What do Italian companies owning most of Spanish electricity has to do with Spanish electricity prices? Obviously it can have some effect in some way, but I was telling you to compare electricity prices in Spain and other EU countries to to bring this up.
Prices of electricity in Spain is cheaper than in most EU countries and is projected to become cheaper thanks to solar, which is an advantage that investors are considering now for industrial projects in Spain.
>What the Spanish government regardless of political party, since they all serve the same master, has done is export graduates.
While I agree that Spanish politicians serve the capital, the reality is Spain is not exporting that many graduates, check emigration rates, they are low in Spain.
>What's the point of getting tertiary education in Spain when some German went to vocational school and plenty more jobs opportunities and well better paid than any kind of work in Spain.
Without an educated population those better jobs would never come to Spain, an educated population is a competitive advantage that can be improved.
Also, there are reasons to want to live in Spain over Germany besides salary, many Germans are actually willing to take a pay cut to move here.
>I'm sure serving more beers and kicking people out of apartments to rent them to foreigners will make the country stand tall and proud.
I agree with you that tourism isn't some panacea, but you just don't seem to understand my point.
What can Spain offer now that people want, what can Spain offer in the close future, what can Spain offer 30 years into the future.
Now tourism works for Spain, it brings in money and make unemployed people get a job, that's good.
There are problems like the problem with rents that sadly isn't a problem for rich people so it won't get really solved, but it's not easy to solve either even with political will.
If you have a magical way to give Spain some other competitive advantage(s) I'll love to hear it.
