Happy bday USA 250: "Best fireworks show, EVER!"

Happy anniversary to everyone who celebrated the 250th bday of the U.S. on July 4th. According to Trump, it was the biggest fireworks display ever. But I liked the fireworks in Las Vegas better than the ones in DC.

250 years is already a quarter of a millennium, but compared to European countries, the U.S. is relatively young. Spain is about 500 years old, Austria 1,000 (since its first mention), and Bulgaria even older with over 1,300 years of history.

As a confederation of states, however, the U.S. can look back on a long history and a wealth of experience, by comparison, the EU (Maastricht treaty) was founded only 33 years ago, and it’s been just 26 years since the introduction of the euro, and even that process isn’t complete yet, since there are still countries that don’t use the euro.

I’m curious to see which confederation will last longer, the U.S. or the EU? What do you think? Happy 250th, USA!
