Europe needs to wake up from it's environmental fever dreams and start playing to it's strengths. The capital that is in the EU, fertile farmland and agricultural technologies, and it's location near Africa, where all those resources Europe needs are located and where there is a growing population in need of increased food supply. If Europe were to ditch it's green agenda and focused on consumption based model instead instead of exports model, using exports strictly to feed it's own consumption, we'd be much better off.
But not everything needs to be done, like they do in the US. Take unemployment, for instance. There are people, who want to work, and I do believe them to be vast majority, but companies don't hire them, because they'd need training. Well, make unemployment benefits infinite, but conditional on active job hunting, individualized, to cover job hunting expenses and rent/mortgage + basic expenses to maintain a living, and at the end of the year, bill it all to employers. The deal being, "look, you'll either hire them, or you won't either way, you'll pay for them.". That would finally put pressure on companies to hire people and to train them and down the line utilize them!
