The company should have offered language classes for everyones safety!
This sounds like swedish/danish cooperative ventures, where each group
insist that the other can understand them, since the language are so
close. This never works.
Some of the extra material on the Bron/Broen DVDs mentioned that :) One of the Swedish actresses mentioned being on a bus in Copenhagen, hearing a
girl say 'skumfidus', and thinking it must be something dirty.

The molding plant I referred to had moved from Connecticut to rural
Georgia, attracted by cheap labor. They had not taken into account the difference in work ethic. As the week progressed the work force thinned
out. By Friday there weren't many people besides our crew and the foreman
who had relocated from Connecticut. I think he was in his 40's but had a heart attack, possibly brought on by dealing with the frustration.
The town was dry so we had to go to Athens, about 30 miles away, for R&R.
The university was there so it was a little more civilized. Madison billed itself as the only town Sherman didn't burn on his way to the sea.

This was the early '70s and southern rock was just starting to take off. I had long hair and a beard and after staring at me for a while the busboy
at the local restaurant finally worked up the courage to come over and ask 'Are y'all one of them rock musicians?" About 10 years later Athens would spawn R.E.M as rural Georgia caught up with the US.
Or the 1985 comedy "Gung Ho" about a fictional Japanese auto company
setting up shop in Pennsylvania.

The delays with TSMC's Arizona plant weren't a comedy. I think half the workforce is still from Taiwan.
Hmmm ... maybe a 'virtual factory' where all parts aren't on the same
continent. Govts won't like it but for practical issues ......

Having the parts on Taiwan is worrisome. Someday the PRC may stop rattling its sabers and get serious. They don't have anyone across the North Sea thinking about annexing them but having ASML as a sole source is another potential problem.

Was that the one with Michael Keaton ? Never
really liked him - something just irritating
about his personality.

Well, communications CAN be a problem ... can't expect
all workers to learn Japanese, Chinese or English. Some
of the latest tech can help a bit, but it's not smooth.

That is why god invented esperanto! Force everyone to learn esperanto,
and no one can complain about being treated unfairly, and there will be universal love and happiness!

I think the key here is just to invite him over for coffee and see where
it leads!

I was fascinated by Esperanto when I was a kid. UNESCO was pushing it in
the '50s. It's a good thing those pre-teen fascinations don't last long.

tl;dr Synopsis: Zamenhof tried to invent a new Yiddish to unite humanity into a beige colored mass all speaking the same pidgin whatever. Hitler wasn't amused and singled out the language in 'Mein Kampf'.
I'm surprised the globalists haven't rolled it out again although it is rather Eurocentric in derivation.

Esperanto - AAAUUGH !!!
Even thus, too 'Euro' - the Wokies/anti-colonialists
will never approve now. HAS to be based on Hindi or
Sikh or something. The more West-Hating the better !
Anyway, even English didn't become "universal"
despite the UK owning half the world for a century+
The tech is kinda here for good real-time 'universal
translators' however ... spoken word -2- spoken word
with little detectable delay.
