Well, at least they can stave off economic collapse a little longer with that kind of money.

They do, but this also helps to perpetuate the EU. The faster the EU burns the better. Then again, if they do bring Google down with them than that's good I guess.

4.3 billion euros hurts Google a lot more than it does the EU. At least the EUSSR is going after something we mutually hate. The Jews are turning on each other as their power erodes.

Yes it is a shame that this ruling will inject some cash fuel into the EU keeping it going for a while longer. Let's just hope it don't last that long given how little control EU has over its spending.

That they should. Sadly it is even worse. The reason it isn't declining even more is because of immigration and immigrants breeding.

The retirement boom is also the reason Merkel and other are so keen on getting immigrants. They want them to cover the retirement costs. But in turn this will, when these immigrants gets old, lead to an even bigger retirement cost the state has to cover. In addition these immigrants will move back to their home country when they retire because the money will be worth more there and thus they will contribute nothing to society but only end up as a huge drain. Also not counting the fact that a big chunk of the immigrants end up as a drain before they retire too.

Yep.

The Islamic/Europe cycle is an interesting one. MA suggests Islam will have a set back in 2021 then a meteoric rise for 100 years.

White people are enslaved through crippling debt. Their whole lives, they are told they are sinful and evil, and they could never afford a child anyway.
Meanwhile, niggers are given excessive free money and encouraged to enter the country and outbreed its native population, while taking jobs from its native population.

> they are told they are sinful and evil
I have been wondering if Christian "turn the other cheek" makes Europe/Westerners too generous. And the West keeps giving too much, until the strain causes a snap.

So true, so true.
Women are also told that they are hurting other women if they choose to be a "stay at home mom" raising children and teaching them good morals.
