When you import unproductive people, the unexpected happens.

I keep my heat at 65 degrees. I was able to keep it at 70 degrees four years ago.

It’s not just ‘stuff’ that isn’t affordable - it’s also the comfort of our cities, our markets and our neighborhoods.

That’s all turning to crap, The ‘quality of life’ is just that - and quality doesn’t mean shopping in stores with items locked behind glass, or fears of being carjacked ... It’s about resepct for our cities and leaders... trust in our schools and teachers who care about our kids. And most of that? It’s gone. and yeah, a cellphone doesn’t make up for the losses.

I thought covering that was one of the big draws of European socialism?

Of course it is! Look at all of the people were bringing from Third World cesspool countries with backward tribal cultures.

Reason is pretty simple, Democrats and Moslems.
Both anti Christian philosophies.

The USA is in decline also, just not as bad as Europe, and that’s typical of most cycles. Also, we live in a much more interconnected world economy these days.

“When Wall St. sneezes, the world gets pneumonia.” is the old saying. It needs an update.

In the 1970’s there was lots of inflation but wages also went up a lot.

This time they are importing massive legals and illegals from the Third World to every Western country, to make sure the wage spiral doesn’t happen again.

cf. Third World labor standards, I’m seeing people delivering pizza on motorcycles, and bicycles now. (Canada, West Coast) Anyone else see things like this ?

Instead of Uber, I’ve had to downgrade to rickshaw if that’s any indication.

Cold is just a conservative conspiracy theory. The Ministry of Truth has proven the climate is experiencing unbridled thermal feedback because tax rates are too low, and we're all going to die.

There is no such a thing as quality life. Only quality people

Socialism. You eventually run out of other people’s money. The tell tale sign is high inflation. The Government starts taxing money itself by putting the printing presses into overdrive. The other sign is high debt. With Americans now paying one trillion dollars just to pay the interest on the debt already acquired I’d we’ve reached the ‘out of other people’s money’ part.
