmurphy2365 First, France's numbers are almost double what you are claiming, while Germany's are lower than what you are claiming. Secondly, Germany had significantly higher co2 intensity when we still had nuclear plants. Because what you nuclear shills always forget to mention is that Germany has fully replaced its nuclear power production with renewables, has covered all the growth in energy demand with renewables AND has reduced the consumption of fossil fuels with renewables all at the same time.

I know Intel is having a hard time hiring in Germany...you may have to change cities

look around the Erlangen area were Siemens is, Berlin where startups are and Baden-Württemberg for SAP, Bosch. I would probably aim for Berlin more since you have no experience at the moment

@@assavp thanks for Ur recommendation. I applied for a job every where. Let tell you very openly, is to get a job you need to have some how contact otherwise it is really tough. I live close to Mannheim. But no contact, then hard to get job, is the reality nowadays here.

this guy is a corporate shill (ifo), what do you expect him to say?

@@doofus9007 I expect him nothing to say but I just wanted to tell the truth, here about contact, the stronger the contact, the better the chance to get the job, which is not good at all. But reality unfortunately.

no, the Russians were kicked out when the Berlin Wall was destroyed by the people

There are reforms to be done in Germany, but also a great potential. No other European country could've mustered such a military might than Germany did back then. It took rest of the Europe, the US and ruzzia to bring down German army and even then it was no easy feat.

No… we don’t need borscht bots wasting their life to write bs.

​​​​@@alsanchez5038 *Верно, вам нужны афганцы и сомалийцы которые будут всю жизнь жить на налоги твоих родителей😂😂😂* *Ты готов принять ислам, сын мой?😂😂😂*

@@alsanchez5038 Yes, Mr Sanches, very German name right there. The hubris on you saying "we". Who's you? Also, have you any idea how pathetic it is to call someone a bot when you have no argument of your own?

Right about energy, wrong about work.

@@shiptj01 Have you been to Berlin? Seems like there's a whole lot of nothing happening. Bohemian inactivity with daddy's bucks.

blame foreigners, foreign culture and foreign countries for all their problems, but 50 % of the economy is exports hahah

German "Logik".

Because industry is being f**ked by Germany's inept government and slammed with the highest taxes in the world. It's an entirely homemade problem, and one a 6yo would have seen coming.

Russian immigration will not happen for security reasons for a long while after the war.

the lessons from East Germany seem to have been forgotten by younger Germans

They closed many Goethe institutes, that's a shame!

German has lost cheap energy. And it cannot bear losing the market….Anglo Saxon try to force the Germany to die….

the funniest thing is just after scholz visit, German says they arrested 4 Chinese spy. looks like some one didn't like scholz visit China.

@@mastertrend4685 more important, Russia has lost oil sales and access to Euros, which it's obviously pretty hurt about (read comments)

The salaries ARE (way too) low,. but taxes are high. Plus you can't compare cost of living in western Europe vs. China

Countries in Asian countries also don't overprice their services .

Overpricing kills the consumer forever. Long term adherence to global competitiveness will always help the state.

Germany probably doesn`t deserve to be a sovereign state because of their dark past.

@@happymelon7129US has arms in several countries of the world.But none of them is called occupied ,except Germany.

Because the UK is doing so well? LOL.

thats the problem. Germany-like the UK-needs to start building things, not just high end cars

@@icu17siberia What are you talking about? Seriously, the cluelessness of youtube commenters. Just looking at cars, Germany covers low-cost cars, utility cars, trucks, construction vehicles, car parts. But beyond that airplanes from Airbus, chemical products from BASF, optical equipment from Zeiss, to name just 3 of the areas where Germany is an industry leader. Not to mention that Germany is famous for its extensive small and medium companies that produce all kinds of goods and export them all over the globe.

Germany builds a lot of stuff, but physical products eat up a lot more capital (and subsequently wages) than services and the process can get more easily offshored.

SERVICE? In Germany? Are you kidding?!

Borscht bot

You mean defeat by the Russians. The US theater was just a side show.

Good bot!

Germany needs to grow a "spine" to kickstart its economy. 00000ccupied since WW2

Russia took away that cheap energy, and Germany’s growth was already showing signs of struggle before that.

Like Kennedy did for America in the 1960's, and China is doing today

Maybe the citizens of Germany should first think about how to be more useful for the economy.

@@IngVasiu and what have any foreign workforce to do with that? In a ideal way? If i think abaut it...

@@Cyril_Sneer If there would be more skilled citizens that also have higher willingness to work, it would be better. I might be biased by my own experience, but it seems to me that more and more people in Germany do not have the willingness to work. anymore.

@@IngVasiu Hmm, probably your right, overall. BUT, i was born 81' in the former GDR. People of that Area (a lot) would yell at that/you, even they have the same opinion. Because they still don't define as that Germany you are talking about, but are part of that Germany at the same time (complicated). But please try to don't say anything like that to someone of that Area... Anyway... The Fact that this is necessary for Germany/the german Economy is not a good Thing. From the german Side. Right?

Times have changed!

U mean immigrants?😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Because it’s almost impossible to raise them, all developed countries are screwed in terms of birth rates

russia is irrelevant as a market. And they are not a reliable supplier of resources, so irrelevant in that area too.

There are grants for startups like that in Germany.

Stop spewing false information. Tell me Tesla in China is not 100% owned by Tesla.

Geely is blocked from owning more than 10% share in Daimler by German government but Tesla own 100% for their China company.

lol nice joke, the Germany is in this mess because they’re dare not talk back to their masters in Washington

Russia put a stop to that. The way its leadership thinks, it would have eventually happened short of Russian Forces entering Germany to “secure” the other end of the pipeline.

We all knew 007 is a $py , only for UK interest.
