I thought you are from UK

Edit: never mind, I read it wrong the first time

Syndicates are a bit too powerfull here, they're playing the nostalgia card of our prevoius system. Trying to revert back to socialism and people follow them like sheep and if they say there will be riots than I expect a call from the civil defence to be on call. The truth is, they're a money grubbing pseudo labor organisation and if they'd do their jobs, we wouldn't be in this mess where we are today.

Damn it, saturday we are celebrating our 20th independence aniversary and people are running around with Socialist Yugoslavian flags

That just about sums up our government for the last ....ooh soooo many years now. You get used to it eventually until it doesn't really matter what they say or do or what we think of it, 'cause they'll only ignore us anyway.

What I fail to understand is where are all these jobs for the masses going to come from? Old people working longer, young people looking for jobs of their own, and everyone in-between in a declining mass labour market.
They've planned to cut national debt by including raising the state pension age as one means of trying to saving money - I think that all the government has planned for as far as the pension thing is concerned. Perhaps the private sector will step in and solve all our problems, you know, like they did once before...?

The employment level of people over 50 is 50% here... But the government still thinks in this 1950s utopia of full-employment. Everyone is waiting for the labour fairy who magically will make a job wonder.

Seems that the Krauts voted for the same geniuses...
