Makes me sad to see people still care more about terrorism than humanitarian aid

According to Swiss media the EU spent the past 11 months regulating veggie burgers and oat milk
So my number 1 would be better PR/communication. The EU does a lot of good but somehow only the bad stuff gets talked about.
Normally I'd just up vote this and move on, but I REALLY love the presentation on this.
Kinda wish US data was presented this way (state by state for national data, county by county for state data).
The dangerous part is that this is priority by popularity. It's misleading like McDonalds is the most popular food but most know that it is not the best.
What is missing is the identification of the real problems and their communication so that everybody can help to solve them.
How do you determine what the "real problems" are?
Well, for example, the top priority is cost of living, while climate change is quite far down. But climate change is already increasing the cost of living and will do so further, but people don't seem to make the link.
That's what society has to figure out. We have chosen that science doesn't work for pandemics. So I have no idea how there can be a meaningful answer. I would still use science, but that's useless without a majority.
The best way to which food people consider the best is to ask them. The best way to consider which subjects are considered most important is to ask them. What else do you suggest? It is not like poor people think "climate change is the most important but I can only afford to talk about migration"
Well, good thing Portugal passed new immigration laws recently since that's... third least important to them. Any other places that are really misaligned with these priorities?
No mention of white supremacists or rise of fascism, truthy a scary picture.
Set a vision for the EU, where do we want to win.
- Encourage entrepreneurship (fiscally and loosen regulatory pressure)
- Harmonise and integrate European financial markets
- Encourage (fiscally) public and institutions to invest into European companies, small and large
These three together should get our future back on track, and make us prosperous again. Other less urgent focus areas:
lower energy costs and improve the net, share the burden and energy between countries Improve train transportation between countries (nice to have) Increase barriers to entry for non productive, non skilled migrants. Increase fines and deductions from European fund distributions to European countries that completely disobey and try to demolish the union from the inside (Hungary)
