I lived and worked in both countries and I feel like the UK is in a worse situation than France nowadays.
It's hard to admit for French citizens but the EU significantly props up the French economy and reduces the structural issues of the country.
- sebmellen 2y agoEU meaning… Germany?
- realusername 2y agoEU meaning the rest of the EU, Germany included but everybody else is contributing to the common market
- ta1243 2y agoGermany provides about the same contribution to EU GDP as California and Texas do to the US. The top 8/51 states(+dc) generate 50% of US GDP, the top 3/27 EU generate EU. The bottom half of EU states generate just 9% of EU GDP, but then the bottom half of US states generate 14%
- iLoveOncall 2y agoI have also lived in both and I agree with you. The UK is a lot worse. At least France has some things going for it, healthcare is still good, unemployment benefits are good, etc. The UK has literally nothing to show for.
