You can’t be serious, that you think that the US has more differences than a whole continent made out of twice as many people living in 50 countries all with their own cultures and traditions. I don’t even know why all people from the US really want to believe that their state is sooo different from the others, I visited and lived in many different places in the US, and it’s all more or less the same, the difference are minimal against differences between whole countries.

But the EU obviously isn’t nearly as intertwined as the US, and even if it would form a country tomorrow it would take decades or maybe even centuries to close the big cap between the rich and poor countries. The idea of one big european country is so young, that it simply doesn’t make sense to group the countries all together into one stat and say “thats how it is over there“, when the stat is far from reality on both ends of the spectrum. But the US has been a country for centuries, the regional differences aren’t as big and in the end does have a federal minimum wage, which is what this is about. But I do know what you mean, and I think a further unified europe is probably the only way to stay relevant in the future.
