Yeah. And Europeans are astounded by American affinity for excusing socipathic corporations who bloat on uncontrolled cash influx floating their shares, giving them to power to profit from even murdering you Americans. From healthcare to guns to pink goo being sold as 'food'. Any country can 'compete' if they allow their society to be ravaged by such sociopathy. Until they face social collapse. Like the US is doing now.

Europeans have a lot going for them that should make them more competitive - social safety net, better regulation, ability to build infrastructure without local opposition. Gun violence is a huge drag on the American economy, so it doesn’t make sense to say “Americans are competitive because corporations can profit off guns”. Americans are competitive _despite_ massive regulatory failures and IMO could be quite a lot more competitive if we paired entrepreneurial ambition with basic government competence. By the way, “pink goo” (more commonly pink slime) is not dangerous, and is used to cut down on waste. It is the “ugly produce” of the meat world. I don’t see anything objectionable about pink slime that isn’t also objectionable about meat in general as a food.

Except, there is no such obligation in Europe to constantly hawk stocks to increase stock prices. From cloud providers to social networks, all kinds of things are in Europe. In China. In Japan. Americans dont hear about them. > Pink goo It was an example. Those corporations have no obligation to tell you what exactly they put in the 'food'.
