There are parts of Germany that are doing quite poorly.
Don't tell me TALES and deceive the AMERICAN PEOPLE: I lived in Germany for four years and traveled all of it!!!
A small example: a can of the best blackcurrant jam (which is not even availavle in America) costs ... 99 cents. In America, a can ofa disgusting jam with a high sugar content (otherwise it is impossible - the Americans will not gain weight, and then -they will not buy medications or nutritional supplementsto reduce weight - business is business!) - 4 dollars 50 cents!
Three types of cheese -250 g (0.55 pounds) - cost 1 euro 25 cents
Well, I'm not talking about the quality of products and their diversity.
This is the GENUINE FREEDOM... Freedom OF CHOICE - A WIDE RANGE OF PRODUCTS!
By the way, you have not answered the question why we live so poorly
