@afonsoabreu5144 He is talking about Germany, and implicitly glorifying everything socialist (unterminable, unaccountable Professors) justified with the argument that everyone can afford it , which also means absence of standardised merit based admission process. Any wonder German corporate world is near 100% homogeneous, far more than UK, USA, even Switzerland and Netherlands. Because everything is subjective, and there are zilch transparence or accountability.

German salaries are among the worst for the productivity demand for a specific job. Add to that sky high tax and social security contribution. E.g. a technical architect working for Oracle in Houston would get salaries in range of 200,000 USD p.a., whereas his equivalent with a tertiary degree in CS from major German Technische Universitäten, would command 62,000 EUR before tax, transpirng into a paltry 3000 Euro per month after all deductions, that too in an expensive city like Munich or Hamburg. From Europe, only Switzerland can match urban US skilled job salaries (even London and Luxembourg would be far behind). PS: German median wealth ownership is worse than Malta and Slovenia, and at par with Greece and Portugal.

@ahmedgouhmid6132 US has minimum wage as well. Furthermore, I fail to see the meritocratic basis of US economy. I am sure you love your as a fonctionnaire in France.

@ahmedgouhmid6132 Not everyone earning high salary is FAIR, because it is determined by merit and not everyone has same merit. You are an underperformer, so you love those societies which gives you more freebies.

@roaldruss4211 I did make a solid argument on the bias of the person in question. Since when being called fonctionnaire is an insult in France?
