Almost all gains accrue to boomers in Spain. They build no houses, import tons of immigrants, and have had zero productivity growth in 20 years. It's a terrible place to be young.

Could China be lying about its economic growth? This guy thinks so: "China says its economy grew by 4.7% in the first half of 2026. Now let's look at what this growth is based on. • Fixed capital investments: Declined by 7.2% as of the end of August. Compared to the same

The image, titled "China's infrastructure pipeline is drying up," displays a line chart showing year-over-year percent changes in new construction orders from 2004 to H1 2026, with the total civil engineering sector dropping to -4.6% and orders at China's six largest state builders plunging 15.0% in the first half of 2026. This data supports the post's skepticism about China's reported 4.7% economic growth, as the chart visually contradicts official claims by showing sharp declines in fixed capital investments and infrastructure orders—key drivers of China's economy.

これ、めちゃくちゃ分かりやすい構造の差ですよね。 トラック業界は規制緩和で6万社が荷物の奪い合いをして、荷主に価格転嫁もできず、中抜きと買い叩きで全産業平均より2割長く働いて給料は低いという地獄にハマってるわけです。
