But we have a big debt. Health care system is not what it used to be. I think we are living a fiction and this will end up in less than a decade.
We will still be spanish for our spanish things as much as we can but... I am alert of what could be coming.
- huytersd 3y agoI got that feeling in Europe in general. I had no idea how these countries were paying for all the nice things they have. I just assumed it was some long tail consequence of colonialism that keeps bringing in revenue somehow or “money makes money” from the massive wealth transfer during the colonial period. On the flip side, healthcare can bankrupt you with one semi serious illness in the US and there is no work life balance.
- germandiago 3y agoColonialism does not make countries rich. That is amyth with data in hand. It makes a few people very rich but not a country as a whole. In fact they historically brought deficit in many cases. Even if looting happens. I tell you this as a spanish that checked the topic. I do not know about USA lifestyle enough and I know americans work hard. There is no trick here though. Without enough productivity and generated wealth, it is impossible to maintain a system forever. After living for 12 years almost in Vietnam, which is a country more similar to how most countries are wealth-wise and conditions in those countries are harder. I reached the conclusion that spanish demand too good conditions compared to productivity for a lot of jobs. This will eventually make us collapse. Same for some parts of Europe. I agree we all want to live better... but careful with balancing it towards our own personal wishes. Because we could eventually regret it :)
