The population of the EU is 741.4 million, the area is 1,707,642 sq miles. There are quite a few things that are prevalent in the EU, and are nonexistent in the US (public healthcare and higher education, for starters; throw public transportation into the mix, and have a party).

Don't pretend the EU is Norway.

I'm not sure if that's what they meant, but regardless. Remember that there are plenty of places in the EU where things aren't going particular well.

I also remember online lots of grandstanding about the US's questionable policies around imigrants as compared to Europe. I haven't really heard them in a bit.

Norway isn't even in the EU.
