Some context from someone who lives in germany:

VW has for quite a while now failed to read the writing on the wall and join in on the growing market for electronic cars. All the while getting subsidies from the german government.

Now they cant compete anymore and even their regular cars are way to expensive for a lot of germans to buy. And the chinese manufacturers are pushing them even further out of a market they failed to enter by refusing to innovate years ago.

A lot of this reads over here like hostage taking: They want more subsidies for their failing company model, or they leave the country.

South Koera is really bad when it comes to gender issues. There is a whole movement of women who are fed up with the sexism they face, called “4B”, rejecting males outright as a response.

Also notworthy from the article:

At the same time, a government think tank recommended that girls start school earlier than boys, so that classmates would be more attracted to each other by the time they were ready to marry.

If your solution to a terrible work culture and people not having families is “to make the girls younger”, you have reached right-wing levels of thinly veiled insanity.
