CR Sanchez@crsanchezxSoy europeo. Hace 16 años, las economías de la UE y EE.UU. estaban prácticamente a la par. Hoy, la economía de EE.UU. es un 50% mayor que la de toda la UE junta. Esta es la cruda realidad detrás de...
SummaryUn europeo analiza cómo la economía estadounidense ha crecido un 50% más que la UE en 16 años, atribuyendo esto a que EE.UU. prioriza la innovación y recompensa el emprendimiento, mientras que Europa sofoca a los empresarios con regulaciones excesivas, impuestos altos y una cultura anti-empresarial que está causando una fuga masiva de talento. El autor argumenta que Europa se está convirtiendo en un museo del pasado en lugar de un constructor del futuro, y advierte que la brecha económica solo se ampliará a menos que el continente cambie drásticamente su enfoque hacia la desregulación y el apoyo al riesgo empresarial.Apr 19, 202621 tweets♥ 12.3K
Dr. Dad, PhD 🔄🔼◀️🔽▶️@GarrettPetersenI decided to do a deep dive to figure out what it would take for European voters to change the law to allow them to deport migrants. For instance, say the voters of Italy wanted to deport Syrian terro...
SummaryEuropean anti-migration advocates face nearly insurmountable legal barriers to deporting migrants due to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which has been interpreted through decades of case law to prohibit deportations that would expose people to harsh conditions. To change this would require either withdrawing from the ECHR entirely (becoming a pariah state) or orchestrating a continent-wide shift in parliaments to elect conservative judges to the ECHR court who would overturn established precedent—a practically impossible political undertaking.Nov 25, 202516 tweets♥ 13.4K
