It would be nice to narrow your search to a specific country because some EU countries are not welcoming foreigners of specific nationalities. And some others countries are saturated of foreigners (specifically from one or two countries) and there are mixins. But it changes from city to city too.
So even if you get a job in EU, better to check what is your budget. You don't want to live in a neighborhood full of immigrants with their specific "traditions".
Maybe they should have phrased it better - but there are some places in Paris (an example I'm familiar with) a typical tech worker would make for an awkward situation at best and a dangerous one at worst. Especially if the tech worker doesn't present as a monogamous heterosexual.
It happens everywhere. It doesn't mean 50% of the country agrees with their decision. Populists politics use anything in hand to survive, any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth but the suburbs have no charms to soothe the restless dreams of youth.
Actually he did a great job with the Argentina's coach at that time: Carlos Bilardo. He basically revolutionized Soccer and only who really understand tactics knows what he really did.
He played in a time where Soccer was almost amateur. See the criminal fouls to Maradona in the 80's. In comparison Pele was treated like a sweet flower.
I really don’t think you know what you are talking about. Pele played at a time when football was even tougher and harder tackling than in Maradona’s time. The fouling of Pele is what caused yellow/red cards to be introduced.
Even this specific comment of yours was dead. I had to vouch for it to reply to you.

I know most people here like to defend the established ways of doing things. But in an crisis like this we need to go back to first principles and see which steps are really needed and what can be speed up.
a rushed vaccine that has poorly understood side effects like say cancer rate differences or is fatal for people with some other disease is more dangerous than the disease itself. Many more people will end up taking the vaccine than just those having the infection.
If this situation got really bad, what are the chances of this timeline being accelerated? The US has step 1 done now. Could we roll the dice on doing broader human trials immediately and also in parallel scale up production? Sure you might kill people in trials and waste lots of money, but may be better than the alternative of tens of millions dead.
My understanding is that it is very labor intensive and the manufacturing capacity is simply not there to make billions of doses in a short timescale (months).
You know what they say, possession is 9/10 tenths of the law!
Besides, it is kind of difficult to decide who really owns any land when you look back through the long and complicated history of just about any modern country. Who should own Argentina? It used force to separate itself from Spain, so should Spain still have a claim over it? Should they demand it back again? How did Spain get it in the first place? By conquering the place, which means it was stolen from the natives. Should the descendants of the natives claim it back? But then the natives no doubt were made up of tribes/groups that used force to change ownership. So are you going to work that out backwards to the first tribe to arrive in the area many thousands of years ago? Where do you draw the line? Given the complexity you pretty much end up with the fairest method being to ask the actual inhabitants who they want to govern them. They said they want the British.
Nop, you're just mudding the discussion. Here are the facts:
- Spain named several governors for those islands from 1774 to 1810. Sovereignity was clearly stated by Spain over those islands.
- During that time, those islands depended of Buenos Aires government.
- If Spain owned Argentina plus the Malvinas, then once Argentina got its independence from Spain, the Malvinas were included as part of that independence.
- 1820, frigate La Heroína sailed to Malvinas to take possesion of it
- 1825, Great Britain admitted Argentina's independence from Spain, but didn't claim the islands.
- 1828, Buenos Aires government granted Port Soledad to Luis Vernet, for building up a colony. For this purpose, he shipped 100 inhabitants to the islands.
- 1829, Vernet was named as governor of the islands
- 1833, Great Britain took the Malvinas, and expelled the inhabitants from the islands.
Not to mention other facts like geology, and that the UN approved the new map for Argentina, which expands the continental shelf all around the islands.[1][2]
So, care to tell me how can Argentina OWN all the argentinean sea shelf AROUND the islands, BUT the islands?

The map you're linking to shows Argentina claiming much of the Antarctic. Leaving the Falklands aside, it should be obvious that a map like this is rather one sided and certainly doesn't have any international recognition given that no sovereign claim over the Antarctic is recognized by the UN or anyone else.
Aside from that I think you're misunderstanding what this map means. There's an international convention on continental shelves but national sovereignty supersedes it. There's no rule that if your continental shelf intersects territory intersects some island you own that island.
If it did then China would own Taiwan, France / Belgium / The Netherlands & Norway would own the British isles, South Korea would own Japan etc.
Most local population on Falklands has been of British origin since, what, 1840?
Ultimately, the important part is that there are no living people, whether on the islands or elsewhere, who are harmed by British control of the island, and there are plenty of living people who would be harmed by it being ceded to Argentine.
Really, the important part is that Argentina lost the war. But I get that people need to blow off steam about that sort of thing from time to time - there's something humiliating in losing a fight you started, especially when your opponent, basically just for the hell of it, sinks the severely superannuated secondhand light cruiser that's the pride of your nation's adorable little pocket navy. Why take it seriously? The result that matters is in. All the rest is just woofing.
If we're unwinding back almost 200 years to reach that conclusion, why not go 600? Have you appropriately compensated the native Argentinian tribes for the natural resources that you have plundered from them?
We are? Do people in "prehistoric societies" (whatever that is supposed to mean) not have rights to territory, or to natural resources?
In any case, I was definitely talking about people, not countries - this is clearly spelled out in the comment that started this thread. I don't care about countries. They only exist to serve the people, and any such rights they claim above and beyond that are illegitimate.
So even if you get a job in EU, better to check what is your budget. You don't want to live in a neighborhood full of immigrants with their specific "traditions".
