Spain update - Tough to make ends meet in Spain 

Yup true

Begona Gomez or not, their is absolutely no place for them here in Spain. This beautiful country cannot be ravaged by these people. It's difficult for everyone at the moment. Sadly, I have to report my relatives came across a very ugly incident in Málaga with a group of eighty Vox supporters. To be honest the UK cost of living is far higher but the wages are very poor.

Exactly correct.

Muckydonna has Danish blue cheese at €1;50 and it's excellent grilled on toast with the Cheddar cheese too

@@michaeljones3774 superb work there thanks!

1 month for a doctor's appointment is luxury compared to the UK.

Vivo en Terrassa y me quejo ya que tengo que esperar 3 semanas para ver mi médico de cabecera. Me voy a tener que callar. ¿Dónde está la Sanidad de antaño?

@@erikawallace3404 Vivo en Ciudad Real y aquí no hay que esperar nada. Dos o tres días a lo más. El ayer es el presente en ciudades pequeñas, para lo bueno y lo malo.

@@SkepticalTeacher Sin embargo Ayuso quiere poder contratar médicos extracomunitarios que ya están aquí, pero la convalidación de estudios no depende de ella. No creo que Madrid esté peor que el resto de comunidades. A mí me atendió el otro día un venezolano; faltan médicos, así que por qué no ampliar la plantilla con inmigrantes con estudios y de calidad.

@@diegodejuan4825 Lo de la convalidación de estudios es tremendo. No sólo en sanidad. En las universidades, en los centros de investigación también. Por ejemplo, en la práctica es imposible contratar en España a un premio Nobel.

Yes it has

Average in Turkey means ALL of Turkey Try getting a guy to Hoover your pool in Marmaris 50 USD for an hour

@@frederickmuhlbauer9477 Marmaris, Cesme etc. are millionaires and Yachties playgrounds 😀but you're right, inflation has exploded in Turkey, prices are as high or higher than Spain even though half the Turkish population live on a €400 wage. I'd always clean my own pool, why bring some lazy sod to do it 😄

get a second look at minimum wage in both countries

Hi Thomas, it's a shame the dems wouldnt listen to yang. My 2 problems with ubi - how do you control inflation? How do you deal with immigration?

@@charlytaylor1748 Well, immigration is another problem - and one that you always have. Inflation is not a problem unless you print money. Tax the profits, distribute that. Remember that in this scenario it is not the Yang et al UBI - it is "no one CAN work". At same prices, company profits go through the roof - because there is also no human to be paid. This may include tax increases and - well, if you are in the USA maybe control the other spending (which is out of control and THAT causes inflation and debt) - but essentially you have to redistribute via taxation. No inflation created. Note that I am a die-hard capitalist - but I see no way that capitalism works for the majority of people (still great for the company layer) if their work has no value. Capitalism dies when the fundamental trade of labour vs. money disappears. Immigration is really another story - but this will be a world wide issue soon because even low wage can not compete with AI. Maybe tax the companies and split it - 70% to a global pot, 30% to a territorial pot, and the global pot is distributed by headcount. Because you want your people also be able to move where it is nice - because there is no need to be in one place anymore if you do not work anyway. There is a LOT that must be considered, but all this are implementation details, essentially.

No.... The main problem is our elected officials sold out our countries. Regulations are enacted to protect the majority. But, we do not have these controls but in turn we have corporate subsides and or free market capitalism. Emigration is welcomed by cheap labor jobs. Do you want to work in a restaurant?

What controls the Cost of Living? Our elected officials. Who controls our elected officials? We do. Without control, we will be exploited; as we are now.

@@ThomasTomiczek and, basically, I agree that some form of UBI has to be the future
