You're free to go there, I'm free to stay where I am.

A group of 22k people that can't compete with foreigners moving into their neighborhood.

I don't think they'll be making a big impact.

We have universal healthcare, social housing, free higher education, free guidance for immigrants, ... All here in Belgium. We're wealthier than Greece by a long shot. We have the ability to build a proper trampoline for people.

The thing is though. They receive that help so that they can get proper jobs/self employment and be more than self sustainable. They can start owning capital.

Which is how we sustain our society.

I know more about socialism than most people. I've been talking to socialists for plenty of years.

I've never heard a single one of them talk properly about economics.

They just want a certain end goal, but have no clue how to get there.

America has a lot of culture, a worldwide dominant one.

The people there likely live good lives. With a median net wealth of 112k usd, which is higher than any region of the same size in the whole world.

In the EU we have a median net wealth of 77k usd. Adjusting purchasing power this somewhat becomes 114k USD.

So we live somewhat similar lives.

Our countries are post industrialisation. Even china is moving away from being industrialised, good, so that they can finally start breathing air again.

Now it's the turn of India and south east Asia. Afterwards it will be Africa.

Until there's no place left to develop. Until no generation is willing to do these industry jobs. Then we will increase our cost of living to having machines and AI do all of that work while we do services.

But god damn. We already have good fucking lives.

This idiot openly and publicly tried to buy the government. He doesn't hide it, he thinks it's the most normal thing. The politicians there don't get paid by taxes, it's quite obvious right? So why would he have to lie about it.

He was wrong, most people need to hear lies.

Everyone either is unaware that US politicians are only paid 1% by taxes or don't know what that means.

Whatever 🤷🏻‍♂️

Autistics often don't see the point of lying

That's pretty weird since I'm located in Belgium. Maybe it's lemm.ee being russian located?

I'm using boost for Lemmy. Maybe that?

Being autistic makes you autistic. I'm autistic so I relate to autistics. He'd pay me.

Your great grandfather lived in a place worse than the house I showed you. Batam in Indonesia is a pretty nice place. Been there, liked it quite a lot.

It's not really housing material that is expensive. It's labour, taxes and the land to build on.

The building land in my and my brother's portfolio is valued at 400k euros. Just a piece of land. Good investment right? Belgium's economy could have gone to utter shit the past few decades and it would be a worthless piece of land.

Can you force us to sell it? Perhaps. It's used as a garden.

Imagine we put an apartment on it and have economic immigrants rent in it. Then randomly these economic immigrants would own the place?

Well, aight. Then I go to Switzerland and go rent a place and own it as well. I don't think it will work out well. Basically it would halt globalisation and migration would no longer be viable.

Which sucks, because nobody here wants to have kids anymore.

You're saying extremist things so you need to think them through.

Aight. Renting is outlawed. You can't speculate on building land anymore. What happens now?

Developments halt because these people have a lower amount of capital. Lower amount of capital means lower economies of scale. Lower quality buildings. Worse for energy usage. Bad usage of space.

Musk, he'd pay me

Great info, Saudi Arabia has 20% of their imports and exports with China, so this news will heavily put china in a good light.

Great info nonetheless.

Why is it when you post a YouTube link, the text beneath it is in russian?

You can have practically free housing. Just buy this for 18500 euros.

Or do you want.. free stuff while also having people invest capital in your area?

I don't think it works that way.

Best we can do is tax your labour and redistribute it.

She gets to tell people her opinions because for some reason you're funny enough to spread it. For free.

Funnily, the best explanation on this thread was just me copy pasting it from le chat mistral.

It simply gave a good explanation of how it works. Why it can't be objective.

It's removed though.

Objectivity is the wrong word then. I seek to know multiple angles all at once.

Nobody on this thread is pro AI, but that's insane. As it's one of the most growing markets. So there's a lot of information lacking here.
