Dear Fediverse, I've never asked for boosts, but it's time to flood the zone. Put it in your own words if you prefer. Spread it everywhere.

Let's start with the people who migrated from Europe to the Americas from roughly 500 years ago up to now. It will go back several generations and determining to what degree people qualify might get a little messy.

Secondly, you don't need to send your brightest in order to create a massive loss of a tax base.

Again, Romania has been doing some form of austerity since 2008 because of how the EDP dynamics work with a dwindling tax base

The Romanian government pays to raise a kid from diapers to university (healthcare, schooling, school meals), then funds state university for 6 years so that student becomes a doctor. After graduating, the doctor leaves to be a doctor in Germany.

All the effort, money and investment made in the next generation of medics for Romania, squandered, Germany receives a doctor virtually free.

Are you trolling? It's pretty obvious the point I'm making

Why would I argue about immigration, it's clear that immigration is great for the country that receives immigrants, at the expense of the country of origin.

1) show me one country in the world that reliably replaced taxing waged labour with remittances and managed to run a national budget. We can argue semantics about €0, but that's not a genuine conversation, remittances are basically negligible to a national budget.
2) you mention bombs, in the 2010s only one country in the world had a higher rate of emigration than Romania, which is Syria, due to civil war.
3) we live in the EU, and because of the EDP, and loss of tax base, the RO govt is forced to do austerity after austerity, which means that he's, people are put in the position of stay and endure austerity and the breakdown of the state, or leave so they can provide their kids better. Its their decision, but thats like saying it's your decision to hand over your wallet when being robbed at knifepoint

I'm trying to explain to you the inner workings of Romania, charitably, please dont "teach" me about my country, tyvm
