Is your house haunted ? It looks like a ghost has just punched you in the side of the head <| sep |> You ' re trying to act like you ' re making sense , congratulations . But you want to prevent happy people from having children bc your life is shit . Invent any kind of reasoning you ' d like you have no control and thank Athena never will over the ability of other people to fuck , be happy or not , and be childfree or not . <| sep |> Im pretty sure that since Jill is using this as a donation drive standard political donation laws still apply . No one could give that much in a single donation <| sep |> I ' m with you guys but you disgust me . thx bud <| sep |> In addition to the brain drain where the people most able and willing to leave are often the most desirable ones to keep around , there is an actual sensible reason . A communist , or even socialdemocratic state expends a large amount of money and effort providing for its citizens no child in East Germany was born to a family that could not provide it with food , shelter and education . Unemployment didn ' t exist . There were terrible drawbacks that we all know about , but there were positives too , and they were unsustainable if the most capable people in society leave , having received these benefits without paying for them . That ' s not to say it ' s actually justified , before I get leapt on , but it ' s not so difficult to understand . If I got a great University degree in Germany today for free or essentially free and then just left and used that degree in Australia , then all the money Germany invested in me has been lost , because the benefit is gained by Australia . Even modern Germany would want to reduce that , it is just sensible enough to not build walls to try and accomplish it .
