      don't forget high life expectancy!

      1. petermcneeley · 1789698301 · focus · HN ↗

         Canada

         Breakdown by Gender Women: Average life expectancy is 84.29 years. Men: Average life expectancy is 80.30 years

         EU

         Breakdown by Gender Women: 84.1 years Men: 78.9 years

         If you dont know or understand this perhaps you dont know or understand other things.

            Because you were talking about US companies, the more apt comparison is:

            >EU

            >Breakdown by Gender Women: 84.1 years Men: 78.9 years

            US Life Expectancy by Gender:

            Women: 81.4 years; Men: 75.8 years

            >If you dont know or understand this perhaps you dont know or understand other things.

            Just dropping this here because the irony is thick.

               Something is thick indeed!

               I think your mistake is that you think im American. I am Canadian. So when I look at the EU I ask what is in it for me?

               And from Canada's perspective it is not "high".

               I mean if Canada was joining America this might be relevant (debatable). But look at how kick ass Canada is. We have euro lifestyle while still not being Americans.

               So again, I dont know if you understand this perhaps you dont know or understand other things.
