"What's wrong with Germany?" Too many things to list on a single posting. But I will name a few:

The effect of the state in the people is the worse and only the next generation will be able to contemplate life without the state.

Young people go to an interview and ask: How many days of holidays I will have? The guys coming to work abroad, bring excess of luggage for his hobby and books about diving.

The stereotype of the Germany working by the book, is still present but with a tricky twist. I only work if there’s in the book. It is a bonanza for lazy guys not to work.

The stereotype of the competitiveness of the people is still present with a nefarious twist: People don’t try to be better than the others, they try to screw anyone to get an advantage and no one cares about the goals the company have.

Then there’s age. Old people and ideas percoclates the whole society. There is no renovation. Universities, boardrooms, churches, civil sevrice you name it. Only old people. The new blood when it get there, is already old too. There’s not that mixing that makes the optimal composition: The old apply experience, the medium aged apply energy, the young try the impossible and from this combination a enterprise prosper. Not in Gemany.

You'd expect a industrial design outfit to have a few renegades from the human race working there. No in Germany. They have a white haired man who desgins for all the Mittelstand. (And the guy s good!!!).

The mittelstand are dying like flies. Once the old man who made the company retires, the company nose dives. Again, no renovation.
