    World utopia isn’t coming anytime soon, and until then, the EU is better than most of the world under whatever metrics you want to use.

      It also means there is a disincentive to help bring up the rest of the world because that would reduce the rate of immigration.

        Most of the world is an unfixable cesspit of corruption, authoritarianism, and misery. It’s not possible to bring corrupt dictatorships to EU living standards because the power structures in those countries will hijack any effort to do so, using the funds to further concentrate wealth and power.

        The only way that someone in such countries can hope to improve their life is through immigration.
