"If you have XXXX children per woman on average and they have a XX years career on average and the productivity per working age person grows by X% a year on average which are all reasonable assumptions that means that the XXXX children of a generation will produce as much as: XXXXXX XXXX = XXXX adults or the equivalent of XXXX human more. So you are growing your economy by XX% (0.34 divided by two) every working generation. Combine that economic growth with a retirement system based on capitalisation of assets during working life and you can get a good retirement for yourself. Note that France"

"Depriving MS of their right to police their own territory is basically the death of the EU as several (most probably) member states would rather leave rather than accept it. Frontex isnt sufficient imo as in this case the migrants are pushed from Belarus into the EU. Dissuasion methods are likely the only real solution since we cant have a border checkpoint with Belarus because were lowkey at war with them"

"The reason of the software failure is partially the success of the other industries combined with the social contract that makes it hard to fire employees. The big industrial conglomerates hired all the software engineering talent and gave them high paying jobs to build and maintain old software for their specific companies. That talent never got fired and thus never had enough time on their hands to create their own companies. And they were all under bosses who were XX to XX years older meaning they never got the opportunity to make strategic decisions. Now the software-as-secondary-system"

"Im not saying its worse Im saying that as an European it absolutely infuriates me at an emotional level when European urban elites talk about XYZ injustice on the other side of the world while our own system is also under massive strain. But it only seemed weird to me in New York but Im not very emotionally invested in America. Aspen is (I presume) so his emotional reaction is normal to me.

"That would be unfortunately not really surprising either. But then again according to Google AI there are around 15000 refugees in Athens. Lets suppose the AI is wrong by a factor XX (huge) thats 150k refugees. Meloni is issuing 500k work visas over the next X years even though she campaigned against migration. The other EU countries will follow in the same path. Once again no conspiracy no evil no supervillain just incentives. But you raise an important point: NGOs have been given way too much impunity and low requirements on transparency. There should be harsh consequences for NGOs engaging"

"If you have XXXX children per woman on average and they have a XX years career on average and the productivity per working age person grows by X% a year on average which are all reasonable assumptions that means that the XXXX children of a generation will produce as much as: XXXXXX XXXX = XXXX adults or the equivalent of XXXX human more. So you are growing your economy by XX% (0.34 divided by two) every working generation. Combine that economic growth with a retirement system based on capitalisation of assets during working life and you can get a good retirement for yourself. Note that France"

"The fun part about New York was the local urban liberals talking about injustice in the world (many of them first/second gen migrants) while I could go down the building we were in and find a man that was white homeless begging for money and overweight at the same time. It felt really weird"

"If this works it will give Trump an enormous popularity boost. Combined with his success at taming illegal migration (yes he succeeded whether we like the method or not) this could be massive to stabilise and restore American city life. Trade and re-industrialisation however"

"Depriving MS of their right to police their own territory is basically the death of the EU as several (most probably) member states would rather leave rather than accept it. Frontex isnt sufficient imo as in this case the migrants are pushed from Belarus into the EU. Dissuasion methods are likely the only real solution since we cant have a border checkpoint with Belarus because were lowkey at war with them"

"The reason of the software failure is partially the success of the other industries combined with the social contract that makes it hard to fire employees. The big industrial conglomerates hired all the software engineering talent and gave them high paying jobs to build and maintain old software for their specific companies. That talent never got fired and thus never had enough time on their hands to create their own companies. And they were all under bosses who were XX to XX years older meaning they never got the opportunity to make strategic decisions. Now the software-as-secondary-system"

"@retrospect_hist This is indeed bad and a misaligned set of incentives. But unless Germany wants to invade those countries to force them to stop migrants diplomacy is the only solution. Or actively work on removing the pull-factor for migrants"

"Yep but there were a few smart moves that could have proven very impactful if there had been any actual follow up. Greece Armenia India countering Wagner in Africa even sending some troops to Ukraine to learn from the war. Alas there never was any actual follow up. The French wanting to do as much as the Americans end up doing nothing fully"

"Im not saying its worse Im saying that as an European it absolutely infuriates me at an emotional level when European urban elites talk about XYZ injustice on the other side of the world while our own system is also under massive strain. But it only seemed weird to me in New York but Im not very emotionally invested in America. Aspen is (I presume) so his emotional reaction is normal to me. You also made a long post in Italian a couple of months back about Melonis migration / work visa policy in which you also were emotional about it (though more in the sense of empathy for the exploited"

"@_2003adrian The problem is that the migrants often come because of Germany (according to the migrants themselves). So Germany generated the strongest pull-factor for migrants towards Europe"

"That would be unfortunately not really surprising either. But then again according to Google AI there are around 15000 refugees in Athens. Lets suppose the AI is wrong by a factor XX (huge) thats 150k refugees. Meloni is issuing 500k work visas over the next X years even though she campaigned against migration. The other EU countries will follow in the same path. Once again no conspiracy no evil no supervillain just incentives. But you raise an important point: NGOs have been given way too much impunity and low requirements on transparency. There should be harsh consequences for NGOs engaging"
