  1. It's full circle, the US started out well, doing many of the things that Europe wasn't doing, but then the second world war happened, which was a seismic shift in how Europeans think, basically, they knew that major changes were needed going forward, and even thought the rest of the world benefitted as well, it had a far bigger impact on Europe because of how impactful the second world war was on Europe, basically, it was never going to be business as usually, and governments knew that massive change was going to be demanded from the public. Much of that thinking continues today and it shows in countless things from workers rights, food standards, universal health care, better work, life balance and countless other benefits that Europeans take for granted, much of these benefits have been exported to a lot of countries around the world, but the US is the stand-out country that's missing out on a lot of these benefits. As for Americans moving to Europe in higher numbers, I've been hearing that the numbers have been going up a lot since Trump got into power years ago, it seems it's still rising whiles Biden is in power. If I were to put money on it, I suspect many Americans are starting to open their eyes and are starting to realise that the US isn't the promise land the system wants them to think, which is ironic, because Europe and especially the EU is becoming that, there's a lot more information online that opens up peoples eyes to the differences around the world and I think Europe is benefitting from that. There's also another contrast, if you look at a lot of the core indexes in a lot of areas like quality of life, the US is actually going backwards not forwards whereas EU countries more or less dominant the top 10 spots around the world. What I do also find ironic is how the US and UK puts so much focus on things like how well the economy is doing or unemployment rate is doing, things that have little impact on the average person, quality of life and how well the system looks after its citizen is what I suspect most of us care about and Europe just does it a lot better. What's alarming is that the US seems to be falling further behind other modern countries in a lot of areas that matter, and things seems to be progressively getting worse in the US and chances are, unless things radically change in the US for the better for the lower and middle classes, it's likely the numbers are going to continue to rise on people leaving the US for the EU and that's not a problem for now, but it could become an issue if the numbers keep rising, an issue for both the EU and the US.

  2. Most probably do if they are planning on staying long term and it would benefit them when it comes to integration if they learn the local language, but there's no doubt that English is quickly becoming the language of choice in the EU, probably because if you can speak English, you can more or less communicate throughout any of the EU countries, the free movement of people in the EU is quickly creating a common language, and English is looking like the early favourite.
