>As a Southern European I think that our big strength is flexibility


Regarding the flexibility: I'm very flexible (remember I'm an Italian
government employee who is also an illegal immigrant), but my
flexibility is not enough for increasing my productivity for the half of
my life I spend in queues.

To have any productivity in this particular country where the
infrastructure is broken, one _must_ have also the social and familial
network (to get help from someone who knows someone who knows someone
who knows someone who knows someone ...) Italy does not not run by merit
(i.e. skills, experience, competence), it runs by who you know.

In this productivity discussion, one needs an evaluation of the quality
of the productivity, since a high output of garbage is not useful to
anyone.
