Why the middle class is failing

[Mtrader]

How much of the population and continent is living this way though in the US, UK and Australia. I'd be willing to wager that a very large amount of Europe hasn't progressed. Its a cultural phenomenon in Europe, people are attached to their outdated attitudes and lifestyles.

The level of your posting can be compared with this:

This is a report about life in the US:

Not really, you can quantify by the amount of people thst can speak the universally-accepted language - English. European economies that have a larger number of English speaking individuals tend to do better. Ones that don't are too closed off from the global economy and have failed to progress and that's why we're seeing these results in Europe.

I picked up on this in my first few weeks in Italy. Trying to find an English speaking Italian in Italy is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

As difficult as finding an American that speaks a second language, not included the economical refugees from Mexico and other countries in the same area that now live in the US.

You're trolling dude. People are giving you valuable information and there's been no appreciation. Well done, you're on ignore.

if it is so good in the US, why are you then in Italy? At least if your profile is not fake.

I'm a dual Italian/Australian national.

I thought you were a realist Mtrader and would agree with my points of view. You don't think English is the universal language? You don't think European countries where at least 50% of the population speak it have fallen behind?

I have problems with people who think that their country is superior to all others. The US, as well as Europe, has good and weak points.

About English. The biggest economy is not the US anymore, it is China. And the gap will grow. In China people speak Chinese, so English is not anymore the language to become succesful. Now it is (already a long time) Chinese. People who do business choose the language that is best for making money. So it was English but it might soon be Chinese. It is just about communication.

About Europe still being in the 18th century. It is funny, because a lot of Americans (who can afford it) buy German cars like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche. Or Italian cars like Ferrari, Lamborghini or Maserati. Why do they like "18th century technology"? At the same time Ford and GM are closing more and more factories in Europe. Why?

A lot of Chinese people speak English and culturally, they're very adaptable.

English is the universal language, I doubt that will change anytime soon. Its not about being better, it's simply the easiest to learn and most spoken language across the world. Two non-English speaking people that don't speak the same language are both better off learning English than one learning the other's native language.

Italy may make nice cars but you can't ignore the economic results which IMO is due to an unwillingness to change and adapt.

Both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish have more native speakers globally by a fair margin. I think as the role of the United States at the only global power will wane, we will see more and more backlash against English being the lingua franca in business and elsewhere.

Thanks for the correction...again. I was referring to most widely spoken "native" and "non-native" language "across the world". Please feel free to do some further research and find another fault in my posts.

Good to see also that from all the posts I've made in this forum not one has been worthy of a like from you. I think it's time to ignore/block you as well.

Opposing viewpoints or intentionally targeted and political? I suspect my time here will also soon expire.
