Meanwhile Renault will be producing the 5 (upcoming small EV) in France for a pretty low price considering modern car (and especially EV) pricing. It’s even got a reasonable range.
My point bringing that up is… if this happens, it’s because VW is being greedy and seeks to outsource labour – likely to Asia. It’s not because it’s a necessary move to make their business viable.
I’ve always liked VAG cars, shit I currently have one, but they’ve been making such massive missteps for years now.
Username does not check out! Not at all! What have the Wormhole-beings done to you Nagus?!
There is nothing morally wrong with outsourcing.
There’s nothing wrong with leaving thousands jobless? Pulling out of an area and community that’s contributed so much to your success? Moving more and more operations to a country that practices genocide?
I think we have very different views on morality.
The net number of jobs does not change. They are not eliminating jobs, they are moving them. The same number of people are employed.
Spoken like a corporate apologist.
The net number of jobs does not change.
That’s not necessarily true at all. Companies downsize virtually all the time when they move.
And it’s not even what I said anyway, you’re putting words in my mouth. I said leaving thousands jobless. Do you understand?
And just glossing over the genocide part, eh? I’ll ask you directly: is genocide bad, good, or neither?
It also creates new jobs for thousands of other people. Why do you hate those people?
Address my comment then I might consider answering subsequent questions from you.

You are just a racist. It offends you that people in the developing world are getting jobs.
Seems like a misstep. If the cars aren’t selling, look outside the manufacturing plant for the problems.
I mean they hiked considerably the prices and then wonder why their cars aren’t selling well. Plus VW cars are very boring.
Well don’t forget the diesel emission scandal. They’ll happily cheat for profit as hard as possible.
