   Oh, the EU economy is collapsing? I thought that was common knowledge.

      No? If that’s common knowledge that’s a common lie. It’s not really growing much but there is no collapse occurring. And if you look more specifically at countries some are growing rapidly

         If you don’t grow then you are shrinking as percentage of the worlds economy becoming more and more irrelevant.

            You’re defining collapse in a very unique way here

               If you stagnate economically then you are shrinking. Inflation eats up the purchasing power and you get poorer. In a lot of European countries the purchasing power of the population has been decimated over the last 20 years. Only a few countries in the east are the exception.
