This looks like a very good thing, actually!
It means that costs of living, and, hopefully without a very big delay, also the income, are getting closer to one standard level around the EU.
This looks like the gap between “eastern block” and “western European countries” as they were in 1980’s is being bridged.
Only NL worries me here. What the hell is going on over there?!





















But has that been happening more in this time frame than before?
I don’t think that explains what we see on this map, even though what Keskusta is doing to our countryside is horrible indeed!
