there you go, they finally said it out loud. austerity it is.
“Why isn’t anyone having kids? I specifically requested it.”
Austerity doesn’t even work. It’s deliberate cruelty.
It works for the wealthy. It saves them a lot of money on taxes.
It’s short sighted though.
if you assume that they want what they say
It’s not short sighted for the wealthy. Over the last 40 years, the wealthy have amassed massive amounts of income and wealth. It worked out great for them and the politicians that they purchase.

I agree.
The wealthy do not care about countries or borders. Once a land is pilfered, their wealth makes it relatively easy to find another place to live.
Oh, we’re on the same page then. It’s terrifying.
