By the way, people in Germany said the same thing when the VW emission scandal broke, and was prosecuted, in the US about US car makers. The argument was redicilous in both cases.
There are plenty of EU giants: Linus Torvalds, Guido van Rossum, Bjarne Stroustrup, Niklaus Wirth, Anders Hejlsberg, Bram Moolenaar
And almost all of them ended up either moving to the US and/or employed by a large US tech organisation. No one is claiming the people from the EU aren't super smart, talented and innovative, just that the EU does a terrible job at of fostering and nurturing that.
you meaning fostering and nurturing that into more exploitative mega corporations?
I can live with that
I mean fostering and nurturing any reason at all for these people (and people like them) to stay in the EU and not work for US based "exploitative mega corporations". Why do so many EU citizens see working for (or trying to start) a US based "exploitative mega corporations" the best way to achieve their tech goals.
Bram has unfortunately died.
ASML
The US is incapable of regulating them and foists that responsibility onto the rest of the world.
