• When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons.

• In a changing world, some jobs disappear and new ones are created. That's how it has been for hundreds of years. When jobs disappear, the vast majority is not because of global trade, but because of technical advances, robotization and so on.

The EU can also better utilize its investment and social funds to protect its citizens from swift changes.

My parents knew nothing of this past, or nothing worth passing on.
