As a European,

It will take a lot more than these, along with plenty of time and pain, to regain the trust of the rest if the world.

Mostly it will require a turn, in behalf of the USA, to a functioning democracy, with checks and balances, a functioning senate and house of representatives, a functioning justice, a functioning administration, a working economy, fair trade and so on.

I m not very optimistic that the USA will do it in my lifetime if ever.

I would like to say, how the tables have turned. But I would wish for any country to have the fate of Greece after the GFC. Whatever the headlines and the numbers may say, Greeks havent recovered financially since 2008.

Working conditions are completely shit, the lowest collective bargaining, worst housing crisis in EU, 6 days weeks, 13 hours of work per day, pension at 67, highest tax burden in the EU, 2and to last in PPP and many more.

I can’t understand why would anyone take Greece as an example to adapt fir their workers

When the glass is broken and trust is gone, it takes a lot if time, if any to heal. Europe should just go for strategic autonomy, in energy, defence, tech, anywhere. Then deal with whomever as equal and not as a subservient. I’m sure Democrats would not object that kind of relationship

Who needs nerds that spend decades of their lives studying their field to actually do science stuff and be data based and driven, when all your questions can be answered by Grok on your X account? You’re fired!

Stay strong and definitely come back! You have this planned right. Trust the science and keep your spirits high. See you soon
