<<<Sorry to come back to it, but I cannot leave it: remember what I wrote
some
time ago about the USA as "the greatest country on earth" [.........]>>>

I'm not quite sure what you mean to imply by this. The fact that certain
people may have periods of time "between jobs," as the saying goes, does not
seem to me to have any great implications about the state of society in a
given country.

Just six minutes before writing the message excerpted above, you wrote
another one which mentioned somewhat similar problems in your own country:

<<<I had an appointment for only four years with the Computer
Science departmant of the Catholic University of Nijmegen, was very happy to
have the job. When the project was finished, I did not find another job
again: too old.......... On the other side: one of my teachers of clarinet
now
is a salesman of cars.>>>

Be careful about painting others with such a broad brush. You might get
some of the black paint on yourself.
