In America we've long accepted that certain well-paying industrial jobs are no longer viable in the U.S. because our wages and benefits make industrial goods too expensive to produce competitively.
I live in a small town about an hour’s drive from Frankfurt, although I am American. My little town and the very bucolic area in which I live is humming with industrial factories that produce exactly the same items we believe in America are “too expensive to produce in America anymore.” And yet these German factories pay high wages, offer excellent benefits (including six weeks paid vacation a year, maternity leave, etc.) and they are definitely not/not going out of business. There is basically full employment in this town; indeed, there’s a labor shortage here!

Germany, by far, is better at cucking their own population. One could argue that America was never a white country. Can you say the same about Germany?
Mittelstand. Small to medium size companies, often privately owned, that specialize in some tiny niche and not only supply German industry but export all over the world.
FREE education system that trains even retards into useful workers by funneling them into 2-3 year long apprenticeships or into university. Germany also has a more school like lower tier of university that cranks out decent engineers.
They make very specific and long term needed things that only they can make in huge quantities while maintaining consistent quality and they have been making those things for consecutive generations.

Importing millions of refugees. Thanks Germany.

Germany also benefits from EU fiscal policy lowering the price of exports, has more privileged access to more markets than the US, has a huge influence on EU policy and is both brain draining and exploiting the EU periphery.
Small medium-sized companies specialized in a technological niche where they are global market leaders, often family-owned VS. publicly traded multinational conglomerates competing on dumping

The US market is literally as large as the EU.

America always was a white country, nonwhites didn't have rights until 1965.

Meanwhile China's government policy is taking over German companies in Germany and there has been a lot of German outsourcing their buisiness to China .
It's really simple... The average US citizen would never give up his military-grade weaponry - therefore he must never be educated enough to understand his actual economic position. This allows free reign for abusive global capitalists.
The average german capitalist has no such luck as the whole populace had to be economically educated to rebutt/defend the centrally planned economy. This, however meant that the average german citizen could never obtain military grade weaponry or he would pose a real threat to the elite. Long story short they settled on keeping the economy stable and providing jobs for just enough people so there wouldn't be backlash.
The american elite can survive any crisis. The german elite is already under pressure when things are fine.

You're better at genociding native americans and slavery.
In this sense germany and the USA are antipodes, where germany is the epitome of culture and the USA the epitome of civilization. It's a shame they won and we live in that plastic world now, instead in one of iron.
