I am from Germany. I grew up in a place called Braunschweig. It’s the second largest town in Lower Saxony. Employment and economic opportunity is dominated by the car giant Volkswagen which is largely ‘running’ the North of Germany, and ‘driving’ the North German economy. A good proportion of my family and friends works for this automobile corporation or its supply chain.

You cannot imagine Braunschweig without Volkwagen. Our politicians - always dead set on job creation (but never on diversity in the job market) - certainly can’t.
