It's a bear economy with unpredictable import taxes that may or may not be happening causing everyone to be too scared to spend money. EVERYONE"S struggling
Public services are the devil, and "giving people stuff for free" will make them lazy slobs. Especially when those people go to Libertarian towns and wonder why there's no trash pickup schedule or no firefighters.
Are you also treating your neighborhood like a war zone? Cause if so, I'd say change your attitude first if you want your town to be less crimey. Everything looks like a nail when you're a hammer
Idk how banks work over in the EU, but in the US most banks have in-house financial investors who you can work with specifically for this kind of stuff. There's also separate investment firms who you can work with, some of which provide tools for people who want a closer handle on their own money. Point is I wouldn't recommend doing it alone, at least not without talking to an investment expert first.
Another tip, from the guy I invested with, is don't pull out the first year just cause it was a rocky start, cause markets as a whole are unpredictable and you'll prolly make it back and more within the next 2 years

the president of the US doesn't have as much power as our current one thinks he has. It's just that no one involved in the checks and balances procedure has the balls to stand up to him and say "no," or they don't have the power to do so in a way that would impact anything. And the ones that do decided just before the 2024 election that a sitting president can't be charged with any illegal shit he did as president, so even the ones that CAN say no to him just get brushed off or outright told "fuck you"
I don't live in Europe, but I've heard horror stories about how slippery those streets get in the rain
