> Another commenter mentioned this coming off as a weird article. I think it comes off as just plain arrogant. Pointing to Europe that has suffered from the pandemic, and now suffering from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and going "Now the US is doing better than Europe". It's a pretty disgusting attitude to have. As a european, a lot of european „suffering“ was brought by ourselves. Pandemic especially hard on regions that shifted from industry to service to tourism economy. Which, as it turns out, is super fragile. Russian invasion is the result of several european states being buddy-buddy with Russia bankrolling it's war machine even after Georgia and Crimea. Energy crisis is mostly because of stupid anti-nuclear stance. Which is only our own fault. Well, and our corrupt politicians. But it's we the voters who didn't keep them accountable. We're also quickly going down the same neoliberalism drain as US with marketising everything. We're going to loose euro advantages while getting US disadvantages.
