thead #23123 of non-american (europoor, racist brexiter, canada, new zealand, aus, everyother country), crying that "wages are lower than america, tho". "and its because of this specific reason Iam randomly blaming it on lol"

lol europoors still coping by blaming "the welfare state". Nope, you just got owned by the Top Dog (USA). Nerdics (leader of the europens) are dumb, retarded, slow, racist, and zenophobic.

Troll, get off my thread.

Europe's current strategy is more so to protect what it has than to grow.

europes strategy is more to enjoy life than to grow

Yeah, but that strategy isn't sustainable without growth.

they are growing. therefore it is sustainable.

its just americans sacrifice a higher quality of life for even more growth

heard this argument like a million times. Always forgets about malthuisan pressures in poor countries, or fertility crisis in 2nd world (which is notably worse).

europe may become 2nd best but realistically no one else comes close.

Some are growing very slightly and others are stagnant, this is all the while their demographic outlook gets bleaker by the year.

Lots of middle-class Americans life a quality of life comparable with most western Europeans, if not better.

What 'argument'? The article names dozens of factors which all add up to the growing gap between the States and Europe. The article isn't about Europe relative to developing countries.
