The classic definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Western Europe has for decades put proof to this idea. Massive social spending, increased government regulations, the pursuit of inefficient green policies, a plunging birth rate and a focus on working less and playing more has led to decreased competitiveness in an increasingly competitive world.
The attached pod cast presents a very scary group of facts regarding the future of Western Europe, and this is without bringing up the elephant in the room, immigration, and the lack of assimilation by individuals who view the liberal values of Western Europe as nothing short of blasphemy. Expanding welfare rolls (up to 400,000 new claimants in France alone each year) of individuals with neither the education nor skills to contribute only makes the calls for new EU immigration rules even more urgent.
There are lessons to be learn for the U.S. from Europe, but they unfortunately shall be ignored by those on the radical/Marxist/anarchist Left who inhabit the deep administrative state and who put ideology above science and common sense. Listen to the podcast and then plan your visit to Western Europe while you still may and enjoy those golden days.
