Yup. Make Spain 4th world again 😂

@masterkraft4746 My point was that Spain was broke as >beep< under Franco, before the decision was taken to be more open to tourism (among other reforms).

@masterkraft4746 Most news about Spain here in the anglosphere tends to center around Spain being an economic basket case, though rarely goes into why. Given that Spain & Portugal have long had issues stemming from failure to capitalise on commodities their [former] empires had given them, and a focus more on state projects than private sector enterprise, and that Franco attempted near-total autarky while in power... and that Spain has a history of socialist regimes & big government regimes mismanaging the economy, it certainly seems that the country could do with something like the libertarian chap that recently got elected in Argentina 🤔 . (another country ruined by decades of socialism & left-leaning CINO's)

""Over-Tourism"" Nah mate the Spanish government is just rubbish 😂

^ Rude much? 🙄🥱 . Also nope; you're downplaying both countries economic problems, as well as why Spain economically ended up falling behind many of its contemporaries between the 1500's and its fall from status as a world power in the 1800's... which included losing most of its varied overseas territories. It's also more of a topic discussed throughout the anglosphere, including by historian and economist Thomas Sowell. (good luck trying to defame him 😆🤣) Anyway; Spain was historically a consistent enemy of us Brit's, so naturally we find the reasons why Spain declined very interesting. If Spainish politicians and economists were more introspective as to their nation's past failures and the lessons to be learned from it, the country would be better off for it. (a bit like how us Brit's try to learn in the present day from the socio-economic bad decisions of the 1950's & '60's, that put the economy & industry in the toilet during the '70's)

Agreed. Spain is poor through their own stupidity; they don't deserve our hard earned tax pounds 😌 . Okinawa is nicer anyway, and unlike Spain they drive on the correct side of the road and understand the concept of manners 😌👌

Yet another reason why we voted to Leave. These ungreatful, cash grifting Europeans can stew in their own juice.
