it's too late.
- beardyw 8mo agoToo late in what context? There have been diverse societies in Europe for thousands of years. To have got so far as a union is not a step backward.
- beardyw 8mo agoThough to correct myself Hitler also had a shot at it in a different way.
- voy707 8mo agoToo late to change the fact that EU is no longer competitive despite historically strong core competencies and no shortage of talented people. Manufacturing? Energy is way too expensive. Tech? Admirable attempts using relatively little financial resources to keep up with the US and China haven't worked out. An issue of scale, not talent. The complex regulatory body and risk-averse politics slows everything down (except the process of creating new regulations) Germany is a prime example of all of the above. Oh, and let's also make our energy supplies dependent on an adversary after shutting down perfectly fine nuclear power plants while fantasizing about a green hydrogen future while operating coal plants into the 2040s. (Also Germany)
