Sounds like a really unhealthy market so maybe we should regulate that so this massive upscaling is not required?
Like enforcing interoperability between platforms, privacy rules etc.?
- simonh 5y agoYou can't legislate away practical constraints like economies of scale or basic economics. The Soviets and Maoists tried that and it doesn't work. Also at this sort of scale, of big international business, they are, well, international. Europe can legislate itself into an artificially divided, segregated, politically engineered economic corner as much as it likes but that won't help it's companies compete in America, or China, or anywhere else.
- FredPret 5y agoCan’t compete, let’s legislate? I can only shake my head
- anoncake 5y agoCountries don't compete, they make the rules.
- j_wtf_all_taken 5y agoWell, making the European economy competitive (in your view, not mine) would also require legislation, so I guess shaking your head is just your thing that you would do anyway? So you favor the monopolies that some American companies have in some markets?
