Here in Belgium, “living wage” is what we call the stipend basically everyone who has no alternative is entitled to. It’s not quite livable (1200 EUR for someone living alone), but the idea that not even a job would gibe you a living wage seems quite foreign. (We do have issues with there not being much of a financial incentive to work, especially if it also means you’d have to pay for childcare)
it emerged AfD party members had attended meetings with neo-Nazis and other extremists to discuss the mass deportation of migrants, asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin deemed to have failed to integrate.
Not just illegal immigrants, also everyone they don’t like. And in cahoots with self declared nazis.

Economists must think Belgium doesn’t exist. See this document explaining how automatic indexation happens for all Belgians (including those on pensions) without there being a higher inflation than in the other countries: https://www.abvv.be/sites/abvv/files/2023-01/Index_EN final.pdf A lot of it is: we simply get the raise a little quicker and without a fight, and only have to fight for real wage increases. Where in other countries they need to wait for the next wage negotiations and then fight to keep the real wage and hopefully increase it too.

So why isn’t anyone cycling in flat cities? And are improvements only allowed if they fix All The Things?
You don’t see progressives and atheists burning down schools. That is exclusively for the religious and the backwards.
Yep, never heard of a single case of atrocities done by progressive atheists in the name of what they believe in!
That’s how random samples work. A small number like that is enough to get a decent estimate of the entire population. Give ar take a percentage point if three. That is, if the sample is actually random. That’s actually near impossible to guarantee, as people who pick up their phones (or answer their door, or walk in the street and allow folks to ask them a question, or answer a letter) are different from those who don’t.
