The story of Europe’s economic decline while US is 'soaring' is everywhere.

But it is wrong. It is a myth.

Europe delivers more leisure, longer life expectancy, less inequality than the US.

Gabriel Zucman dismantles the myths.

Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe
There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

Company provides address false address but still incorporated.

Companies fuelling and profiteering from death, atrocities.

UK zeal for deregulation encourages murderous companies.

Danish intelligence accuses US of using economic power to ‘assert its will’ over allies.

Danes have it right. The US is not a reliable ally. It is using tariffs & military threats to secure dominance.

Europe needs closer economic & military cooperation.

I would argue that Trump is the greatest threat to our economy, security, and ways of life. It's not immigrants, Muslims, people of color, women, trans people, or LGB people... It's Trump and those who share his warped and detached from reality point of view.
