I really hate how we all lived through a whole dark age and three supposed end-of-days before 30. Can't we get a break?

I guess This is my fault team. I wished for 2012 to not be the end. Stupid monkey paw!

    The western economy is a boom and bust cycle, most often driven by US loosening of economic controls. Iโ€™m sure the Chinese property bubble will burst too and then we have to deal with that one too.

    How I long for social democratic, Nordic style government everywhere.

    Nordic retirement funds famously don't invest in shitty companies or housing property... directly. In Nordic countries.

    They do own a sizeable chunk of middleman and own a lot of empty estates as well as renting agencies, e.g. in London UK, Gdansk Poland (and I forgot all other places)
