11·3 months agoI thought the same, Trump might actually be a good thing for Europe in the long run.
Imagine if the US just played nice with Europe for another 30 years, and got us even more dependant on their payment systems and cloud providers, and only then someone like Trump came along.
We’d have our hands completely tied, where as now with some effort we can still dig ourselves out of US dependency

3·6 months agoYea I get that, the same is true where I’m from. Only a lucky few of us have the option to move if we want to, are willing to make the sacrifices and put in the effort.

9·6 months agoSell your car, and buy a plane ticket plus your first months accommodation, that’s what I did. In much of Europe you don’t need a car, where in the US that’s not true.
IDK, look I’m not saying it’s easy at all, moving continents is a very difficult thing trust me I know. Sadly many good things don’t come easy.

9·6 months agoOne thing living in the EU has taught me is how valuable Work Life Balance is. Where I’m from working overtime, being burnt out and not having job security is normal.
You have no idea how nice it is to have 25 days paid leave each year, full job security and basically never having to work overtime.
I would pick that over a 30% higher salary any day of the week. Work to Live, don’t Live to Work.

2·6 months agoIf I could do it from Africa for a better life, I’m sure Americans can do it from a first world country.
It’s definitely not easy leaving everything you ever knew behind to live on a different continent but The Pro’s are Healthcare, Employee Rights, Stability, Safety etc. so it’s so worth it for many.

17·6 months agoMoving from US to EU seems like such an obvious choice. You gain healthcare, employee rights, walk-able cities etc.
EU Made Simple (the creator of the video above) made a video about Immigration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2b5z1FJTs8
I mostly agree with it, if we follow this model it will stop a lot of people moving far-right

You’ll probably het down voted because of the AI = Bad mentality here.
Even though you’ve used it in a useful way to provide a transcript, which if people read instead of watching the video would probably save electricity

If you can drink the tap water and it’s for the ice then you probably don’t need the filters.

Great to see, the more big institutions do this, the easier it becomes for others to follow.
