> Relative to income, it costs large companies four times more to lay off Germans and French than American workers

Yep, so saying Europe can build software is pretty much like Western factories trying to compete with slave or child labor in some developing part of the world.

I mean most Americans probably don't want to open their own sweatshop garment factories. But it does mean that if we start ww3 that shirts may be harder to come by. I think it's probably a good thing that the entire world is too interdependent to want to start shooting at each other? (G10 at least)
