And I'd bet 5,000 of them work for automobile comapanies that generate illusory value in order to sell their signals, I mean cars, to rich people.  I wonder if 5,812 Americans, or even a proportional number, got permanent resident status in Germany?

At least a couple appear to be hausfraus that are sympathetic to the Tea Party who married Americans.

Interesting. Around 12 000 Brits.

More strikingly 7075 men, 4938 women and 1 'unknown'

The only number I could find is that 19,563 Americans migrated to Germany in 2012 according to our statistics office. Not sure if that number is comparable to the 5,812 Germans getting a permanent resident status according to the DHS. I would assume they are different as the 19k probably includes non-permanent residents.

5,812 Germans got permanent resident status in the US in 2012.

I bet half of those were Syt's sisters.

I love these office questionnaires.

This questionnaire guarantees complete anonimity!!!11!

question #1: Which part of the company do you work for?
question #2: What's your location?
question #3: What's your gender?
question #4: What's your age?

[Grey Fox]

Question #5 Do you have any employee under your supervision

and here, we get "French or English" to help narrow it down.

We're not a family of tribbles.

It feels weird using "we" in the context of my family.

I just booked my flight home.  :rock:
I stop over in Abu Dhabi for just long enough to be a pain but not long enough to leave the airport and see something.

If I had a choice between various countries to go to as an expat, the US wouldn't be among the top ten countries I guess. It's just not as attractive as some other places.

Oh yeah? Well Germany wouldn't make my top 20.

[Grey Fox]

Germany is not even on my list.

Well, Germany made it to Nummer One for me.

I loved the kraut who lectured me about Evil Amerikkka. While being interviewed by me to come to America to work a bit in stateside offices.

What a maroon.
