why are you so obsessed with europoors? are you from a third world country? when the worldwide recession happens, your country will die off

While we argue which of the EU or the US shitcoin is better, Pajeets are cleaning up their designated streets and China plans for self sufficiency.

He's probably American, which means his country will be the only one left standing. Tough luck anon.
>>50306557
It won't. Feminism is created by men collectively simping for women and one upping each other over who's a greater ally of the sisterhood. It exists in spite of economics until men stop simping for women. Corporations and governments see it as an easy opportunity to expand power and distract men, which is why they are essentially allies of women. So you need to beat both the system and teach men not to simp. And considering the way the average Zoomer acts, can you see the issue?
>>50306558
I hope you seriously believe that so your worldviews get crushed by reality as violently as possible.

Exports will remain at the same price for US consumers. It's the internal market that will suffer when a fucking Toyota Corolla goes from 25K EUR to 50K EUR.

>>50306521
China has self auto destruction, there is no escape from the current bank run and the zero covid rules. CCCP is done for.

A weaker euro makes the exports more competitive. The Nordic states will flourish

Inflation in June 22%
Probably 25% by the end of the summer.
Average monthly salary after taxes about 1200€
60% on rent + utilities (even worse in winter)
30% on food
10% on other bills/basics.
No disposable income.
Have to cut back on eating healthy to buy cheaper shit just to survive.
Havent been able to take a trip anywhere for two years.
At least in the coming winter they will cap electric and natural gas prices.

>>50307997
there is no bank run, kek. it's just a bunch of villagers conned out of their money and the scam artists fled to America. People are protesting the government to bail them out. This is why Anglos keep losing to Xi Jinping's glorious Cathay. You guys don't know shit about your enemy, and the media keeps feeding the populace with big fat china collapse nothing burgers and you starving trannies eat it up like its the only food around. The see see pee will win and all our kids will become insufferable tankie Sinoboos. Underestimating the PRC is undeniably worse than overestimating the USSR.

If Germany is supposedly suiciding I want to what you call Russia's situation.

>>50308337
>little higher
guess you're only eating only fast food garbage, regular produce doubled in price. Food in total might be closer to 20% up. Food quality also went down with people either not buying cause prices went high or delivery trying to cheap out due gas prices. Its harder to buy fresh now.

And outside inflation there were also tax increases as well as mandatory health insurance went up.

Also the next crisis in the making is farmer genocide because they want them to stop using fertilizer for 2023.

>>50308551
No power steering?

>>50308359
we dont use gas here and i only use 1/5 of my income for living. if everything would douple i would still have 3/5 extra income, but we have this union thing that has pay rise each year what considers inflation.

you should know that in eu everything is much cheaper and 150% rise in commodity prices still means most things are much cheaper than in states.

btw i work in field that would pay something like minimum wage in states but my living conditions are similiar to engineer in states or better.

>>50306391

In Russia there's a famous popular saying: "while the rich dry, the poor die".

Quick reminder what is currently going on in gopnikland:

>According to Rosstat, in May 2022, the production of cars in Russia collapsed by 97%, buses - by 77%, diesel locomotives - by 63%, glass - by 61%, washing machines - by 59%, refrigerators - by 58%, freight cars - by 52%, electric motors - by 50%, passenger cars - by 40%, baking equipment and elevators - by 35%, pumps - by 30%.

>"We haven't really started anything yet"

Food in Germany is cheaper than Estonia, but german salaries are 3x.
Some 10 years ago it was cheaper to take a Ryan air flight from Estonia to germany, buy 20kg worth of food from Aldi and fly back and it was still cheaper than to shop here.

>>50308545
>states
retard
nordic countries are in top 10 most developed countries and usa is hardly in the top 50

>>50308814
how and why? Also i would bet $100 that going to germany for food is a retard move because neighbor slavic countries are for certain cheaper.

The USA varies a lot depending on where you are. Europ is getting there too take a trip to Skåne if you don't believe me. Normal white Americans in normal states earn double what Europeans earn, pay less taxes, live in bigger houses, and everything is cheaper except school. Get your degree then gtfo of Europe.

