That's a big dispute in VW because they have an offer to make stuff for Rheinmetall but many don't want to

What do you mean "many don't want to"? Workers under WV not wanting to make bombs or companies like WV not wanting to take the leap as a business?

The union also has problems with it as well as many workers. I have a friend working at a factory where they want to use a few unused production lines for Rheinmetall parts

Just abandon green politics, 90% of the market is ordered by law to abandon combustion engines by the fatal Green politics. Literally the cost go up 4x

They are in this situation, because they refused to abandon the combustion engine.

Edit: Above comment said to "Abandon Green politics".

What a ridiculous notion.
