Ok, that fucken explains most everything. I dont know how folks over in Germany do things, but im gonna presume that theres a decently functional public transit system available in most regions. That doesnt exist here in the US for the most part, need to get anywhere you’ll probably be driving, and if you need to guarantee that the vehicle will work then you will probably own your own car.
No, you’re right, the US sucks in a large way, in many, many areas. What we’re all a bit put off by, and maybe it’s the time zone difference, or a cultural communication difference, is that we’re having g a discussion, receive information that doesn’t fit the pattern of our experiences. For example, and I’m not quoting your words, just how I received them: everyone I know leases, oh, and the company pays it, oh, and this is in Germany. This Information wasn’t presented initially, and I suppose it is on us and our assumptions, but the reader had to sus it out over several threads and we are lambasted as insipid when we’re not in possession of all the relevant data.
As stated, perhaps that is our fault. Maybe when first presented with an outlier claim, we should ask: “oh, wow - that’s amazing - what country do you live in?” and that would promote a more upbeat dialog.
The only place I’ve heard of everyone in the company driving company cars was in California, a water manager was stealing water and selling it on top of some other scams. He spread the spoils around to keep people quiet it took over 20 years before he was caught.
Where the fuck do you live that everyone drives company cars? Where I live the closest ya get is company trucks with the water or electric company.
