I think Germans are asking similar questions. Brandenburg Airport was delayed a lot and for things which ought never to have gone wrong. I think Merkel made a joke about there still being plenty of high-quality German engineers, just that they all worked in Switzerland.

But ich bin Ausländer, and my German isn't good enough to do an in-depth analysis of local media opinions on any topic, so I may just be focusing on a few headline cases and mistaking the details for the gestalt.
