You look at some statistics on the internet and you can tell what it's like to be living in Ireland ( for example ) post gfc and think you know how bad it is there ?
Have you been there or bothered to talk to the thousands of Irish tradies that had to leave Ireland to find work ? Many of them came to Australia . And then of course there's cities like Detroit .
All this knowledge from a computer screen . I think you're starting to believe your own propaganda .
