Thread: Russian Politician wants Russia to use the Euro, to "save" it....

deleted my totally offtopic post!

And they don't work... live off the state.... (Where is this craziness going to end..... ?)

As I said - it is a hint to reform social security system, to make it impossible.
In Latvia living off the state is quite difficult - that pregnant girl would probably get only ~100$ per month child support here (+600$ at birth) and nothing more if she does not work. (And you have to work at least for 1 year to get unemployment benefits). So i'm not particularly against immigrants, as they will either work and pay taxes or die of starvation or cold weather.

Following the total economic collapse of EU, for example.

Russian economy also will be hit hard by that event - as most exports are to EU.

But yes - reverse variant is possible too.

I wouldn't want it to be like in Latvia.... people can almost start starving or freezing due to lack of money. And lots of people are forced to simply leave the country.

But the idea that some people are too lazy to work and sit around and get supported by the state (i.e. their fellowing citizens who actually do work..) is just wrong.
And Sweden is not only supporting it's own lazy citizens (of which there are increasingly more)... but also those from other countries who turn up and tell some story about being persecuted. Quite a few of them are even criminal! And in the meantime old people don't get the care they deserve, and the schools and railways are suffering from neglect. I think it's a disgrace. I know there are quite a few immigrants from Eastern Europe in Sweden and I am not talking about them whatsoever, since they are hard working and fit in culturally. I have no objection to such people whatsoever. If they want to come to Sweden most people would be happy to see them because they have a good reputation. But people who can't read and write, or violent people from the Middle East who have absolutely nothing in common culturally.... No thanks! Practically all violent crime in Sweden involves somebody with a foreign background. It's absolutely unbelievable.

people can almost start starving or freezing due to lack of money.

If you are able to work and are not lazy you will not starve here.
If you are disabled or old you can apply for state pension - they are not large, but that's because people could not save anything during soviet times - SU left us with no money.
In normal countries you could save for your pension in some pension fund, or do business, and save the spare cash. But SU was not a normal country, so you could not do any of that - you had to watch your money wasted on bullshit like soviet military, and good life for communist elite.

And lots of people are forced to simply leave the country.

No one is forcing them - borders are open - everyone are free to go wherever they want.

And in the meantime old people don't get the care they deserve, and the schools and railways are suffering from neglect

In Sweden ?

but also those from other countries who turn up and tell some story about being persecuted

Like Latvian Legionnaires who were extradited back to USSR and died in GULAG?
And only after more than 50 years Sweden apologized for that.

Practically all violent crime in Sweden involves somebody with a foreign background.

Russian is "official" language in prisons here
