FT: Germany calls for more immigrants to fix its shrinking economy (archive.ph)

Even though right-wing politicians decry immigration (because it's a populist viewpoint), they secretly or openly want more. Countries without low immigration will lag economically compared to countries with high immigration such as the US.

This century has been insane, so I think it's important to remember that interest rates, which have risen a lot this year, still aren't really unusual. We've seen rates this high in the 1979s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and only the 2010s were unusual (and it's part of why things are so broken right now)

Frankly, it's a long time coming, but nobody wanted to be the one to take the punch bowl away until the first kid got alcohol poisoning.
