27% of Spanish people and 30% of Italian people between the ages of 30 and 34 years old still live with their parents.
Yet most people can't see that the money is broken because their mind can't conceive such a possibility.

This has nothing to do with broken money.
This is their culture.
Go read a book dude.
It would be true if... they were getting married at 21 and living in extended families until their parents pass on. That's the traditional culture. It's not traditional culture to be unemployed from 16-34, living at home and surviving on not even the parents low income, but on the grandparents more generous pension.
So Jandro is correct here.
grandpa paid 17% mortgage
grandson pays 0% π
Voting for the right politician will fix everything! π
We need to fix things ourselves but we do need better politicians.
Politicians will always exist, and what we want is to elect those that will ensure that the government is small and doesnβt play shenanigans with money
Mine was just a flippant remark related to the current political situation in both Spain and Italy where we have elected politicians at each end of the spectrum that hate the population, ruling against their interests.
But you make a similar point I make to die hard libertarians... there's nothing inherently wrong with government if the government is yours. I.e. its small, local, for a homogeneous group, has the group interests at heart, does only what you approve of and where you can outsource decisions to just as you might a close relative. This was literally the form of government that humans lived with for tens of thousands of years and that we evolved with.
