EU is in a perpetual state of decline and it seems there are no solutions in sight that would change its path in the next decade.

Everything seems so stagnant and the costs of living are rising while the salaries do not increase whatsoever.

What's worse is that due to its economic decline politicians and leaders try to persuade the populace that a lot of things that we enjoy and contribute to our quality of life are now considered luxury or outright sinful. The same kind of rhetoric that is used to sin tax tobacco, alcohol, gambling is now used on things like:

- car ownership - Air Conditioning - Travel - meat and dairy

Hey, if you find a country that is not ~in decline, let me know.

Also ... where are you getting the "sin tax for travel ownership" rhetoric from? Like, I follow several eu green parties, and anytime one of them starts with something on banning air-trafic, they get shuffles to the fringe.

I actually like the EU, and if you have specific gripes, you probably will be able to find a country that is more pareto-optimal than one you currently reside in.

If you are after money, USA is still the place to be. Just look at levels.fyi

But I think you are looking at it wrong.

If you are vaguely depressed about the current situation, running away will not help you. Figure out what you want to run towards.
