>Specifically in this case wage deflation. How? How is this specifically wage deflation? That's a hell of a quantum leap. If anything, wages are much more resistant to downward pressure than goods. (People really don't like g

> The thing is, when you hoard wealth as numbers on a balance sheet rather than spending it, you are actually destroying that wealth. Money which is not in motion is not money. Completely wrong. It is insane to see this kind of basic com

It does sound rhetorical. A more 'honest' approach would be "Is it because it is more socially acceptable for one sex to lead single lives, not so much for the other?" I don't really see why you'd assume that w

Of course; I was answering the user who made a snarky comment using a single handpicked data point. I did not say it was caused by EU regulations, just that Europeans (which include local governments) are in a vicious circle.

No, more like all the countries that aren't Germany. Or do you think it's a breeze seeking a job in France (unemployment ~10%), Italy (unemployment ~13%), Spain (unemployment ~20%), Greece (unemployment ~25%)... There's many

I wonder if Europeans see the vicious circle they are in. Step 1: More job regulations. Step 2: Employees cost more and are harder to get rid of; Businesses less inclined to hire. Step 3: Jobs are hard to get, so employees ask for more secu
