Why is it so weak and ineffective?

you don't want to war the country that has produced the qt you have fugged during Erasmus

Interstate bickering and pushback from boomers.

is hungary part of the EU?

yes

Yeah but the eurocrats are mad at Orbán because he keeps winning elections and is decidedly anti-woke

and then the husband (germany) bitch smacks all of them with fiscal leverage and decides for them.

seriously why cant we just end daylight saving time? i dont wannna be at 10 pm and its still bright out side

Ironic how?

Krauts can't do that indefinitely. They managed to bail out Greece because there are not even 11 million Greeks. But if Italy or Spain go down, not even the Germans can bail them out.

We'd love to but we lack the clout, which is why I find Yas Forumstard accusations that "omg germany rules the EU" so retarded.
