not only that. if houses prices go down and it looks like a trend for the coming years people who could now afford a house won't put the money into it

Now is same. we definitely sacrified our youth mental health,jobs, starting a family dreams, starting salary, hopes, future retirement, cost of renting an apartment, never ever hopes of buying a place and confined them in small third-rate boomer-owned apartment so that old people don't die from covid. many more healthy young people will die from this than they could have died from covid.
it is our western society and leaders that made this choice for us because our olds own all the power (just look at trump and biden pelosi age). and western leaders made this decision just like japan elderly people made the choice to go clean fukushima reactor so that their youth doesn't die from doing it.
I guess people need to make a choice. what kind of society do we wish to live in.
the narrative of being a russian pawn doesnt work. everyone loved assange until he underlined the oblivious corruption of clinton and hence contributed to make her loose rightfully so the election. I am no trump fan and I am for a non partisan vision of the world. a vision where freedom means telling the truth even if it hurts yourself or your political leaders. Assange is a victim of usa and it is sad to bring russia to the equation
The fallacy of the left is that for them (in France and USA) a black person or a muslim person is of one kind. just like a hivemind we have to be all same and opressed because cops are bad.
What was the issue for me during those 20 years were the rampant religious zealots trying to push their agenda on me. Forcing girls to wears the "right" clothes, building one-way windows hairdresser for women and islamic supermarkets right in the city center. Backed by leftists that again thought of immigrant as some kind of hivemind that all wanted this "religious freedom" they called through their "anti racism" campaigns. Ive seen all those leftist coming to some neighborhood and praising themselves of living among the diversity and sending their kids to private school too so that they don't spend time with the immigrants sons. I am not denying that the police makes mistakes, that controle au facies has some negative effects witht people who dress like rap / hood dudes and have normal decent lives but its more a by product of them tolerating the other side of the "immigrants" because of the lies the left sold them : that they are all same opressed by a society that does not want them. My life shows me that we are all same below the 1% whatever our color those are the people that will make us suffer, lower our wage, push our retirement age. the cops are just a piece of a broken system that are also victim of those 1%. Ive worked through my career with cops and I would never want to do their job in a country like France or the US.
- The european Union is not managed by France but by non-elected people seating and advising at the European Union level. You know people like mario draghi who was working at goldman sachs before taking a leading role in the EU without winning any election. Those people ex-american bankers that bring us "open market" laws that force services to become profitable (today is the post office, high speed train, tomorrow hospitals). you know those service that charge you more for a Paris-Marseille because they also serve remote locations in France at a loss to serve the few people that use this service there and have no other solution. Well Europe is a commercial entity that doesnt care about service or people. Only thing is the free market. A free market that benefits only one country - a massive export-based economy- in this community : Germany. This is why UK left.
-minimum wage is determined by what is the open market. The open market is EU. why do you think services jobs, trucks drivers, construction workers are underpaid in germany or france? why do you think our minimum salary is so low? It is because we compete with much cheaper workforce from other european countries. Just look at england rise in salary for drivers since Brexit.
-It seems that it escaped from your mind that bringing people from poor countries lower salaries because those people will do the work for cheaper as long as they can send some money home and buy a house further down (which won't be possible anymore for french blue collars due to rising cost of living)
Finally, saying that france is not welcoming immigrants while we are most likely in the top 5 of the most welcoming countries in the world (as a reminder in USA, Australia, Canada - the woke trinity- you need to meet a POINT permit to be welcomed, which at the end means you need 5 year of postgraduate study to be an immigrant there or to come from some quotas that they push for you. In France? Well school is free and you can come to study, you can come through any kind of neighboring countries because we don't have any control there, you can bring your family using "regroupement familial". it is a fallacy to say france is not welcoming immigration.
If you think every first generation immigrant can come and do a white collar job in a developed country it is most likely because you have no immigrant background and do not know of how this works. You working 5-15hours a week doesn't mean someone that has no education, a different culture, a different language will be able to do your job. he will do a blue collar job. and those jobs are disapearing year after year in France. Funnily those job they go to the places those people are leaving. Renault, Citroen, Peugeot and others are building their factories in Magreb, Eastern Europe under the premises that cost of doing that in France is too high while Japanese with toyota are building made in France cars.
Europe is a travesty of the idea it was once. A tool to make France poorer than it was, to remove its industries that could compete with USA or Germany. UK understood it too late as their industries too disappeared but at least they made a move.
they did that right after occupy wall street. they understood that this movement was dangerous for them because targerting the right people responsible for the racism, inequalities and theft in western societies. and instead of fighting against us they just poured money into minority-based marketing so that now the goldman sachs of the world sponsor the gay pride and other minority movements to push the narrative that racism is because of the "way society is" hell they even call it "systemic racism" so that way it is something dumb that you name and never understand, hiding away the fact that those 1% are the one creating this system and profiting off it from every poor person and middle class in america. whatever their color.
