I can empathise with this, but I still believe in an economic union in Europe. The EU is flawed beyond and possible reform, but I feel the alternative of a segmented Europe is even crazier to think about | ||||||||

> I can empathise with this, but I still believe in an economic union in Europe. I believe that EU countries having trading agreements, sharing technology and sharing intel would be good but what we have now as the EU is not that. It has become a single point of failure that is too easily gamed by lobbyists. Before the EU, you needed to have lobbyist in 27 countries to get all of them to agree to something, now you just send them to Brussels and only need to convince 15 countries to agree to something for it to be approved. We basically made the system easier to game. And now we are paying the price. | ||||||||
