I get so annoyed by posts like this. People get sick. People get pregnant. Life happens. Unexpected things happen. And what exactly is the alternative? That people should just end up on the street because life didn’t go according to plan? It’s genuinely wild to me that this is even a debate. You can say whatever you want about Europe, and people certainly love to talk about our taxes. But you know what? Our schools are free. Healthcare is free or affordable. Universities are free or heavily subsidized. Childcare is affordable. And if you lose your job or get sick, there’s a system in place to help you get back on your feet. That’s the whole point. We have a social safety net because we understand that life doesn’t always go as planned. And I genuinely believe that having that protection should be a basic human right, not a privilege. Now, if you want to talk about how Europe can make it easier for startups to grow, attract investment, or build successful companies, I’m all for that conversation. There’s plenty we can improve. But please, let’s stop acting like our social welfare system is the problem. It’s one of the things we should be most proud of.
