Right now, wherever you are, there are people paid by the USA trying their best to make your life worse in order to
- Align your country’s foreign policy closer to the goals to that of the USA
- Shape your economy so that American corporations can enrich themselves by extracting the maximum value out of your country.
So yeah, there is no escape from America. That’s the whole point of being the global hegemon.
Yeah, do not even for a second entertain the notion that European companies wouldn’t love it if your health insurance were held hostage by your employment like it is in the USA.
The truth of the matter is European quality of life has been coasting on the gains made in the past by the blood and sweat of the unions and the concessions made by the governments to stave off the specter of communism. Billionaires in the US are seeing this slice of wealth and are coming for it via the populist right-wing parties in every country. If anyone can get this fact through the thick skull of anti-immigrant voters, let me know.
