Nope mate. Looking at my purchasing power compared to the USA guys I knew now and in 2017. Not in my favor. EU economy is grossly mismanaged. Our standards of living have been flat for the last 18 years since the financial crisis.

In 2008 EU had more people, more money and bigger economy than US, with proper policies we could be in a place where we could bitch slap both Trump and Putin. And not left to wonder whose dick we have to suck deeper to get some gas.
