Working <1600 hours a year only spending most of their former "efficient" time now by law converted to vacation on the beaches and other tourist traps worldwide.

Hey, if you can do it, and not suffer financial consequences, I say go for it. Are you jealous, Taro. It sure sounds like sour grapes to me


This is right on, if the population is constantly told that by their leaders, what do you believe their choice would be?

That is the situation in Germany now and this explains why their economy is now slipping even further behind comparing to all the other EU economies.

What are you reading these days, Ted? May I suggest Financial Times and The Economist for a starter. Get educated and up to date.

I like your historical view, Ted.
I was more concerned about the current state of the German nation.
You know what, back in the mid 16. century Sweden ruled the world!!
Most Americans may not be aware of this but I now, right here claim that to confirm that Sweden should be considered way ahead of the barbarians of Germany and Italy.
Not even to mention the Injuns of the Norte Americano.
