Se a empresa continuar a operar e a operar em Portugal há um benefício estratégico e a médio prazo fiscal para o estado. Isto não são simples contas de mercearia.

It's not just Americans. Can't we find a European source that describes this is in a complete and EU POV?

Wages in general are much better in the US. But then expenses also tend to be higher, not only health, even the tipping gets crazy expensive. But in the end it's very personal, what makes you happy? Is it money? Being close to family? Being in your own country? For most people the move would be too troublesome to be worth it, I guess.

That depends a lot of the country. In some EU countries is rather easy and cheap.

So it was a bad idea to invest in a terrorist oligarchy? Who could have guessed!? I hope the states will help those poor investors.. not.

The motivation might be different but the result is the same, facilitating the Russian regime financial moves.

True, but neverthless.. and it's more popular among younger generations.

I don't think they need to do it, the ECB or the Commission or EUCO never showed any sign of trying to force their legal obligation to join, so doing nothing is enough not to join. But in any case the weakness is becoming perennial and that's problematic for Sweden.

These figures come from the latest Eurobarometer, which the Commission presented to the Fediverse like this.

But what else is there? The riots are violent by nature, these are not peaceful demonstrations. And incidents like this show how violence goes in the worst directions. That these riots spread to Brussels is even more absurd.

I'm all for people protesting and defending an political position, violence might even be excused or justified. But this "spontaneous" riots, this n'importe quoi violence is a disaster, there's no agenda, no strategy, no nothing and in the end Le Pen will be the one pocketing gains from this. This is really a disaster and police violence will only more likely increase.

PS: In Metz a library was burnt down to the ground, these are very stupid levels of violence.

It's more about Ukraine and the Balkans. Not an easy task, the EU needs urgent reforms before further enlargements, any new enlargement will only make any reform more difficult to reach.

It's not a good look to the EU either to have such a clear Russian Trojan horse among us, there are tools that could be used to cut his wings and are not yet being used out of fear. I fear we're not using them, opening room for many more Orbans in a near future.
