But they have so much diversity. Their economy should be absolutely booming. How is this possible

They still don't understand that you pay for all those so-called "free" services with 50% income tax and 35% property tax. I dare all liberals to go ahead and move to the UK and Europe for a year or two. You'll come running back.

Yah it's not just the lack of AC over there. Their food rations are extremely expensive and pathetically minuscule compared to our food portions here in 'merica (although they have far better quality food it comes in far smaller portions). Gas is extremely expensive over there. Energy overall is very expensive in Europe and the UK (high taxation). No guns, no fun allowed. Speech is heavily restricted, no anger allowed. Housing is just as expensive as in the States, if not more so because apartments tend to be more abundant.

Basically Europeans, their food and culture is great but the corrupted government ruined their country, made everything way too expensive, too regulated, hungry and miserable. Reminds me a lot like Commiefornia to be honest.
