Question: Should young people have to endure more and more crowded conditions,...

And we are currently wiping out the economy (GDP down 35% according to latest estimates, and 2 million extra unemployed) to the detriment of people under 50 (who are mostly not affected by the virus), in order to keep 12 million pensioners and another 1.5 million with a mixture of self-inflicted health issues and those with imperfect health alive. And if we didnt, that would **** the GDP and employment too with those massive consumers of health care resources all dead and the funeral industry not coming even close to anything like that level of contribution to the GDP and employment because its much more short term for the funeral. And then save the lions share of the annual £150 Billion cost of the NHS, PLUS £90 Billion for the state pension, plus a big chunk of the £20 Billion housing benefit too, ... Precisely. We would have barrels of money to spend on education, investment and filling those pesky potholes. No because the massive spending on support for those who can't work or have to work much less during the lockdown has to be paid for somehow. The economy would take off like China's, You just claimed that it wouldnt. because it would have been (long overdue) rebalanced towards working people and their needs. Thats not going to happen either. On 14/04/2020 07:06, Brian Gaff (Sofa) wrote: Yes indeed this is one reason why we are an aging economy, and why pensions are getting hard to get. There are not enough younger people to pay the taxes. Indeed it is also why immigration was seen as a good thing, people from third world countries will have more children due to the infant mortality in their old country. However this sows the seeds of a disfunctional society where every enclave sticks to its own and is afraid of the rest. I'd like to also know whether its lack of sex or that the ability to have children, either cost wise or biologically is the reason for the shortage of children of indigenous people. I'm thinking it is probably both biological and lifestyle related including environmental issues as immigrants seem to be following the same path once here for a while. Brian |
