Good. We need a steady reduction of the economic volume.

There is a huge difference between not being allowed to do something, and deciding not to do something.

I don’t have a car (like most people in my town). So not allowing car ownership would be ok?

Maybe 2.1 billion was cheap enough to kill a competitor?

Germany and Italy are filled with monuments regarding their dark past (have never been to France and Spain and only very briefly to Belgium so I can’t judge). I really don’t know what you are talking about.

There are other destinations in Europe. Who needs the UK? I used to go there occasionally, in the past, but if they don’t want visitors anymore… so be it.

Proves their point! He is one of those criminal refugees himself, isn’t he? First hand knowledge.

Free people as in free from exploitation, free from polluted environments, free from unsafe work conditions? Then I’m with you.

Germany (city of Potsdam)

In my (over 1,000 year old) city, blocking several streets with bollards and massively reducing street parking worked just fine so far. As did curbing traffic coming in, with longer “red” phases at traffic lights for cars entering, when sensors detect too many cars in the city.

Exactly. My neighbour went shopping today. I will have to go tomorrow, but why should my goal be to bring home more groceries than her?

The economy is a tool to supply people with stuff. But it’s not a competition. If I have enough food I don’t need more. Enough is good enough for me, regardless if my neighbour bought more. Or less.

How far is the “forseeable” future? It has to be safe for longer than mankind has existed. Since we don’t even know very much about civilisations as recent as the stone age, I don’t trust today’s storage people.
