   There was a book written along these lines a few years ago [1]. We've had an election just here in Australia and there is definitely evidence of the same thing now occurring here. [1] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EE

    I'm currently traveling around Europe. In Spain, Germany and Austria I'm seeing a lot more homeless and beggars since the migrant crisis of the last few years. Germany allowed 1 million to settle so it's not a surprise really

    I think you might be right - I know quite a few people in their 70s who love the mini. They were quite upset 6 months ago when I was telling them it looked like it was going to be discontinued. I guess all those predictions of its death wer
