    I don’t think enough people noticed the Trump regime’s demands that EU destroy their own healthcare just so theirs could look, well, not better but less terrible by comparison.

    This is not a joke. These people will absolutely do everything they can to rob the few nations on this Earth that manage to take care of their citizens to the point they’re all beholden to the same crime lord family.

      Yeah, do not even for a second entertain the notion that European companies wouldn’t love it if your health insurance were held hostage by your employment like it is in the USA.

      The truth of the matter is European quality of life has been coasting on the gains made in the past by the blood and sweat of the unions and the concessions made by the governments to stave off the specter of communism. Billionaires in the US are seeing this slice of wealth and are coming for it via the populist right-wing parties in every country. If anyone can get this fact through the thick skull of anti-immigrant voters, let me know.

        Yeah I’ve been in a few places around Europe, and it really seems that in Western Europe, labour movements made big gains in like the 1970s and neolib governments have been squandering that ever since, and we are nearing the point where it all turns fash.
