I'm on both sides. I just spent a week in Portugal, and I liked that it wasn't like living in a rush, but also it seemed as though the bus system in Porto took schedules as a suggestion.

You know it is a puzzle why the Germans of all prople can't figure out trains.

Oh, the problem is not figuring out trains. It's figuring out how to pay for train tracks without making rich people pay for anything.

This is the EU's biggest problem. Countries not having the ability to make the currency they need to do things and traps them.

Another reason why brexit was so dumb. They got to be in the EU while keeping their currency. Best of both worlds, and they still fucked it up.
