The Economist: Europe is the free-rider continent

  1. Cry more, America. And keep toiling harder. Maybe the fruits of your labor will end up in pockets other than your richest 10% eventually.

  2. Europeans definitely pay a price so calling them “free-riders” is putting it way too strongly.

    I really don’t understand articles like this, they have to just be click bait or propaganda.

  3. If you want to basically rule the EU and have fucking bases all over the continent you better give them SOME pros out of it, ‘Murica.

    Or else you can always take all your military bases you use to spy on European governments and big corps stealing data’s to advantage your companies away.

  4. Phew, I hadn’t heard this argument for almost 15 minutes, that was close.

    As always, what it doesn’t explain is: if letting the US pull the cart on defence and research is such an unfair and abusive deal, *why does the US keep pulling the cart*? Out of selflessness and the goodness of their heart? Suuure.
