It’s the same comments on HN as always. They think EU setting up rules is somehow worse than companies breaking them. We see how the US is turning out without pesky EU restrictions :)





The US has 3x higher salaries, larger houses and a much higher quality of life?

I work as a senior engineer in Europe and make barely $4k net per month... and that's considered a "good" salary!


It has higher salaries for privileged people like senior engineers. Try making ends meet in a lower class job.

And you have (almost) free and universal healthcare in Europa, good food available everywhere, drinking water that doesn't poison you, walkable cities, good public transport, somewhat decent police and a functioning legal system. The list goes on. Does this not impact your quality of life? Do you not care about these things?

How can you have a higher quality of life as a society with higher murders, much lower life-expectancy, so many people in jail, in debt, etc.


Touch grass. The US is a big place and is nothing like you seem to think it is.

Europe on the other hand can't even manage to defend itself and relies on the US for their sheer existence.


Can you enlighten me of a state where none of parent's points apply? I'd be glad to be educated.
