    Even in countries with a welfare state system. Mainly because we depend so much on the USA and they just carelessly plays monopoly with the world economy (2008 crash plus subsequent “quantitative easing” is why we have high apartment prices). I just hope we can decouple before everything that is happening now will affect us too much.

      The US empire is going down, fast. Countries that don’t decouple now will go down with it

        The problem is systemic with the world. Pretend like any country is better and you’ve lost the point. It isn’t nations or races that made this problem. It’s wealth. The elite class is the problem and they are the same problem in every country.

          Completely agree - the US empire has never worked for the US people, but global capital, which moved to the US as the British empire fell.
