Part of the devils pact the Socialists in Europe made with the voters after WW2. We will transfer all the burdensome adult issues to the State, you elect, and reelect us to take care of them for you. The result, as Mark Steyn in American Alone observed, is adult children in Europe who are now retiring having never ever had to actually deal with the burdens of Adulthood.
Half my nephew’s friends haven’t even hit adolescence. Most of the time they act like 8 year-olds. They can’t even get the “benefits” of encroaching socialism because they won’t fill out any paperwork for anything ever, apparently forms are complicated and detract from sitting around watching TV time.
