It’s the best thing that has happened for the continent as a whole in a long time, and specifically so for some countries. There are issues with it, certainly, but what most people seem to forget is just what it is. The EU is the result of 60 years of treaties, organizations, reconciliations, negotiations, and of trying to bring together the national visions for such a union of over 20 states. It can’t really be compared to anything else that has existed in the world until now. So from that perspective, the EU is quite an achievement.
Of course, here is hoping that the next 60 years will improve it even more and fix most of the issues that people have with it.
It’s such a shame that they don’t directly sell them inside the EU. I’d love to get a Pangolin, but since it’s already somewhat expensive, also having to pay import taxes for it isn’t a very fun concept. I’ll most likely have to reorient towards getting a Tuxedo laptop.
