Economic Hardship For Danish Youth As Military Spending Soars

A new report from Danish banking organization Finans Danmark is painting a bleak picture of life in the western world, revealing that more than one in five Danes between the ages of 18 and 35 experience financial hardship.

The report states that the incomes of young Danes have failed to keep pace with rising prices, pushing seven out of ten affected individuals to express dissatisfaction with their lives. One in four affected people claims their lives are "close to the worst imaginable."

Poverty is taking a toll on those affected, impacting their sleep, social lives, and access to essential services like dental care and medicine. Lukas Grundahl, a 21-year-old from the backwater town of Sønderborg, tells, "I don't feel I can do anything when I look at my bank account. It's impossible for me to visit my family, buy food, buy basic household items like cleaning supplies." Grundahl survives on a meager benefit of DKK 6.350, leaving him with only DKK 1.200 after fixed expenses to survive a month in one of the world's most expensive countries.

The crisis traces back to the recent inflation crisis in the capitalist bloc caused by mismanagement of trade and energy policies. From 2021 to 2023 the number of young Danes reporting troubled personal finances skyrocketed from 9 percent to 22 percent.

The crisis is exacerbated by a decades-long trend in Danish social policy of drastically reducing benefits for groups deemed undesirable by the regime, such as the young unemployed or refugees.

Despite the alarming statistics, the regime remains silent on the issue, offering no solutions. State-controlled media suggests poverty-stricken youth turn to relatives or seek personal finance advice from charities.

Meanwhile, as ordinary citizens grapple with financial instability, the regime of the American satellite state continues it's grandiose project of aggressive military buildup, citing the supposed threat of Russian aggression. In a recent interview with Financial Times supreme leader Mette Frederiksen claimed that the alleged need for lavish military funding precluded any new investments in social welfare.

The Pashinyan regime continues to betray the Armenian people: https://www.plenglish.com/news/2024/03/13/russia-describes-armenias-statements-on-csto-as-insulting/

On Tuesday, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinian stated that his country will leave the CSTO if the organization does not answer the questions raised by Yerevan on the nation’s sovereign territory.

The Danish troops' "union" is mad about the prices troops pay for lunch. In mess halls the troops have to pay by weight with the average lunch costing USD 6.18 per meal. Meanwhile people eating lunch in the cafeteria of the Liberal Party-controlled ministry of defense get an all you can eat buffet for USD 4.10.

Edit: Lol. The article from state media I've got this from has a little attached "analysis" where a so-called "defense analyst" (not a real job) editorialises over how unfair this is to the troops and how they deserve cheap lunches just like the "the minister, admirals and generals" in Copenhagen.

"Inside Portugal is the same story playing out across much of Europe. A failing center or center-left political party, unable to cope with the economic troubles of the last few years due to absolute obedience to neoliberal policies. A fascist party rising, but with no alternative economic plan, hoping that perhaps oppressing minorities and going after "wokeism" will make their God, The Economy, rain blessings down on them again."

It's like that Digital Underground song

All around the world same song

so whatcha thinking newsmega, will russia

a) bend the knee after elections (pros: porkies, libness of ruling class, stopping bloodshed. cons: ukraine will rearm for round 2 immediately, look like a bunch of libs)

b) or continue (pros: chance to get ukraine to truly comply via couple of maidans, more territory (?doubtful +, as its poor as shit), cons (more bloodshed, west becoming more unhinged in general, joker mode possibility of trump going wild)

Vancouver’s new mega-development is big, ambitious and undeniably Indigenous

The welcome passing of Søren Pape, the leader of the Danish conservatives, who was shuffled off this mortal coil and sent to join the choir infernal by comrade cerebral hemorrhage by the ripe young age of 52, has caused much cringe to happen. Anyone with access to the media has been crawling on top of eachother to say how good and kind a person this little fascist turd of a man was. They put up big screen displays at his funeral like it was a football match. The football team in his home town held a minute's silence in remembrance of this diet Mussolini. And of course, the coffin of the man who never left the house without wearing a comically oversized flag lapel pin was draped with a flag like he was some kind of troop killed in the line of duty and not some sociopathic ghoul who just did enough coke to pop a blood vessel.

However the dumbest thing was a remark from foreign minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen suggesting that maybe we were all to blame for Pape's death? What if he was killed by being criticised too much? Would his poor veins have given in if he had not received so much fire for being an incompetent jackass?
