@ricardosmythe2548 You'll find that both the US and the EU throw up trade barriers whenever they see fit. I don't know which one is worse.

@tomalmow3814 You could've stuffed yourself silly with popcorn already, because this is just more of the same. There's always some kind of trade dispute going on between the US and the EU. I enjoyed the one in particular where Trump tried to slap a 300% tariff on Canadian Bombardier passenger jets. Long story short, Airbus ended up with the hottest selling jet in its category, for which Boeing has no answer, because its JV with Embraer fell through.

@bobespirit2112 In Europe, both employers and their employees contribute to universal healthcare in the form of taxes. Some employers even maintain health clinics of their own, or they pay for supplementary plans offered by the private sector. I don't see any competitive advantage per se compared to the US, except in that healthcare costs are much lower in Europe than in the US. Well, they're cheaper everywhere else.

@Fuego-s8i I wouldn't know about that. We've always pulled our chestnuts out of the fire ourselves. Always paid our debts, too.

@Fuego-s8i Oh dear, you missed the point. Am I every European?
