laughing in European
Lol, the last continent I’d want to move to is Europe.
You have some of the fastest aging societies in the world. Your energy is imported from unstable regions that require the intervention of the US to keep them flowing. None of your nations have the ability to project power at scale. Some of your largest companies like BASF are shuttering entire divisions in Europe because they are no longer competitive. The IT start up environment in Europe is a joke.
But please tell me more about MAGA, healthcare, school shootings, expensive college tuition and how big our trucks are.
Laughs in paid sick leave, parental leave and other employment rights instead then?
And food standards.
And free healthcare.
You pointing out some of the worst thing about the US does not prevent us to bring it up or invalidate the argument.
Because we are right in doing so...
Correct, but compared to the deep seated systemic issues that Europe has, ours are pretty fixable.
You can’t de-age a population and you can’t fix your energy dependence overnight.
I have plenty of fight for the both of them.
America's issues are fixable are they. Not without civil war they're not, and America would not survive a civil war.
People fetishize civil war but it would take much more than those issues to cause one. You aren’t going to massacre the neighbors because your insurance premiums were to high this year. They are very solvable.
Every 50 years or so we shuffle around the groups that make up the parties. In the 60s and 70s it happened with the southern Democrats moving to become Republicans. In the early 1900s and 1910s it was Republicans breaking up and moving to independent parties.
Trump and social media are the primary issues with politics today. I think Trump will be the nominee but he will loose, there just isn’t enough support from moderates for him. Social Media is something the entire free world is grappling with.
Europe has fast ageing societies because our people live long and prosperous lives.
The only reason we get energy from unstable regions is because the US makes them unstable for their own profit.
The EU has been projecting power towards plenty of international companies to force them to do whatever we deem necessary, all in favour of the consumer. And they are abiding, because of the EU's power.
The EU is proof the world does not need big companies. So I don't know why you are licking their boots as if they were a good thing. We need less big companies, not more.
In the EU you need a coherent start up plan before you are let loose on the market. None of this fuelled by hopes and dreams. Our start ups may be fewer, but they are more robust.
And I will tell you more about how you have an entire political party about to elect a dictator. How your elite have brainwashed tons of you into thinking you don't need to be healthy or have the power of a union. How school shootings are normalised and how bad you guys don't want educated people. But sure, keep destroying the planet. It is not like we all live there.
People living long & prosperous lives and having a young & growing population are not mutually exclusive. You can do both.
Yeah the US made Russia unstable...you're just making things up and I'm an idiot for even replying to you.

Man, you must be hitting some of that premium copium that tankies love so much. Every sentence in that post is a lie.
Lmao
When you claim something is a lie, I know it must be the truth.
Thank you for confirmation.
If it makes you feel better keep telling yourself that.
You forgot moon landing
Really, last? For me it'd probably be Antarctica.
Good point, second to last. (Though I would like to visit Antarctica)
Why is that important to literally anything apart from international penis measuring competitions?
