My version of the dream is the EU funding a non-profit organization whose _only_ goal, and mandate is to develop and maintain the open web browser like Firefox in a “user. Privacy first” focus.
I is also dream about EU suspending all their “green sustainability” efforts and focus on one thing and do it well. The one thing? Lay new high speed tracks and create a “European Rail” entity that is not merely a composition of national rail organizations. There should be _one_ organization, funded by the EU responsible for high speed tracks between all major cities. Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Frankfurt, Vienna, Zurich, Rome, Prague, Berlin, Warsaw, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm,Helsinki, Oslo - imagine all reachable by high speed train who tickets you could buy from one entity, and runs like clockwork.
- shiroiushi 2y agoThe US has tried that in several metro areas, and it just doesn't work very well, and that's in a federal country where the bickering owners of these state-run companies are all just "states" and not actual (semi-)sovereign nations. The EU needs to stop trying to make confederation work and just become a single country if it wants to be a real world-class economic power with things like a working continental rail system. To do this, they'll probably need to take some harsh measures, such as kicking out some of the members.
