@wegianshooter All true, but they're still comparably sized economies, societies–Germany as what a social-dem USA *could* be. -
@ChMadar you are more idealistic than moi, which is good. Slavery a bigger burden than Nazis, I think. Drug war, safety net, education ... -
@wegianshooter That's an interesting--and weighty--point about comparative burdens of history--

@ChMadar The German model is no longer a high wage one. Socialdem gov over 10 y ago has established reforms towards a cheap labor market. -
@nschepers Yes, truly. But compared to US & the new jobs that are being created here, those are relatively high-wage jobs. -
@ChMadar Okay, seems legit.
