Heuschrecken ohne Ende
The locusts are coming! No, wait. They’re already here. Or they are still here, I should say. Just when you thought that all of those evil American imperialistic McJob McGlobalizers had already sucked the life blood out of Germany and must have moved on to greener pastures down south (out east?) by now, word leaks out that US companies are continuing to invest heavily here.
According to an American Chamber of Commerce survey, a top 50 list so-to-speak, US firms are still pumping billions into Germany and directly employ over 800,000 people here, many of these actually believed to be so-called “Germans” themselves. Global Empire of Evil flagship McDonald’s employs most of these powerless, walking dead McZombies, of course, but it is closely followed by other American bloodsucking exploiteurs like Ford, ExxonMobil, IBM, Coca-Cola and Hewlett-Packard.
Many concerned German politicians now fear that these jobs are here to stay, too, most of these companies already having the biggest part of their relocation and downsizing process behind them. And to complicate matters even further, many American managers have an inexplicably positive view of Germany at the moment. They are under the mistaken impression that the Germans have somehow managed to “reform their system” and have “pulled themselves back up by the bootstraps” again. Stupid capitalist swine.
No mass protests are planned for the moment, but grassroots citizen groups have begun collecting signatures in the vain hope of fending off the money-hungry Geld geil (money hungry) ghouls before it is too late. But it already is much too late, of course. Stupid anti-capitalist swine.
Ich hätte gern einen McJob zum Mitnehmen.

Kommentare auf Deutsch? Klar.
PS: Thanks for the Strike-Bike link, anonymous, was quite unfamiliar with it.
Do you think it's a typical case of German whining or do they deserve a last chance before the bloodsucker's ruling is made?

You can not have a high service/welfare/socialist state with out constant and forever high taxes. Just the cost of these taxes alone make the labor/small business environment very impossible. One or the other, but not both.
Further, I do not see why other German workers should be burdened with support for these bike workers. I have read that there are in excess of a million or more unfilled tasks that need workers.
If the strike bikers need work, there is work. If they want to stay in town, fine.
Lastly, I don't even know why a factory is needed to produce 1,500 bikes. It seems a couple of large basements or barns or garages would be sufficient. I would wait until the factory is auctioned off, buy for pennies what equipment you need and start up.
But mostly, we are moving into a intellectual world. Up until only fifty years ago, a lot of work required backbone and muscle. This is leaving us, thank God. I know this because that is how I make my money. As of yet, world workers have not wrapped their heads around the idea of using brain power. Our schools, based on pre-intellectual/ industrial labor models are a burden and a hindrance and not innovative. I feel they actual hinder development of intellect as this would flood their intellectual market and thus drive down their nice, comfortable living.
I suggest you remove yourself from the ideological box canyon you have put yourself into. Zen out. Relax. Clear your mind. Quiet the voices. You are more flexible than you know. Back away from this fruitless struggle and wander a bit in the forest of the present. Something will turn up if only you are not shut down.
Good luck.
