The fruits of globalism

The fruits of globalism. By Michael A. Arouet.

Dear Germans, I have some bad news for you.

You do not have enough children to pay for your pensions and healthcare, and one third of those you do have are on a straight path to permanent welfare.

Good luck with your future.

And:

Wow, this chart is simply unreal.

Did Canada join the European Union, or did it decide to deindustrialize on its own?

But net-zero! Canadians voted enthusiastically for it.

More:

Wow, it’s quite an achievement for Canada to have had even lower growth than Germany during the last decade.

Germany has done almost everything humanly possible to ruin its economy. How has Canada been able to beat that?

Germany and Australia are probably the two countries that have most enthusiastically embraced net-zero (Canada is not far behind). Australia has had shrinking per-capita GDP for several years, but scores positive GDP growth because we have easily the highest legal immigration rate of any western nation.

Bonus:

I will never understand left-green politicians who seriously assume that they are somehow smarter than the free market.

Why do they do that?

Speaking of Germany and socialists:

Just out of curiosity, why does Volkswagen never share a founder picture?

A reader adds:

We talk about “them” doing this to western countries, wrecking them socially/culturally and economically, especially over the last 20 to 30 years.

But enough of the voters voted for it; on one hand, they’ve believed the BS about global warming and failed to understand it was a trick to control and extract wealth from them, and, on the other hand, “refugees welcome” and suicidal empathy.

“They” have done what they’ve done because they were in a position to do so. For example, look at the disaster now unfolding in Spain: Sanchez didn’t seize power in a coup, he’s there because enough people voted for him and his fellow travelers.
