As the economy gets worse, they will enforce worse laws that degrades people's quality of life. For example 2 years ago in France they increased the retirement age by 2 years and demanded that people have to had worked 43 years before they can retire at 64!
The war NATO started with the East is eating them up. This is exactly the economic crisis I have been talking about for at least the past 3 years and a handful of users in this board denied it!
And these are the good days of the crisis...
In France you at least can retire, get a normal pension and live a normal life but in my country, people even in their 70s and sometimes in 80s, work hard every day to earn some money. It's very common for those in their 60s and 70s to work as a taxi driver and to work on constructions or some trades.
Btw I agree with you about the fact that world isn't going in a good direction. Years pass and life is getting harder and to my mind, that's because capitalism doesn't work long-term, it needs some kind of reset because these rich people that get richer ever year, do not care about the people and about employees, they try to get more money from people and to enslave them to force them to work on pennies.
There is a thing that I don't understand about France too. Lots of people from my country, especially those who have some kind of disease, go in France and they get free treatment, including free housing, some money, free doctors, free bloodwork, free surgeries, free caregivers and etc. Why do they do this? Their taxpayers pay so much money and this money gets spend illogically.
