Wasting Time With Alex

Get the hell out of here!

Well, another biased study by collectivist determines that the countries where economic growth and income are the best are at the bottom of the pile while the ones that have the weakest growth and the biggest collectivist burdens are at the top. Don’t take my word for it!

Britain and Ireland have the highest average incomes in Europe but come bottom in terms of quality of life, while Spain and France are at the top of the index, according to a study published Wednesday.

...

Ireland, which like Britain has seen a huge market-driven economic boom over the last decade, is even worse than its bigger neighbour, coming in last in the European Quality of Life Index by U-Switch, a British service comparison website.

Have these people seen what the French or Spanish economies look like? I bet the larger the pool of unemployed parasites sucking at the government’s teat is, the higher the quality of life index that nation gets awarded. After all, not working while collecting good money is the bomb. These are likely the same people that rate life based on such idiotic things as the “availability of healthcare” in these socialist hell holes, while ignoring or deemphasising quality, waiting period, or regulatory restrictions to access. Or they give high marks for the amount of hand outs as important, while completely ignoring how these styfle productivity, while also heavily penalizing productivity and economic quality where the hard work is rewarded. This study is the hight of hypocrisy. It must be really great to have a ton of time off and not enough income to do anything with that time I bet.

The findings come as Britain and Ireland face a sharp economic slowdown fuelled by the global credit crunch, which is also threatening other European countries although they have enjoyed less of a boom in recent years.

Great! Maybe they now can also start handing out massive government handouts and be at the top of the list the next time around! Un-freaking-believable.
