yes, you're right. i see a creeping process of young adults living in their parents' homes again and thus strengthening family finances. in future, the basis will be family cohesion and an economy that tends to be jointly managed. of course, the state will try to maintain the ponzi welfare state with the printing press and in this way inflate the thing to destruction.

... But I dont see an answer. Welfare is a clever Social Democratic trap. It's unaffordable but cut back the welfare state and plunge people into poverty? No thanks for most people, and we already have record homelessness etc... Plus no one would get elected on that basis. So, like gov debt, the can will keep getting kicked down the road I guess... Europe (the continent) continues to stagnate...
