>and we all view others outside of our borders as beneath us I thought the idom was "the grass is (always) greener (on the other side)" Brain drain and mass emigration are a thing in so many places ! In Hungary, this was a factor in Orban being elected to make the country better again for the youth. In Romania, this caused domestic wages to increase, as so many workers were outposted. In France, the political and social climate is so toxic that Québec is seen as the getaway to finally enjoy a simple life. Ukraine is literally at war and being wiped out. I don't think they're having a nice time being smug. UK is having a hungover from 2016 and Brexit. Euros don't like the USA for some reason. But it's pretty much the only country that is seen as beneath us. (With UK maybe) The USA is still an ally, btw. But some trust deserves to be earned back. Especially on social (are we still welcome after Trump? are women and transgenders still humans who have rights ? Is it a crime to kill people who walk suspiciously through the town and don't look like they have a MAGA cap ? Or good policing ?) and economic issues (is the USA still investing in Europe, or is it just FCPA-ing corporations to buy them for cheap and shut them down ?) As a reminder, a former worker from the Ford factory in Blanquefort ran at the previous presidential election, in here. And the law allowing abortion was just turned into a constitutional right, in a rare transpartisan move to avoid the US situation in the future.
