In Germany, their communities are based in Chamber of Commerce where the leaders of business regularly meet to establish community growth. None is there to talk about shareholder value; instead, their meetings focus on the good of the community.
In Germany, they have Lacquer manufacturing coexisting in residential because a Central Bank funds the needed safety requirements. Thus the local small manufacturer, that we cannot do in California, coexists with a community offering good paying jobs, paying taxes, paying back the loans, and living as a good steward of the community. We have in the US an equity model, and greed rules the day. In Germany, Banks are viewed as the bad guys while manufacturing are the good guys. All due to a Government Central Bank that directly lends to business.
