Well maybe the EEA is not the answer and EFTA is? Or make a New agreement without the Strings. Much easier when EU dissolved, no Commission, No Parliament, No
Oh, and Sweden, Denmark and Norway all use their own version of the 'krona', Not euro. They seem to manage OK. "The Norwegian krone was launched in 1875, when Norway joined the Scandinavian Monetary Union."

EU budget: funding Europe's 2025 priorities

Oh, hold on, no that's not it, it's..
"The current EU budget is over €2.0 trillion. It consists of the EU’s 2021-2027 long-term budget of €1.2 trillion topped up by the up to €800 billion NextGenerationEU recovery instrument for the years 2021 to 2026."

In other words, give us all your money and we will decide what to use/waste/"lose" it on!

That's the scale of problems that eu politicians are facing. They are put in charge of finding the way forward for 450 million people, 20 trillion euros a year in gdp and get paid a good but still middle of the road salary. No wonder so many of them accept gifts from lobbyists.
However, take Ireland as an example. Leaving is suicidal. Your economy will instantly crash.
If you look into the root causes, the billionaires are at the root of all of this. They do as they please, answer to no one in particular, control the politicians, control the MSN, perpetuate their wealth to the next generation by avoiding taxes.

Big tech doesn’t just fund research into itself – it also controls researchers’ access to data. Even big tobacco didn’t have this kind of power.

The problems are:
The EU
The politicians

Ireland's economy may crash anyway if Trump prevails upon American companies to relocate back to the USA. In which case, the billions in corporate tax revenue (if real) will evaporate.
Also if there were no EU, European countries would still naturally club together in mutual self interest/protection, EEC?. But without Big Von Der Sister and her minions?
During recent flooding in ireland the country's politicians blamed, guess who? Hehe

i cant even borrow money from family members and pay them back as must be a gift or need a contract to be setup with interest in writing.

i cant even give the money for the flat away as like buying gold rolex ect or dumping it in to another account i cant hide it and the dwp will class that as trying to get rid of it as fast as possible to keep our benefits.

but we can own our own home and keep benefits but anything over 16k has to be spent on that alone so no Rolex for a wall clock.

but it must be done in 26 weeks.

plus i can only put 20k cash in to a Barclays account per year no matter how many accounts i have.

"Felines may be able to learn human words.

Keraru is meaningless in Japanese, but Tagaki believes the results of her experiment show that cats can understand human speech to a certain extent. When presented with the sun, the cats paid attention to the video for 3 to 5 seconds. The researchers repeated this pairing of the sun and the word keraru several times, to encourage habituation. But when cat owners later spoke the word keraru alongside a drawing of a blue unicorn smashing through a building, Takagi found that cats stared at the screen for longer than usual, as if surprised that “keraru” had so dramatically changed appearance. She believes they had learned to associate the word keraru with the image of the sun."
