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
