Made in Germany | A Different Kind of Boss

It were the Germans who introduced workers rights, unions and a social security system to the world.



[romanoswestwood]

@Lintflas Ironically the first "health care system/rights for the working class" were on pirate ships. But germany was the first western country to implement these things.

[Lintflas]

@romanoswestwood

The social security system is a German invention, and I don't think that a pirate ship should be compared with a nationwide system.

[romanoswestwood]

@Lintflas The government didnt ratify it because they wanted to, but because they had to to calm the mob down. Btw there is no big difference between pirates and the government of that time, apart from the fact that one are on the sea and others are on land

@meProudToBeCaucasian Your communication ability is in very high gear. Are you disabled?

[plendin]

@romanoswestwood It is still meant as a joke though. More like: "And you better look happy in there, for you are allowed to work for me."

[romanoswestwood]

@plendin @kMondrakken Yes he said it jokingly in the context plendin described. But still Prost uses an imperative form, so the tanslation cannot be "you're happy cause you work for me", but - "look happy! Because you can work for me!". I'm german mother-tongue and i see his irony, still, deutschewelleenglish tanslated it wrong. Thats my point.

[plendin]

@romanoswestwood Agreed (btw. I'm German as well^^). But isn't "You better look happy (...)" an imperative? That's no question to you, romanoswestwood (for I'm sure you understood, what I wanted to say), i'm just wondering... - maybe there is some native English-Speaker here, who can help?

Great Products, great man!

[inotaishu1]

Hearing this I can only say that it is not us germans that make our language sound hard to Americans its the Americans that speak German in this strange way.

[jamas12008]

This is really a REAL PROUD german man!!! Deutschland über alles!

[romanoswestwood]

@ 3:50 there is a small translate mistake, Prost says he SHALL act happy because he can work for him, not that he smiles BECAUSE he is happy to work for him

[fuckthe21stcentury]

@romanoswestwood Danke, Herr Prost, solche Führungskräfte brauchen wir!

[kMondrakken]

@romanoswestwood

he said it jokingly. Some British comedian once said that he finally got German humour when he realized that much of it is subtle stating of fact, not over the top exaggeration.
