The average Portuguese has a much lower income than the average black American. The EU income inequality is much higher if you you don't look within countries but across countries. This actually makes the EU more unstable than the US. Poor countries keep threatening they will leave and rich countries feel that poor countries are dragging them down. You don't have this dynamic in the States.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoYou don't have this dynamic in the States. You do, there is a huge disparity between coastal states and the rest of America. You can see that in the political map. This leads to problems like we saw last week.
- enaaem 6y agoProtests are nasty but there is no problem of secession like in the EU. Remember that Britain already left.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoYou could argue that is a useful safety valve (although I think it was a mistake on our part).
- raverbashing 6y ago> The average Portuguese has a much lower income than the average black American. Doubt this. Especially if you consider PPP and their monthly expenses/how much they can save by month.
