  1. There is an extraordinary amount of resources on earth. The idea that it can just be exhausted in our grand childrens era is ridiculous. And that by that stage technology will be much more efficient at recycling.

  2. You think Spain is in the economic standing to do that?

  3. Germany used to be Prussia.

  4. An industrialized economy is different from a country just having industry. An industrialized economy is from top to bottom which France did not do. The US was the same it was not from top to bottom. The US was very late to the game.

  5. In the 1960s German fertility rate was at 2.5 which means it is in growth.

  6. The EU does not have the ability to actually federalize.

  7. It is worth having children over all those risks.

  8. That is the problem with Japan it has a central planning approach to its economy. The very thing that caused the problem is the very thing that is trying to fix it.

  9. That is all fantasy. Who is going to consume within the Netherlands and Germany?

  10. Japan has a highly automated industry that had the US as its primary growth market. China and Germany are not going to have that. I think you really misunderstand reality.

  11. Sweden has more people aged 20 to 35 than it does from 45 to 65. That is described as a demographic bulge.

  12. You are talking crap. Frances demographics are down to the people of France. Immigration has no impact on it in any significant way.

  13. Once there is a demographic collapse there will be an economic collapse. Ireland is one of the few examples to have gone through that in the 1800s. Population of Ireland (republic counties) in 1840 was in excess of 5 million and in 1940 was 2.9 million. in 2022 it rose to above 5 million for the first time since 1840s. So once a population decreases there is economic fallout which in turn accelerates that population decline. People assume once fertility drops down to just below 2 it can easily be increased back above it again. A 1.6 is an extraordinarily low figure

  14. US income taxes are lower than Sweden for the vast majority of workers.

  15. Every country in the EU barring Ireland and UK were part of Schengen. In mainland Europe Schengen is layered with the policy of free movement of people.

  16. There are plenty of places in Europe that are full of cheap vacation homes. France is full of them.

  17. Britain is not part of European Mainland hence why he has not really covered it. His focus is on continental Europe.

  18.  @joebonsaipoland  They also allowed Jews to hid their money from the Nazis.

  19. Ireland is really funny one and hard to put in the same groups as other European countries. Ireland was one of the first countries to industrialize after the Britain but it was limited because Ireland went through a population collapse and then sat in the doldrums for several decades post WW1. Ireland post 1980s went through an economic rebuilding but it also is heavily exposed to foreign direct investment. There is also an issue with trying to decipher Ireland demographics due to the large influx of EU migrants.

  20. No the countries will vanish and they will either be part of another country or they will start all over again.

  21. It will not work and is just fantasy.

  22. Russia will still exist with nuclear weapons that will protect it from invasion but who knows what would happen if Russia was to completely collapse Mad Max style.

  23. We are joking right?

  24. The economy is forced to.

  25. Will not help at all.

  26. They are technically not European as they are not part of the continental land mass. The distance between dublin and Munich is 1700 km. That should put things in perspective.

  27. I suppose if you are looking at it from a communist point of view commons sense would not make sense.
