  1.  @rossmanngroup  In Belgium, we have a 7% inflation per year on average while the index tops at 2%. Full loan to buy houses are now forbidden and house prices are sky rocketing forcing people to rent. On top of that, Brussels is rolling out a plan to allow people to buy their houses cheaper if the state own them when the die or want to sell it. The state is also changing the cityscape to discourage the use of cars and also offer one year of common transportation if you turn in your license plates. As an example, Brussels is making sidewalks bigger, transforming street in pedestrian only area, removing parking place, limiting number of parking place per company and limiting speed to 30km/h (except for buses). In Namur, they force people to make huge detour by making an almost one way circuit through the city AND they change it every two years so people don't get too used (maximal annoyance thing). Another funny thing is that a lot of people think we vote, but that's a few decades we don't. We go to the voting boot, record our votes and they get counted. But that's consultative. The parties can decide how they group together to have more votes. So, it's not even the party with the biggest number of votes who is in power. These are the parties who "agree" to be together. The last two elections were not convenient for the Party, so they just ignored them and this is how we went without government for years! Then, they magically come into full power as we can't stay without government for too long. They can't let us vote, because people still want to be owners. and for that, too much socialism doesn't help (More redistribution, so higher taxes). Belgian have a brick in the stomach (literal translation of "une brique dans le ventrte" which is a very Belgian thing). I am waiting the next election in hope we will be without government for the third time in a row and that it will be a wake up call for everyone, but that's dreaming in colors!
