    “an overregulated economy, high energy costs, high labour costs, high taxes and a declining level of education and qualifications.”

    Yeah. Because self-regulation and no taxes certainly worked for, for example, America’s skills and education level.

    They STIHL think that more hours lead to more productivity. All I know is no pay leads to finding alternative pay.

      No, they don’t. They are just openly lying at this point because they get high on fucking over people.

      Pensions, social security and health care are all linked to wages. Proposing less pay for the work you do to save the welfare state is like proposing to smash your head with a hammer to increase cogntive abilities.

      The cruelty is the point, not the increased productivity. Far-right work moralists think I should slice open my hand, not in an attempt at self harm, but while working with a faulty machine, to prove I am a man and better than the non-workers.

        Not exactly; fatigue affects pretty much everything. If I don’t get enough sleep, I just watch cartoons at work. I’ll take my time to fix a machine that can flatline me if I make a mistake. Being unpaid only fuels my motivation to not do anything and in certain cases watch it all crumble.

        Also the security guard example is an interesting choice to reference. You know what they do? Look pretty and call the PD. Unless it’s special detail, it’s generally for appearance. Even in emergencies, the liability cost isn’t worth it as well as jail time and court costs. I hate to break it to you but the security guard isn’t going to stick their neck out for you unless they want to kill or are extremely altruistic.

    I find it amusing the CEO of a company whose employees - at a bare minimum - are awash in chainsaws has any opinion on their pay that is not in line with the employee idea of fair wages

    Chainsaws could be turned into very effective guillotines. Just saying.

    …In the past eight years we have lost around 15 percent of our industrial output. Month after month Germany is losing around 15,000 industrial jobs

    I mean, keep deporting your workforce totally works. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

    MBAs too, while we are at it. They like to play cookie clicker with the global wealth distribution and it is insane.

    I don’t disagree with the point of this post, but the image of the chainsaw in the article was completely incorrectly captioned.

    It is actually a photo of an electric powered (not electric start) 2 man chainsaw (not one man) that weights 48 kg (106 lb).

    So is the author not careful, or did a slop machine make it?

    Also I’ve never seen of an electric start chainsaw in person and there were only a couple models in the 70s that made it to consumers and had weird removable batteries.

      Will it cut a billionaire in half and how fast?

      Would you recommend a better model for the job?

        The little electric ones that cut through aluminum poles are probably plenty. Lithium ion power tool batteries are crazy powerful at this point so there’s no need to mess around with gas axes anymore.

    Now we need to muster all our strength for further reforms that will then generate tangible investment and growth impulses.

    A+ at saying a lot of words that only have meaning to a select class and no one else.
