Two of my coworkers have moved their families to Europe.
Europe as a place used to appeal to me because most of the countries have been in economic decline for a while, unlike the US which has more or less started recently.
They're not counting on growth, and they're not expecting everyone to get richer. But they've made it possible, via social democracy, to share things so people can have decent lives without having to fight for it. It looked like they've basically learned how to do more with less.
Of course, now they've elected far right leaders in Sweden, Spain, Italy, Hungary, Poland, Finland, and probably others, so I think (unsurprisingly) I didn't understand the situation there.
It sucks for those countries first and foremost, but it's a side bummer that there's kind of nowhere to go for reasonable living.
