What would change with a more integrated, united Europe?

 

You would live a longer, healthier, and more predictable life. You can be and love whoever you want and have the same fundamental rights whichever country you enter.  You will have lots of economic opportunities and the physical and social mobility to move to different places to try out different things, or if you prefer: stay in your community and live a dignified and fulfilling life. You will be safe from imperialists from the outside, and from corrupt autocrats from the inside. You can walk, bike and train in clean and vibrant cities and villages. You will know your rights and hold the powerful to account!

 

Okay, nice story, but what would that actually mean for me, day to day, and how can you prove it? A United States of Europe would massively increase your quality and dignity of life and as a nice bonus, also increase your pay check! But how? We have outlined it all for you across all aspects of society, down to the final Eurocent and then some!.
