  3. Europe has always had these employment problems.

    Mass migrations of their people to the Americas provided them relieve in the past. But that is not happening, now. There is no demand for immigrants in Brazil, Argentina or Mexico, today.

    The US has not opened its doors to the poor, huddled masses, yearning to breathe free. No, that lamp is no longer lifted.

    The EU has multiple problems, no one wants their human refuse anymore.

      Italy sucks.
      England, too.
      Sweden, no one has looked back.

      Each an empire in their day.
      Fallen on hard times, since their prime.

      Their "Best and Brightest" moved on.
      Leaving the "Average and Dim" behind.

    2. The ones from England, they got to the Americas before US.

      The Swedes and Italians, they came later.
