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

As intense diplomacy to end Russia's war continues, our focus lasts on two priorities: increasing pressure on Moscow and strengthening support for Kyiv.
This means more sanctions, securing financial aid to Ukraine for 2026-27 and cracking down on oil-smuggling ships. (1/2)

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

Potential impact if Europe fail to support Ukraine. The lack of funding and feeling of betrayal might cause the Ukrainian armed forces to collapse. The results would be another 5 - 10M refugees flooding western Europe, a Russia that controls Ukrainian industry and a Russian advance far into the EU.

Europe must have its own tech-infrastructure. It's too dangerous to be dependent on U.S. companies. We need to replace Amazon servers, Google search, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, ChatGPT, Nvidia, What'sApp etc with European versions. Or we might just be destroyed from within by fascist propaganda.

With over 20 million article reads under our belt, we’re very serious about building a grassroots citizen journalism alternative to the billionaire-owned mainstream media.
And we can do it on an absolute shoestring too. That’s the revolutionary beauty of it.
