Indeed, they just can't seem to understand the modern economy. How many unicorn's has Europe created over the last 15 years? The idea that a wildly influential technology company coming from the EU instead of America or China is just not realistic. I guess they can continue to export luxury brands and tourism. I think Europeans tend to have an aversion to success/wealth and are scared to go out and try and build something. Just be conservative and go and work for a company that underpays. But at least you get to go on a vacation a couple times a year. I feel like the time I've spent in Europe and the time in the USA is that Americans are optimistic that something can be done and they go out and take a risk. Europeans are skeptical of anything new. And to me it's weird because the way social safety nets tend to work in Europe, people should be taking risks left and right. And to be sure there's no lack of very talented engineers in the EU. Is it that Europe relies so much on legacy? Their legacy colonial relationships around the world, their legacy brands, etc?
