At a table of about 22 people, we were:
- 5 people working in the private sector
- 4 retired people
- 6 civil servants
- 2 young people without jobs
- 5 children
Obviously, ours is not representative, but it gives you food for thought.

Spain undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of it. Everyone will be a civil servant or retired, but I don't know where they're going to get the money from, because they already take more than 70% of what I earn when I add up all the taxes.
The reality is that 37% of the population supports the rest, and this percentage is decreasing every year.

Redistributive systems last until some
kind of economic call hits and the numbers of those who are willing to publicly act as it's still fine is close to zero.
Then Overtone window changes and suddenly we can acknowledge economic reality and change course even in one day. It will happen, I'm sure. 20th century communist states took decades to unwind, but now Internet speech speeds it up, and - maybe I'm delusional - EU fighting with free speech will only speed the collapse down. The heavier the hand, the higher the velocity.
The future is black. 😅
in Germany it is around 20% of the working people who are financing the rest of the population (read: imigrants, politicians, public servants, non-working people, etc.) 🤑
o esto pega un giro de 180°, que lo dudo, o vendo todo y pongo pies en polvorosa en un par de años.
