As a European, I wish you were right. Europe hasn't recovered from the austerity policy imposed in the post-2008 crisis. I'm Spanish so I can tell you about my country. Job termination payment was halved and hasn't recovered, firing people became easier and cheaper, stricter laws against protesting were created ("ley mordaza" or gag law) which enabled more police violence and increasingly violent mall-cops, and we're right now suffering the rise of the far right in Europe with Meloni winning in Italy, Marine LePen close to doing so in France, and rising AFD in Germany (many other countries as well).

We're all fucked, buddy.
