Governments only want other people money (so called taxes/donations), and, sometimes, be elected.
Thinking that governments can not provide themselves affordable and usually free housing is somehow contradict reality.
You mismatching 70 years of global efforts to destroy communist state that include giving “freedoms” and “foods” to former v4 to the actual freedom. As soon as, for some reason, Poland wont be on trade route with Russia, have no gas and oil from russia, no slave labor from Ukraine, no EU billions of aids for decades, the magic of capitalism became much weaker. An if your “elites” happen to “disagree” with EU on something more than gays and abortions, you will know what is real capitalism. And you have no jews to blame now, so you will blame Russians.
Post-soviet sphere has plenty of examples of former SU-aligned countries that have since pivoted towards EU and have built democratic, free, and prosperous independent states, or are well on their way of building one. Even Ukraine was a recent example of being on such path, if it wasn’t for the malign efforts of, you guessed it, Russia.
No state is perfect, and one can always find this or that to pick at, but most of democratic ones have not unleashed armies of state-employed goons on their own people to keep them from speaking up.
You should work on your boot-licking addiction (and I am telling you that as a Soviet-born russian-speaking citizen of one of the former republics).
Well, in the world of empty houses and homeless people, who cares if some more losers wont get a flat, or pay their whole salary to avoid eviction?
Home and rent prices should go up, and people should work harder and longer to afford luxury of having roof over head.
So no more security , innovation and progress for EU? Everything including encryption usage and data transfer will be decide by old fat bureaucrats. Forgot to add a pop up window about transferring message to different country and your own 1 billion eurofiats to them.
It fun how golden billion’s boomers, after grabbing whole planet wealth and creating a globalised totalitarian system to brainwash its own people and squeeze resources from peripheral nations are now expect less violent and calm future with new kids playing on streets (among 7 usd/hour workers who can only repay out 2 meters of lands they presumablyown.
My life would be a lot different if I had the skills for the google team or any of the FAANG teams.
Nor would I be nerfing ublock if I had the choice, browsers are already nerfed way more than enough, and if it were up to me we would have full pluggable network stacks as extensions, with access to raw sockets, so we had a vague chance at ever having a P2P internet that isn't blockchainified.
