It’s Ramadan in Germanistan
I don’t think they can be saved, the German Catholic idiots, they have delved so deeply into masochism.
In the first century, the historian Sallust wrote of the Roman Republic: “Decadence and arrogance are the natural dividends of prosperity.”
These are also Western dividends and Ayaan Hirsi Ali is right when, in her lectio this week named for Russell Kirk, she attacks the “suicidal degeneration of the West”.
They want to make everything collapse, without caring about the avalanche that will inevitably overwhelm them too, she asserted.
Meanwhile in Jolly Old England …

UAE residents who migrated to Canada, US now moving back to Dubai: Experts
The UAE is witnessing a reverse migration trend: More former residents, who relocated to Canada and the US for greener pastures, are returning to the country, industry experts said.
Property developers in Dubai have seen increased investments from such new Canadian and US nationals who used to live in the UAE. They are now buying homes in the emirate to move away from the high taxes, rising cost of living and fewer opportunities in the countries they initially migrated to.

Tenants’ rent should count toward their credit score, the federal government says — but it won’t force the move
The federal government is calling on banks, credit bureaus, landlords and financial technology firms to include rent payments in credit scores in a bid to help Canadians secure better mortgage rates. But officials say they won’t yet enforce the practice, and one critic expects the move will have little impact on affordability.
… It’s a move that David Hulchanski, a housing expert at the University of Toronto, sees as relatively toothless. Along with the voluntary nature of implementation, he noted that credit scores were less pervasive of a barrier to homeownership than the sheer cost of homes today compared with income levels.
