Adidas takes over Reebok

[Franconicus]

Many posts here are concerned about the ruined economy in socialistic Europe. The capitalistic model in the US leads to a much better economy.

Despite of that you hear of German companies taking over their American competitors (Daimler, Telekom, Adidas). How weak is the German economy really?

And who told it is weak?

Just to name a few : Crazed Rabit, PJ, Kaiser. Basically all the people who dislike Europe for some reason

Germany is not a dead horse yet, and although things aren't going very well in France, I'm still confident my country economy will get better in a distant future.

Well if that is what you call bad, than Russian economy is near zero rating.

British economy isn't doing too badly at the moment, although it is in somewhat of a slowdown at the moment, the drop in interest rates today should help perk things back up again.

I was amazed they dropped interest rates, never expected it, it should however help the ecnomy so it is good.

And as I have mentioned many times, the EU nations economies are fairly fine.
