Pay more and we become less lazy.

To those downvoting the post; you do realize that makes it less visible, as opposed to expressing your dissatisfaction with the viewpoints being reported on, right? Downvoting these things is like burying your head in the sand.
Possibly quite peaceful but you’re only making it harder for the opinion you’ve just disliked to be seen and criticized.
Instead of burying your head, you should be publicly criticizing and engaging in discussion, and ultimately mailing your local politicians and vocally disagreeing.
Downvotes aren’t actual votes. They’re meaningless, and in a world where media outfits already have a too-large say in what gets reported on, disabling your neighbors ability to see and hear what’s happening is dumb af
During Trump’s last presidency, the tariffs made refrigerators from China much more expensive than the US made ones. The result was that US producers of refrigerators raised their prices to match the Chinese ones. Consumers were forked.
This incompetent euro wench just printed a quarter+ of euros into existence out of thin air during covid, creating an unprecedented wave of inflation – and never got punished for it.
This thief deserves jail.
Ah yes, the daily article about an Incompetent Bureaucrat Who Helped Cause The Situation We’re In telling us how it’s actually our fault, or how we need to do better, or how we need to tighten our belts, etc.
Okay what should be the goal of Europe?
Get the biggest treasure pile possible?
Or get what we need and spend the rest of our time living comfortable happy lives?
Typical for Lagarde to say something like that. She´s never been known as the best president of the ECB.
The only things she seems to say in this article is economy this, simplification that, a better economic union. I´m missing things about a stronger social and political union.
Well fuck you
cut ETS taxes and massive regulation that’s stopping our innovation potential and THEN we can talk about our ,,laziness”
Well, so far, nobody in the comments has read the article 🙂 She doesn’t talk about workers being lazy anywhere.
The title surely drives clicks, but nothing in the article supports that she said that individual europeans are lazy. The only full quote by her seems rather to talk about ‘laziness’ in the political sphere.
>“We have a lot of assets, but we’re shooting ourselves in the foot many times because we don’t complete the work we set out to do,” she said, urging EU leaders to deepen the single market by removing barriers to trade and investment.
Edit: there are two other quotes by her. One about deregulation, and one about risk-taking (that suggests that european citizens are risk-averse, but not lazy). Would be interesting to hear from someone who has seen/read the entire speech.
Edit2: It seems even more insiduous. The politician quoted in the article who uses the word ‘laziness’ is Habeck. But again, not to talk about individual europeans, but rather a political lack of will.
Clickbait title.
It refers to leaders’ laziness regarding reforms such as establishing a Capital Markets Union.
The article is weirdly written. It quotes Lagarde on “laziness”, but there’s no full quote of the context. The only person talking about it explicitly is Habeck:
>The return of Donald Trump “has to make a change,” said Habeck. “If we are saying: ‘Oh well, this [blows] over and [then we go] back to our own laziness… we’re doing it all wrong,” he added.
And we Europeans pride ourselves over Americans on our information comprehension smh…
Unfortunately if you build a system where laziness is rewarded and entrepreneurialism is disincentivised that is what will always happen.
All of Europe needs to start incentivising hard work and entrepreneurship
well compared to americans we are. cant even deny it
We don’t have time to be lazy, we are far too busy issuing regulations and bans.
God forbid we should become successful in international competition.

I hope this “simplification” in the banking system does not lead us to another 2008 crisis, which will probably happen in the USA.
I believe in Europe, even though it’s often hard these days.
I almost got extremely mad and wanted to insult this person, but then i’ve read and she’s blaming the laziness of decision makers, not the european workers, lol.
Yes, she’s right and EU lacks leadership now.
Ridiculous, the EU elites follow nonsensical policies and get outsmarted by the US elites at every turn, and yet they blame the citizens. For their failures. Pathetic.
From the title to the picture, it’s obvious this is rage bait
Right, damn Southern Europeans! 😡
Just kidding, just kidding, please don’t ban me.
Lagarde is going to want to fill up the continent with Indians because they are more hard working than Europeans.
Change the title
Maybe we would be in a better spot if we hadn’t bailed out all of our defective banks and then rewarded their failure with even more power to do the same shit that made them bankrupt in the first place.
Maybe these lazy bastards should stop printing their own private money and roll up their sleeves and start contributing to society instead.
She would.
It’s not laziness it’s a vicious cycle of high taxes, low paying jobs and incredibly greedy investors. And I say this as a small entrepreneur. Europe prioritises profit over growth, and taxes over profits, so there is very little upward mobility for both workers and small businesses. Only the big corporations win.
I’m not even gonna give my click to this article.
Either way based off the title of this post I can go off about many things that can pinpoint at problems that are much more logical than just “the commie europoors are lazy! Freedom Rings!”.
History shows even countries with feudal era level of progress can completely change their planning and become entirely different beasts in a few decades.
I mean she’s not wrong.
We’re too complacent. The wake up call is gonna be painful for us.
Oh come on. Can we please get some politicians that actually understand the issue and know what would actually work to fix growth? This is just such a cop-out.
Political laziness yes.
Do you see now that our oligarchs are the same and following the same plan?
