Another thing, greed is too great, they have to think about this if they are going to take money in the coffin, it is very easy to just want it and they also don't end these wars because they don't want to make much profit for themselves.
What nonsense!
Here is a CEO of a large company giving the solution! Based on his internet studies!!
That's over there in Germany. Here, in Brazil, Volkswagen has announced million-dollar investments in the coming years, much to the despair of delivery drivers.
Germany is no longer the “engine” of Europe. Its economy is in decline and one of the many reasons is the drop in exports, which impacts the government and companies.
Unfortunately, with our rulers only wanting to collect taxes, stealing our lives by working so hard, it is not far off that many companies will leave here and go to other countries 😔
Are you living in Germany?
With Bozó, Ford and Mercedes closed their factories here and went to produce abroad.
With the current government, Volkswagen will close factories in Germany to invest here.
You see!
You want the prisoner, ****, the country is a ****, the IPVA is back, tax reform, Brazil will be the biggest tax payer, you ****, **** of ****