>>50308687
lol I just realized they can't lock us down this winter because we will all freeze to death

>>50309203
First Lidls opened up here, all other chains have been more expensive.
You understand that selling food to 1.3M people has to have a higher mark-up than selling food to 60M people?
https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=Germany&country2=Estonia

Compare these. If you think Aldi and Lidl then many of the stuff sold in Germany is way cheaper by now.

But even your now given link shows food prices in Estonia are cheaper

>>50309286
Only Germany?

>>50309376
> selling food to 1.3M people has to have a higher mark-up than selling food to 60M

lol no, If it worked like that then you would have already a massive gradient between frankfurt and backwater germany.

What actually fucked you up is when you joined eussr your own industry got flattened by eu regulations.

I think it's time for European countries to become sovereign again. Fuck Europe, long live sovereignty.

>>50306391
>AC
unneeded US meme

Btw. I think most Europeans want to go to Canada, but I'd rather want to live in more populated and at the same time non-poor areas

>>50309376
And asides the food even most of the cost of living in EU is rent/real estate prices, not food. Those seem going in lockstep right along with respective wages.

>>50308687
>Debt crisis killing the Club Med, France included
That sweet, sweet inflation will melt those debts like a creamy slice of Brie or Gorgonzola. So will your pension savings of course, but you can't have everything.

These are from a news article that made the experiment back in 2011
Im gona try to post the link/text

>>50309526
What country are you in?

>>50309526
how does that get rid of all the immigrants and inflation

>>50309463
yes there is inflation but half of it comes from increase in housing prices. most other countries dont include home prices in their inflation numbers.

>>50309526
All you need is a Germexit or Frexit. Those two are the ones running the show. Without them the whole edifice will crumble.

>>50309592
again..these are prices from 2011
they have gone up a lot since then.

>>50309612
>All you need is to shoot yourself in the foot, like britbongs did
Yes sure anon, paki chancellor incoming too

>>50309593
The Netherlands.
>>50309598
Pretty sure immigration is a European agenda. Also the inflation is happening because of sanctions (created by the EU).
>>50309612
Why would they stop running a show they are in charge of?

>>50309151
The difference of income between a country like France and the US is actually incredible. The median salary in France is about 24k€ per year, and most people don't even earn that much, the minimum wage is about 14.5k€. Sure, there's mandatory universal healthcare and retirement on top of that (so count an additional 40% of the salary) and without those you could almost double the paycheck. But still, everything seems more expensive here. Cars ? A fucking Toyota Corolla starts at 31k€, not counting additional taxes and registration fees. Housing ? A small house close to a big city costs 400k minimum. Now that there's €/$ parity, it's much easier to realize how poor we actually are. Americans don't realize their luck.

>>50309327
They can still ask for mandatory vaccination.

>>50309526
Amen bro. I hope to live to see that day.

>>50309471
There are maybe some things that are a little bit cheaper in average, but if you consider Aldi and Lidl then Germanys prices are A LOT cheaper. When it comes to things like cheese, wine, fish etc. -

>>50306391
Came here make this exact same thread thanks for doing it for me op kek

>>50309714
>Americans don't realize their luck
And yet, most Europeans don't want to move to burgerland. Ever wondered why?

>>50309709
>Why would they stop running a show they are in charge of?
Maybe because they'll realize they'd be better off without it? Just imagine what multiple years of high inflation will do to the German psyche.

>>50309765
even this pic related shows almost everything cheaper in Estonia other than alcohol

>>50309849
>Just imagine what multiple years of high inflation will do to the German psyche.

Oh no...not again

The question we should be asking is...

>>50309789
>most Europeans don't want to move to burgerland
have you seen the women in burgerland?

>>50309709
>Pretty sure immigration is a European agenda
agreed, but how do you get rid of the ones that are here now?

>>50309789
most people dont want to move anywhere because they are fat and lazy as fuck and opposed to an actual change that might result in an improvement, because it could take some actual work to get shit done until it gets better. so they are complacent in (sub)mediocracy

>>50309891
You dont really understand my point, do you?
Average salary in Germany before tax is like 4120€
in Estonia its 1735€.
Yes - some products ON AVERAGE are 10-30% cheapr per kilo.
The difference in buying power and salary is HUGE.
Inflation in Estonia is 22% right now - highest in EU.
In germany its like 10%
It doesnt matter that my eggs cost 2cents less here per egg
or that milk is 8 cents cheaper when our salaries are almost 3x smaller when prices are the same.

lets not forget that the average western european has a far longer life expactancy than an american

>>50310031
It must be because we're so poor. At least that's what burgers tell themselves before sleep

>>50310031
Google says it's 80.4 (Europe) vs 78.79 (US). But I bet regional variations are high everywhere. Here's the map for Europe. I can't make out a pattern, really. Being closer to the ocean and not being an alcoholic helps, perhaps?

