    They can feel things getting harder just as they are working harder.

    So Europe will fight the billionaires who use their surplus money to buy real estate and drive up prices instead of investing in new companies to create more and better paying jobs?

    They can feel the impact of the global crisis. Of the higher cost of living.

    So we will conquer Africa and Asia and force the countries to sell their resources below market value again?

    The war in Ukraine increases our cost of living because we have stopped buying cheap russian gas and oil. We wanted to replace them anyway. We have to build and create to drive down costs, not fight. We will fight to free Ukraine, but that won’t bring down costs.

    Besides, the war in Ukraine allowed us to let friendly forces conquer Syria which stood in the way of building a pipeline to Qatar for even cheaper gas.

    The big threat is Chinese progress which will take all of our high tech jobs when the world chooses their products over ours. Are we going to create or to fight to stay on top?

      At least in Italy, price are high because is impossibily hard to retake a rented house in case of a bad tenant, so people keep houses empty, which add to the fact that in most places there is no more space to build new ones.
