This is the moment for Europe to show that you can do gov and business differently. If they get their s** together and actually present a viable alternative.


They are doing it differently alright.

You're saying a proposed bill which hasn't passed is comparative to recent events in the US or am I reading too much between the lines?


You're saying EU is any different to USA?

Nitpicking, many on your list are not part of the EU : NHS UK, UK Ministry of Defence, NATO, Ukraine, UBS, BP.

Plus, the EU is 27 countries, out of which 5 are listed on their wiki page, with various institutions.


Europe can't do business differently. Or at least it doesn't seem to be able to. China can.


Last I checked millions of europeans are living in a functioning civilization. I've lived in Europe. It is ok.

Don't confuse "GDP not as big as ours" with "totally non-functional."


I didn't say it was totally nonfunctional, I said they can't do business differently than they are currently doing.


China can

Yes, things are different in totalitarian states.


"China can, due to mandatory 996 work hours"


How is it not viable now?


What would you like to see changed in the EU?
