A Human Wave

The migrant crisis in Europe is intriguing. The news stories are all focused on the scale of the human catastrophe; people fleeing and children drowning.

It's surprising that the Europeans are rather tolerant of all of this. You'd think that such a large number of people moving about through the continent would be a huge cause for concern but perhaps the use of force would look bad on TV. Nobody is talking of the consequences. It's naive to think that an event like this won't have grave socio-economic consequences in the future. 

Europe can commit suicide if it wants but it will be very interesting to watch it all unfold.
