Looking down on the US is just masking the enormous dysfunction in the EU and many European countries. I have been to some countries outside of Europe. Some were much worse some were much better, but I do not particularly care. So many citi

Believing in growth just means believing that the future will be better than the past. And believing this, is the single thing keeping the entire world running. Germany is currently ruining itself because its stagnating economy means that i

As a European, the commentary felt very biting and accurate. An entire continent defined by being smug about not being the USA. Where not competing is seen as a great virtue and where significant parts of the electorate are actively voting

To be honest, the Megalag video really made it clear what a great product Honey is. It is very explicit about the fact that you, as the consumer, can get extraordinary deals by using the extension. This also makes me think that the whole ca
