    Nah, the EU is just “less sellout” than most others. There are terrible things coming from the EU as well. But generally I much prefer living in the EU than pretty much anywhere else.

      Or put another way: While there are bad things coming from the EU, there are actually often also pretty good things coming from it. It’s all relative of course, but I also can’t see another place where I would rather live.

      Notice how I very carefully wrote “not JUST for the benefit of the rich”

      EU is not one sided, it also has a lot of stuff that makes it possible to run a business well, and so it ALSO benefit the rich, but contrary to more corrupt/greedy societies, EU does a lot to also protect consumers and human rights.
