GFrei.News asked why Audi is investing billions in Georgia in the USA while the company plans to cut more than 7,000 jobs in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. The author cited high energy costs, labor overhead, taxes, bureaucracy and regulation, as well as what he considers unpredictable politics as reasons. According to GFrei.News, the German government has already largely destroyed several areas of technology in which Germany had been a leader. The author mentioned nuclear energy, fracking, magnetic levitation technology, genetic engineering, chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, and identified the automotive industry as the next affected area. Moreover, GFrei.News wrote that the automotive industry consists not only of Audi but also of numerous suppliers, many of which are already insolvent. These suppliers are often central employers and bearers of prosperity in small towns. The development is not primarily attributed to globalization, China, or other scarcely controllable forces, but rather to decisions made by their own government, which are supported by mainstream media, according to the author. #Autoindustrie #Investitionen #Deutschland (translated)
