And why old people being unable to afford electricity and food is a feature, not a bug.

And why euthenasia is actively promoted.

Would also quickly solve the housing crisis. 🥴

That's enough statisticking for me, today. 😒

Plant potatoes.

Yes, this scenario requires people to die 4 years younger, on average, then they currently do.

That sinking feeling when you realize that this is the official plan.

Here is the "most hopeful" scenario, where we kill off the old people, have a baby boom and import 400k people every year.

Freitag ist Mehlspeisetag. 🥰

Nah, Rohrnudeln. Mit Vanillesoße.

Even with full employment and continued mass migration, the working would be a minority.

In about 5 years, it'll catastrophic. Those big arms sticking out will disappear into retirement, all at once.

Yes, don't forget that Mutterschutz and Elternzeit are considered "employed", so new parents aren't the cause and most mothers are employed.

Also consider that most people retire before 65 and start working after 15.

As far as I know, this is a historical first, for Deutschland. Seemed significant, especially as the dynamic is not the result of a baby boom.

The Great Workforce Flippening.

About 64% of the population in 2022.

Yes, one hour. One hour of work or you are on paid leave of absence.

Which means most residents are not actively working.

https://www.insee.fr/en/metadonnees/definition/c1159#:~:text=A%20person%20in%20employment%20as,a%20certain%20period%20of%20time.

That means 45% of the German population does not work a single hour per week.

Germany now has 84 million residents and 46 million workers. 55% gainfully employed.

Yeah, it's nuts. Especially in comparison to net incomes.

Yeah, especially as the other countries all subsidize the gasoline and ours is loaded up with taxes.

Yeah. We have a bad housing shortage, but it's hard to buy land. Hard to get a permit. Hard to meet the regulations. Hard to get a mortgage. Hard to get the utilities hooked up.

And the resulting building costs so much to pay off that the rent is too expensive for potential renters.

So it just sits there, empty.

People build apartment buildings and then are forbidden to rent them out because a regulation was added that you need 2 parking spaces per unit and they only have 1,75 per unit.

So it just sits there, empty.

He can use his 3-year old €200 Android, like I do, and watch Amethyst freeze up four times per day. 😂

Equal phones for everyone! Equality now!
