Woke up handsome again... this is getting ridiculous 😎
The perception of corruption depends on the wealth of a nation. In richer countries there is no less corruption, it's just that people worry about it less because they live better.

Youth is vastly overrated, but what it is terribly important for is finding a life partner.
The story that you should first experience everything and be "free", first "invest in yourself" and then everything else, is the most failed advice in the history of mankind.
People who "invest in themselves" and then look for a partner for the rest of their lives in their forties have almost no chance because they are looking for someone who has to fit into an already formed system of values and lifestyle. The phase of mutual growth has been skipped, so the chance for the success of such a relationship is much smaller. I don't think it needs to be said that biology is also less of an ally at these ages.
My wife is everything to me and I can't (nor do I want to) imagine my life without her. We have changed each other in so many ways that we are not even aware of most of it.
If heaven hadn't brought us together in our mid twenties and if I had continued to develop in my own direction and she in hers, given our initial differences, we probably wouldn't have ended up together today and achieved everything we have.
So, youth is only good for finding a life partner because the criteria are not particularly high. 😀 So my wife agreed to me, and the rest is history. 😀

And why are you back home?
Russophrenia
A condition where the sufferer believes that Russia is simultaneously about to collapse, and also take over the world.

The ease with which European leaders unanimously decide to create new megalomaniac funds is deeply worrying because it shows us how popular inflationary policies are. We need to consider what is wrong with the electoral system and the electorate that such irresponsible financial policies go unpunished and without any vocal resistance.
If cuts were made to state budgets to replace the money needed for defense, society would not be poorer. A part of the population would be affected, at least briefly, but the overall wealth of the people would not decrease as a result. Inflation, on the other hand, will impoverish entire nations, entire societies, and a poorer Europe will not be stronger. This is counterproductive for defense, and especially for any increase in the continent's security in the future....

I've wondered for a long time why I dislike Zelensky so much and why I've had a very negative feeling about him from the start. My female intuition has almost never been wrong, and it has always whispered to me: this guy is a terrible con man.
Now, I have to admit that I have no evidence, let alone real arguments, to support the thesis that Zelensky is a bad guy. He is at the head of a country that's under attack and is doing everything he can to get as much help as possible from the rest of the world in order to survive. And he is doing very well, or at least he was doing well until Donald Trump appeared (whom my female intuition also told me was a bad guy, but I don't need to explain that in detail).
After what happened recently in the White House, it became clear to me - he embodies everything that feminists love. He likes to provoke, do shit, and portray himself as some poor victim. Realistically, a man travels the world, doesn't know how to speak or behave politely, but manages to get money everywhere. It's no wonder he's become an idol of feminism.
And now I understand why I didn't like him in the first place.

Nobody has the balls to talk about the fact that the three people that have destroyed Europe are 3 women.
And not three men.
Just saying...
Definitely! Trump was against Nord Stream 2 but something has changed. What exactly is the USA's interest in opening a gas pipeline that Europe doesn't seem to want, but wants more expensive LNG gas from the USA? I don't have any logical explanation for the inexplicable, especially since Trump is a pragmatist who looks exclusively at the interests of the US.
Madness. The US and Russia are negotiating to get Nord Stream 2 operational. Germany is reportedly opposed, wanting to continue buying much more expensive American gas... 🤔
It's no wonder that Zelensky fled back into Trump's arms after the Europeans' offers.
"German government circles say that rumors of a deal between Trump and Putin on European gas supplies have been known for some time. It's a "realistic scenario," they say. An intensive investigation is currently underway to determine what levers Germany has at its disposal to prevent the return of Nord Stream 2." 🤡

Inflation does not come by itself. This new money comes exclusively from the government. The government creates inflation if it spends more than it collects through taxation.
Price increases are just a consequence. Once they start, they can no longer be avoided. The money that the government has overspent has to be collected somehow. Inflation is like a tax on the government's irresponsible fiscal policy, except that everyone pays it, and the poor and middle class are the most affected, since they spend most of their income on food and other daily necessities.
Treating inflation is very painful. The government can drastically reduce its spending, but that means someone will be hit hard. If a significant part of the economy depends on government aid or spending, then a recession will occur. If the government cuts social programs, the unemployed, retirees, and other welfare recipients will be affected. If the government cuts bureaucracy and the public sector, people who have been laid off from the public sector will be affected. Whichever way you look at it, treating inflation properly and effectively is painful and can easily send the country into recession.
Few governments will resort to such methods at all, even though they alone could reduce or suppress inflation. Most will resort to populist tricks such as price freezes. This may only affect the official inflation rate in the short term, but it can also lead to even bigger problems such as shortages and store closures. At best, if the list of products with frozen prices is not too long, it will only prolong the process.
It is much more painless to prevent inflation before it occurs. So there is prevention, and it should be a law, perhaps even a constitutional institution to protect citizens from irresponsible government fiscal policy. Germany has something like that, although it is now going to spoil it. But it is essentially a great thing - to constitutionally limit public spending by the state and local governments, i.e. at all levels, and thus prevent greedy politicians, when they come to power, from harming their citizens.
The first step in prevention should certainly be civic awareness. Citizens should first understand how inflation occurs and where it comes from. Then they should ask every politician in power to act responsibly with the public money at their disposal. And so that it does not remain in words, enter it into the Constitution, pass a law that expressly limits the spending of public money within realistic frameworks and punishes those responsible in power if they violate it.
Because otherwise we will have inflation every now and then, since no one thinks about inflation while everything is functioning normally and prices are not rising. Only when prices start to rise seriously, so much so that the average consumer can notice it, do people start to worry about it, but by then it is already too late.
Just as we need to exercise enough and eat properly while we are healthy precisely to prevent the onset of disease, so we should also ask politicians in power to behave responsibly with public money when there are no visible problems in the economy.
