laughing in European
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...
America's issues are fixable are they. Not without civil war they're not, and America would not survive a civil war.
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.

Lmao
When you claim something is a lie, I know it must be the truth.
Thank you for confirmation.
You forgot moon landing
Really, last? For me it'd probably be Antarctica.
Why is that important to literally anything apart from international penis measuring competitions?
