Can the EU block American sanctions the same way that China does?
It seems unfair to impose a tax on someone for physical traits they have no control over. I don’t think a pay-as-you-go system is a sustainable way to fund retirements with birth rates being what they are. A shrinking working population can’t keep funding a growing population of pensioners while maintaining liveable tax rates and liveable pensions.
In my opinion an American or Australian style 401k/superannuation scheme is the most feasible solution. Just hope there isn’t a market crash at the beginning of your retirement.
Would you rather have your oil and gas from the US, Russia, or the Middle East? The EU is still reliant on oil and gas at the moment, and Norway is the EU’s most reliable supplier by a mile. You should work hard to become energy independent, but that can’t happen over night.
Does this coincide with their GDP overtaking that of the EU, as well?
Edit: I looked it up. The IMF says that in 2026, the EU has a GDP of $22.52 trillion and China has a GDP of $20.65 trillion. The US has a GDP of $31.82 trillion, for comparison.

Having 1-2% of the votes in the European parliament is not worth giving up complete control over fisheries and monetary policy, in my opinion. They’d probably meddle with how Norway manages its natural resources, too.
Yes, but he still supports increasing energy prices by bombing Iran. What a silly guy.

They’ve outsourced the entire production of that car to a Chinese company. It’s built on a Chinese platform and uses subsidised Chinese supply chains. There is no way that they should be exempt.

They remove people’s citizenship even if it makes them stateless.
They are strong proponents of chat control and baseless mass surveillance in Europe.
The entire country consists of flat farmland, highways, and Copenhagen.
Taxes for private vehicles are incredibly high.
I can think of a lot of countries where I’d rather live, to be honest.
