On a serious note, EU will become uninhabitable due to economic and demographic situation. Cutting itself away from cheap Russian resources was the point of no return. So I will inevitably have to expatriate. This is not a matter of personal opinion, situation or preference. It is a fact for all people in the EU, whom might simply not understand it, yet. I am still not sure where I would go though. I have been researching this for years, so I am well read on other places. Still no clear winner.
industrial revolution, or the AI hype for that matter, are not good for humanity. yes, people will move on to do other jobs, but there won't be as many new types of jobs to be done. which means more people will compete for the same jobs, which drives down wages. that's why we have all this modern tech and still work 8 hour days, 5 days a week, instead of working less and having better quality of life.
i wonder who's great idea it was to create a debt-based economy. i understand that pegging currency to hard assets(ie. gold) limits growth, as the availability of the asset vs needs of economic growth will be very unlikely to meet, but once you start making money out of thin air, the only way this ends is in a complete economic collapse and currency devaluation to 0.
Married With Children was airing from 1987 to 1997. Not a single person found it strange that Al was able to own a house, a car, have stay at home wife with two children and a dog on a shoe salesman's salary. That was less than 30 years ago - a span of one generation. Now compare that with today, yet people are totally compliant with the devaluation of currency.
Because you still have hope that this war will end with your honor intact. Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead souls, and ask the ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
