Some context from someone who lives in germany:

VW has for quite a while now failed to read the writing on the wall and join in on the growing market for electronic cars. All the while getting subsidies from the german government.

Now they cant compete anymore and even their regular cars are way to expensive for a lot of germans to buy. And the chinese manufacturers are pushing them even further out of a market they failed to enter by refusing to innovate years ago.

A lot of this reads over here like hostage taking: They want more subsidies for their failing company model, or they leave the country.

I just read the comment section on this very much christian-oriented article.Pretty fun to see these some smoothbrains squirm while getting beaten at their own game.

At least until you realize that these “pro-lifers” will just let you die for their own satisfaction and are, by all accounts, the enemy of every single women on the planet.
