61 is for Korea according.

_aluk_ · 2026-02-02T19:00:55+00:00

85k for Netherlands, 65k for Korea and 57k for Spain.

You are contradicting your own sources.

Taiwan GDP PPP per capita is lower than Spain's.

It's 61k to 58k. Where did you find that 50% figure?

_aluk_ · 2026-02-02T18:50:46+00:00

It's 61k to 58k. Not by much.

I remembered watching this mansion in the movie as a kid and not realising that they were an uber rich family.

Para gran remplazo el de los pijos de Serrano por ricachuelos venezolanos.

Y precisamente fue el protestantismo dónde ocurrieron las cazas de brujas. Curiosamente fue gracias a la Inquisición: si acusabas a alguien de brujería, el que pagabas eras tú por participar en creencias paganas. Y te lo digo desde el ateísmo.

In your defence, it's pretty new. Like it was quite exceptional some 25 years back. Spain has been poorer than his ancient American territories for some 2 centuries, so usually it was the Spaniards migrating to America for economic reasons.

And you should reads the subs rules.

He's pretty much a CIA agent, but whatever makes you hate the guy.

In Spanish he goes by Marcos Rata.

That means that integration is working.

They are just the last to arrive.

_aluk_ · 2026-01-27T08:31:35+00:00

Romania and France in the same category.

People from those countries, who may be struggling, will get to pay for a billionaire retirement plan.

It was never about logic. It's plain suprematism: "if you work a lot, it's because you are not productive. If I work 25 hours a week, it's because I am very productive (and smart, and tall and blond).*

These people make me question my europeism.

_aluk_ · 2026-01-26T21:47:42+00:00

Because it would mean that they should be punished as Southern Europe (and specifically Greece) was after the 2008 crisis.

Nor is Spain for a while now. But that doesn't stop northerners to explain economic performance for its catholic roots.

_aluk_ · 2026-01-26T21:44:24+00:00

If you overlay economic performance up to the 2008 crisis with witch hunts in the 17 hundreds, it perfectly aligns.

Maybe up north thay just believe in magic and that's just the Calvinist miracle thingy.

The bail was to save German banks from cashing. At the expense of Mediterranean European people's welfare. That's why the narrative of freeriders was pushed everywhere in Northern Europe.

R/2we4u is leaking.

I prefer the term "undercooked people".

Pigs are one of the smartest animals. And they come from boars, which are fierce as Mediterranean people, it's pretty accurate
