Do you remember when the Euros loved making fun of the US economy

A lot of colleges have similar programs, like Formula SAE. Basically students build a formula race car from scratch, competing with teams from around the world. I was a member of the Ohio State Formula SAE team my freshman year. My brother, an ME student, stuck with it longer though and became the captain of the engine team.

This isn't some extra curricular just for kicks, though. It's a legit part of their studies and need to do it to finish their degree.

I remember kids doing stuff like that too. But it was a volunteer thing. The Germans enforce that kind of activity. Makes their students top notch.

Europeans always fail at comedy, that's why there aren't any european stand up comedians.
 
lol @ german engineering. I thought this was just a dumb american myth, is this a canadian thing too?

People seriously still believe ww2 propaganda and vw commercials?

German engineering universities rarely rank in the top 50 worldwide. Even if you want to stick with automotive output as your crackpot ranking system, the japanese have been shitting on them for years.

I've got no bones with Germany, hell, I'm German... but 'german engineering' is a marketing triumph, not an engineering accomplishment.

It's awesome in that yeah, cool.

But their studies quite literally consume their lives. The German work ethos is ever pervasive.

Their reward of course is tons and tons of money and 5 weeks paid vacation a year, but fuck if I would trade that for the entirety of my youth

So why do they make less than americans on average?

I agree. As a long-term strategy, it's going to be the model for the rest of the world. North America will be next, followed by East Asia. It's possible I'll see a unified world currency in my lifetime, but I doubt it. It will happen though.

YES! Lets combine our currency with the rest of the other shitty currencies of the world.

Terrible idea. Kill yourself
 
How many of your financially irresponsible relatives would you share your bank account with? That's effectively what Germany will have to do. Germany discussed after 6:30.



Also, this is an excellent article on Greece by Michael Lewis, author of the Big Short and Blind Side.

"The national railroad has annual revenues of 100 million euros against an annual wage bill of 400 million, plus 300 million euros in other expenses. The average state railroad employee earns 65,000 euros a year. Twenty years ago a successful businessman turned minister of finance named Stefanos Manos pointed out that it would be cheaper to put all Greece’s rail passengers into taxicabs: it’s still true. “We have a railroad company which is bankrupt beyond comprehension,” Manos put it to me. “And yet there isn’t a single private company in Greece with that kind of average pay.”

You laugh, until California goes down and takes the rest of the states with it. We have less than 10 years, and that's if we do everything we can to stall it.
 
Fox News tell you that one Musashi? What about the other states that are fucked in debt worse than CA?

Michael Lewis also did an article on Cali. Basically he says that states will not go bankrupt because they are able to push the debt down to the county and city level making them go bankrupt, with Valejo being the example here.
