It’s by design.

The rich want low housing and high population because it makes their assets go up. Traditionally like silent generation, greatest generation and before affordable homes for the working class and the following generations was seen as an ideal that people were willing to die for. This ideal was largely realised with the boomers.

But the boomers then decided it is better if they have houses and no one else does because their wealth can go up and they can then make money like the land owners than their grandparents were kept in poverty by. Now they can do it to their children!

I honestly don’t think it will be solved until the boomers die. Even then I wouldn’t count on it. Too much effort to keep population increasing no matter the cost.

If I was PM I would end up get voted out by doing something drastic like trying to put through a land value tax and building a new city 1mill+ city maybe between Hull and Leeds. Put a big fucking 200mph train line between Liverpool and Hull. Tell everyone to get fucked and steal some quotes from Churchill and JFK about going through hard time for the better of the country.

French citizens.

No country is responsible for the wellbeing of others. The days of empire building are over.

You need to sort our bed time routine out.

Don’t do anything in bed other than sleep (or sex). Go to bed try to sleep, if you don’t sleep get up and go to another room and come back in half an hour, an hour whatever it takes. Try sleep again if that doesn’t work after a bit get up again. I actually find going for a pee and trying again works surprisingly well. Take your TV out of your room, don’t use your phone in bed, don’t exercise in your bedroom and don’t exercise late and night.

Try the military sleep method.

If you want time to waste on something, do a jigsaw or scale model.

Join a board game group.

Watch The World at war 1973. Best ww2 doc ever made and its 26 episodes long. That will waste some time.

It’s Apple.

Plenty if people will pay that and think it’s an amazing deal for cutting edge, futuristic, elegant technology that no other company is providing.

The stats I’ve seen have shown that immigrants from Schengen contribute more than average and commit less crime than locals.

As such on a purely data driven view there is nothing wrong with Schengen. For most people the issues isn’t with movement within the people that have lived in Europe for generations. You know they are European, they have European values and there is a back and forth movement/ different perks. In a way Schengen works the way it was designed and works well.

The tax break allows you to save. Means you will accumulate a deposit earlier in life, all else being equal.

What’s wrong with catering to the young? They need help.

Any two party voting system is a terrible, terrible system. New Zealand changed theirs and it’s much better now (according to Kiwis I spoke to).

Do the democrats actually have anyone worth putting up instead of Biden? Like what’s the alternatives?

Surely they must have at least one young guy from Texas that wears a cowboy hat or something.

Am I too old for the internet now?

Well some I agree with strongly. Other stuff you have just completely made up. Were you get your info from Facebook?

Not worth it. Get way more stealing off the church roof instead.

Yes so we agree. Wages need to be increased and the best way to do that is to stop businesses undercutting wages by hiring cheap foreign labour. Demand for labour goes up and with it wages.

Inflation is largely a global issue.

Are you saying they magically become different people once they are in the country?

A country can choose to let that person in or not.

There is a big difference between tax cuts in general and tax cuts on the poorest people in society.

But I agree. Tax cuts across the board are a bad thing usually but I can see why people vote for that. People feel they need more money and it’s not coming from wage increase.

Exactly. That’s what’s happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.

This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn’t not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.

You don’t need a wall. Just don’t let people in.

It’s not fear mongering if it is already happened and people can see first hand the impacts. That’s why people vote the way they do they see the reality of the situation and the current parties are telling them things that are lies.

Well done France. This is democracy in action. Ignore the people and tell them what they want, they will just find someone that will listen to them.

All the left/centrist parties in the world just need to look at Denmark and the far right will go away within one election cycle.

Tax in francs starts at €10,778.

You think anyone under 30 that earns more than €10,778 is rich. Come on.

I think helping everyday working class people is a good thing. That’s what they want.

Sure if you want to help businesses fuck the common people. Keep wages low and prices high and keep the upper class rich.

Most people don’t think like that though.

They are their policies. People vote for policies. Um that’s how politics works.

Those policies seem to me something that would attract people. They currently have the largest amount of votes. So if people are voting for the parties policies what are they voting on? Their favourite party colour?
