Also, you should read his post again, it had nothing to do with shipping, it was about some folks deriving pleasure in other folks pain. Germans have a great word for it,:
"Schadenfreude", literal translation, "Malicious Joy".
His post starts out with the statement, "Great system you guys got there-- cover the earth with huge amounts of concrete and asphalt..."
This implies that "We" (i.e. you guys) paved the Earth, and that "He" has nothing to do with it (i.e derives no benefits from the infrastructure).
Es ist mir egal was "Schadenfreude" bedeutet. Aber, auf Englisch, Ich würde "taking pleasure in other people's misery" gesagt. Ein "literal" Übersetzung ist Quatsch, nicht war?
Vielen Dank
Tschüss
