> the keys of kingdom Hard to agree on that. Of course Europe has a huge industrial legacy and a population that has a high purchase power; and it is very welcomed by a generation of politicians trapped in the pst regarding of innovation and technology. Said that, with a demographic changing already happening plus with productivity gains provided by technology I think in 15 years will be a hard sell to not be a bit loose in that regard. And another thing: thanks for the conservatism, money generated by European users, and “fear” feeling from the American tech companies Europe is getting a huge free pass that those companies are not doing any kind of blackout or something like this. I would consider kingdom 20 years ago, with that demographic shift happening plus the technological advances and productivity gains; I feel that this is some sort of locking 500m of people as hostages in a museum.
