as you probably know, most of Europe is turning to shit right now,
What isn’t turning to shit? Outside of China, everyone is having a bad time. Asia is the canary in the coalmine for a population crisis (while still resisting immigration), Canada and Australia have a housing crisis, there’s a general, global economic slowdown.
Relatively speaking, EU aint too bad. And that’s mostly because Trump was so comically bad it made most of the continent do a double take on the whole far right thing (it’s a shame some countries still chose to slip, but it slowed it down).
I do see a light. But I also think we’re in the eye of the storm. It’ll get much much worse, then hopefully better if we make it through that.
Turns out that unchecked monopolies and trillionaires while more and more people are priced out of life (or come out the gate unable to start a career) is bad PR. Who knew?
