          They’re still liberal and give a lot more to corporations than they do people.

            And yet to us Americans, we see that the EU does a billion times more for its citizens and we wish our country could be half as good about the things the EU does right.

                Actually the Europeans I’ve talked to with a small couple of exceptions very much like their “welfare state” and mainly like America for its entertainment. They do not typically want to live here. I wish I could live in Europe badly

                  I mean I am European :D I wouldn’t wanna trade either. But there are definitely some people here who still believe in an American Dream or like the idea of earning more and spending less on taxes living in the US. Really depends who you ask.

          I’m sure many places that are are still Hell because they aren’t majority white and not fascist enough.

        No wonder, while plenty right wing parties are on the rise here, too, overall people are at least somewhat less removed from actual reality.

      We have a fake economy. All investments, researching and efforts could be decided by state (we/public). Protecting society interests and not “investors” interests is an obligation

      One sensible right doesn’t overweight the never-ending bullshit coming from them.

      And imo this is not a sensible right. To change a battery in phones is easy even now. All you need is heat gun (hairdryer), new battery, phone tape (2$ ali) and 30 mins of your time…

        Compare to how it used to be, removing the battery cover and replacing the battery on the fly. And water resistance with removable batteries has been and can be done. Stop with this nonsense.

        True. Between the private healthcare, abortion rights, school shootings…

        Oh wait, you weren’t talking about the US?
