re: #656 Obdicut

That may or may not be true— I’d love to see any figures you have proving that. However, my point is that economic mobility is higher in many countries in Europe than it is in the US, and that should deeply, deeply trouble anyone who loves the American Dream.

In addition, you’re comparing all of the EU— which includes some very poor countries who have economies still recovering from Soviet rule— to the US.

“Economic mobility” in France means that if you’re young - and especially a second or third generation North African - you get the hell out and go to the UK.
