There's a certain narrative on /biz/ when it comes to the US and Germany. The US is in the midst of a depression and on the verge of total collapse, with absolutely no employment opportunities available to anybody. Germany is thriving and wealthy, without any of the issues that plague other countries. So I'd like you all to take a guess, based on the above economic indicators, as to whether Countries A/B are Germany or the US.
