>Europe is constructed so that it can't win, but can "pick" the winner between scylla and charybdis, pest and cholera.

Europe is constructed so you can take 60 days vacation, work 32 hours a week, get tons of social benefits, can't really lose your job, and retire when you are 65 with a full pension.

Which is excellent. Unless you need to be economically competitive.

>60 days vacation

Not a thing.

>work 32 hours a week

Not a common thing.

>get tons of social benefits

That you pay for in high taxes.

>can't really lose your job

Layoffs happen at the same rate as elsewhere.

>retire when you are 65 with a full pension

Unless the government decides to push back your retirement because it's insolvent.[0]
