Europe's Economic Decline

europe seems far worse off.. what are the benefits to be reaped?

Europe is extracting less value from its people than the U.S. is right now. Hardly a bad thing

Europe seems to be executing on its terrible ideas just fine

This is hilariously inaccurate and essentially a stereotype perceived from the Reddit front page. Europe is experiencing legions of issues including runaway inflation, a government and social safety net that is rapidly becoming unaffordable, a migrant crisis that is causing their own racial issues that they pretend don’t exist but are causing huge polarization and the rise of right-wing parties, a business climate that has produced essentially zero large companies in decades, and on and on.

As a european, i felt that the article is describing the slavery. It is slavery. Maybe europe is struggling with recession and crisis some parts, but at least they neber stopped giving people what they deserve.

Downvotes without comment are pathetic. Step up and make an argument. It's real, it's happening and Europe needs to wake up.

Europe wants so very much worse in many cases.

Like Europe didn't have issues with democracy and general economy.Regards, an European.

Europeans have a strong ability to cope for their declining standards of life.They’ll mention how about they have great cities/safety/etc but you’ll notice they never say which city/country exactly they’re talking about (as in let’s pretend all of Europe is Switzerland)

The 'outside world' is worse. Europe is aging, it's looking backwards and has very little interest in the future. The left side of the spectrum is stuck in '70s social democracy and believes it can still work despite the demographic collapse (french protests). It is not forward-looking nor has it made a post-boomer vision. The right is stuck in awe of its old glory and tries to revive nationalism (like Mrs Meloni, Brexit, Orban etc etc). People are (rightly) not very excited
