Hi, I’m from Poland, and I recently read in the US National Security Strategy about Europe’s supposed “civilizational erasure.”
So I’d like to tell you a bit about European civilization.
🇪🇺We have a more modest GDP, yet we still run a trade surplus with the United States, employ 2.5 times more industrial workers, have a higher export share in GDP, and maintain lower income inequality.
🇪🇺We don’t have a heavily privatized healthcare system, yet our life expectancy at birth is about three years higher, and infant mortality is nearly half that of the US.
🇪🇺We don’t have universal and unconditional access to firearms, yet European cities are far safer: we have clearly lower rates of homicide, violent crime, and car theft.
🇪🇺We don’t design our entire spatial order around a single mode of transport; instead, we build transport systems with a strong role for public transit, including rail.
🇪🇺We don’t have tech giants pumping up stock-market valuations, but we do equip ordinary workers with things like paid monthly vacations, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, and contracts that prevent sudden dismissal.
So let’s ask ourselves:
which of these things truly reflects the kind of civilization we want to pursue?
PS
In the photo I’m sitting and waiting for some delicious food, did I mention that Europe is superior in this as well, because we have regulations that limit the use of harmful food additives?
The fact that ex-Warsaw Pact countries continue to vote for Russian-friendly, populist clowns, while their countries were not so long ago bulldozed by Soviet tanks, is beyond comprehension.
Wow, airplanes at night with their anti-collision lights and landing lights on! Near an airport?! I never! These are people posting these, not 'government' sources showing the 'drones.' Until the Danish gov't releases their documentation, this is just the same mis-identification like in NJ and other locations. People need to get out more! LOL I see these over my house EVERY DAY under the landing path for a major airport.
Când știi că Guvernul lui Bolojan își face treaba?
Când PSD amenință că pleacă, trolii auristo-georgiști îi denigrează în cel mai imbecil mod posibil pe cei din USR și pe Bolojan, iar AUR rage că „guvernul sorosist” ne sărăcește pentru Ucraina și Moldova.
Ticăloșii eterni din PSD pregătesc debarcarea lui Bolojan. Cum liderii PNL din teritoriu oricum nu-l suportă că le strică apele prin concedieri în admin.publică, zilele premierului par numărate. Astfel, România pierde un reformist. Suntem la mâna proștilor, hoților și putorilor.