>>50310025

Here's a version for US states (from Wikipedia).

>>50309510
If it wasn't for regs those people would be eating shit out the sewer. If the food is anything like lithuania they need more standards. Fucking awful. I'd fly to germany if i lived in that bog

>>50309714
>Sure, there's mandatory universal healthcare and retirement on top of that
I'm so tired of this cope. If you are above average then this isn't even a good thing. Pensions are a scam nobody under 40 will ever see and universal healthcare costs more than insurance if you earn a good salary and are in good health. I am sick of subsidizing obese shitty poor people. The European system just drags better people down to the average and I want out.
>>50309789
Most people are lazy and worthless they do not even try. Anyone who visits America can plainly see how much wealthier they are. Outside of a few cities houses are still much cheaper than Europe and they enjoy the best of everything. It isn't a perfect society and I'm sure it sucks if you are poor there but I am not a poor person and I frankly don't care about them.
>>50310031
Who fucking cares about the average. I do not give a fuck about how long some nigger in Balitmore lives or some redneck trailer trash in Oklahoma. I am not average and if I was I would certainly be aspiring to be better than the average no matter where I was.

>>50310700
>Anyone who visits America can plainly see how much wealthier they are.
LoL no, I've visited america. Even the upper class live in disgusting cookie cutter suburbs devoid of life and soul. I would unironically KMS before moving to something like that. Nope, life in America is only good if you're really rich, I'm talking 8 figures minimum.

>>50306391

>>50310747
>muh soul
Whatever. If you would rather live in a house a third of the size, get paid half, pay double to import anything, and pay double taxes because it was built 200 years ago instead of 60 and because the so soulful hustle and bustle of some European town is only a 30 minutes drive away instead of 90 then good for you. America has better finanical opportunities and better rural living too. There simply is not wilderness like you can find in America in Europe and neither are there cities.

>>50306416

They're just oblivious to those facts and don't want to learn English. They only see America as the land of obesity and mass shootings. Most of them also can't imagine how to live without big daddy government constantly holding their hands and giving them a false sense of safety.

>>50310898
To be honest I'd trade my concrete house for more freedom and real wilderness. I want to go hunt in the forest for days. I want to be able to shoot random stuff in the desert without some assholes complaining about the noise or whatever safety regulation. I want to have the right to defend myself and my family the way I want. I want less taxes and regulations. I want to live without the fear of mandatory vaccines or whatever climate change bullshit.

The only problem is finding a good enough job to sustain a family of 5. Texas or Florida seem like good candidates, but a little more relief and less heat would be good too.

>>50309526

Yes I was poor as shit. But you're just incompetent. You and your ilk still cling to the "law and order" bullshit instead of utilizing some of that alleged racial intelligence to utterly cheat the system. We're all entering into the "Fuck you it's mine!" era and you still act like a cow.

That is hard in Europe too unless you are a welfare queen. There is nowhere here as free as you can be in America. Sure, if you choose to live in LA or somewhere it is a horrible shithole full of Mexicans and soi but America is massive and there is nowhere in Europe where you can buy a private huge tract of land and just build whatever you want on it while also being a few hours from a town and having all the modern luxuries. Almost all of the problems America has exist in Europe too unless you are a shitty poor person who wants the government to mother you.

I dont eat that much cheese and wine thanks dude. Even funnier will be when Russia actually does cut off the gas entirely and germanys entire aluminum industry collapses overnight while germans freeze. The Euro only survived the greek crisis because germany bailed them out. No germany to bail them out now.

>>50314091
>I give it 2 years from the day Russia cuts the oil.
I give it 2 months but sadly when the gas gets turned back on they wont realize how fast they changed and revert right back and deny it ever happened. Same as they denied it when they all fired women for non essential work and then said we need more women in work force. They know its all dumb but maintain the agenda anyway.
