the guy's speaking of today's germany :
"against all mainstream wisdom of the neo-liberals.
We have strong unions, we have strong social security systems,
we have high wages. ... if I believed what the neo-liberals are arguing,
we would have to be bankrupt, but
apparently this is not the case. Despite high
wages.despite our possibility to influence companies,
the economy is working well in Germany."
this blather goes on and on
all the while contrasting
these lovely german plants
filled with german waged paid auto makers on the one hand
and
the "fast tank " follies of the US located satanic mills of these same
german auto makers
then after showing the wage and bene differentials per hour for assembly line opertatives
the fucker fails to mention productivity per hour in all this
yup fails to tie together compensation per hour with value added per hour
then he jumps to show us
the german producers are profitable
despite producing the majority of their autos "at home "
how so
is "real " per hour va that much higher
hey if not
then if
net margins are maintained anyhow
despite far higher compensation cost at home
its gotta be market by market price discrimination pal
german produced cars commanding higher prices
in euro-asian markets then US produced cars in notre amigo markets etc etc
but that isn't noticed one way or the other either
what are german car prices for same autos in different markets ???
not only that
but over all corporate profits could
be coming in higher proportion
from sales of units out of the bastards low wage foreign ops
like here in the USA
oh well
worthless goo goo dip shit like this
nattering on and on
about how much better
a class collaboration model like germany's
"works" for everyone involved
then the yankee class adversarial model
while completely UN -CLOSING THE LOOP
by failing to place each production platform's contribution
to over all "profits"
this total outcome comes within an over arching global corporate structure ie MNC
both in production AND markets
we need a model that forces us to fill in these howling lacunae
in the accepted narratives
