Funny that the equivalent of the American president isn’t elected by the people.

In some ways she has even more power! Imagine if Congress couldn’t draft laws. Crazy.

It is a mystery to me how Europe operates.

From the outside, it feels like some "tacit trade" where poor Eastern European nations provide the labor, the rich western countries send "funds" back to them, and it all works until there is an imbalance between the rich and the poor.

The EU president is not even remotely comparable to the US president.
Americans confidently making ignorant statements on things they don’t know anything about? Unheard of.
