Normal people are not seen. We see what we want to see and that is not poverty but wealth. I saw a video about Luxembourg which is said to be the richest country in Europe. I do not know if it is true because I think of Monaco when I think of rich. Luxembourg rarely stands out within Europe. If the information in the video is true then one in 15 inhabitants is a millionaire. What strikes me is that it is the same everywhere. The actual inhabitants, the ordinary people who were born in the country and built it up are forgotten while money is pumped into what does not fit in with the CO2 policy. It could be that the government of that country does not care. For me this video is one of many and I am not really impressed by the life that the people in this video lead. This is what we have been seeing for years and the only thing I wonder is why the Luxembourg citizen is only now noticing that there are more homeless people. Why suddenly this report from a country that never makes itself heard and is not really present within the EU? When there was only the BeNeLux, Luxembourg was also rarely heard of. I don't think people have to complain here. Free visits to the doctor, dentist, even for the homeless and charity is just as active there as it is here. The rent is high? So what? With us you have to be on a waiting list for 20 years or more before you are eligible to choose from 3 houses and you can only refuse twice. Maybe it is good to realize that it is not great anywhere and that you run a big risk if you emigrate that you will not find a job and end up homeless in the cold. I still find it strange that the story keeps going around that Europe is so great. Assume that no one is waiting for you, that you are an unwanted guest that no one is waiting for, then it can only be better.

I agree that what we want to see is wealth. We forget that, in reality, every country struggles with greater or lesser poverty, and Europe is not a land flowing with milk and honey. The cost of living has risen dramatically over the past few years and, due to EU policies, will continue to rise. This will result in even more homeless people on the streets—not just in Luxembourg.
You mention free medical visits, and yes, you're right, that option exists. But the truth is, you often have to wait months to see a specialist. In the end, you still have to go private and pay for the visit. And dentists? In my country, it’s the most privatized medical specialization. No one goes to free dental appointments. The procedures funded by the state do not allow for the use of modern technologies. Many people believe that going to state-funded dental visits is a waste of time because, at some point during treatment, you will have to see a private dentist anyway.
Housing is a whole different story—completely out of reach. To illustrate, a pair of teachers without children would not be able to save enough money to buy a small apartment in the city. They would be forced to take out a loan from the bank for 20 or 30 years.
Every country has its own problems. If someone decides to emigrate without family here, it can be very difficult for them.

Free doctor's visits or not everywhere you seem to have to wait for months even if you can drop dead any minute. And what to think about doctors not available after 4 pm or during weekend and making an appointment online where you mention what your problem is and what you have to list all the things you tried yourself to cure the sickness? If you can cure yourself why making an appointment at all. It also makes me wonder if the study of a doctor still is a study if every citizen should cure him/herself.
If it comes to making an appointment online I have to add that you should k now when you intend to get ill about 3 months in forward. You want to go to the ER? That's forbidden and it's also not appreciated if you try to call an ambulance.
It might be wise to study natural healing and find the cure in nature.
Great comment.

Pudiera tomar tu historia y crear mil historias paralelas o algo parecido. Imagina que asistimos a cambios de paradigmas que hace diez años parecerían irrisorios. En la era de la des(información) somos la presa. El cazador manipula las masas. Abre diques, vuelve el agua a las montañas. Da premios a los de su tribu, poco importa la gente común (los de abajo). No se necesita saber casi ningún oficio. Todo puede ser alterado, manipulado o vilipendiado. Ya el arte pareciera que solo es cosa de marketing. Usamos la tecnología para crear monstruos de papel.
Por lo que todo se trata del espectáculo. ¿Quiénes pagan? ¿Quiénes asisten en la primera fila? Los posos de petróleo pertenecen antes y después de las guerras de conquista a los mismos traficantes de almas.
Pan y circo, como dijera el César.

I agree that the normal (average) people we have in mind are not those living in poverty. During my life I met many and plenty of times I was shocked about how they lived but also how a part doesn't seemed to care. Today they would be called scammers, a part preferred to live in freedom and others (entire families) were kicked out of their homes although the parents have a job (I always wonder where it went wrong).
The real poor? You will not hear and see them because they rarely search for publicity.
