- 7moritz7 3y ago> rapidly declining Source? I need it urgently because a lot of my money is on the stock market both in the US and EU and I seem to have missed something significant
- overstay8930 3y agoYou know the eurozone is in a recession right?
- blitzar 3y agoI thought all the big banks and big companies were fleeing to the US for the same reason? The whole EU banking sector is worth as much as one big US bank.

- yakireev 3y agoFunny that you chose Amsterdam to give an example: this is one of the places in Europe where there actually are IT startups - some "home-grown", some moved from elsewhere. "Nobody" is plainly not true.
- overstay8930 3y agoI specifically chose Amsterdam for that reason actually, it is probably the best place in Europe to start and run a business and it still sucks compared to the US. Americans can actually move to the Netherlands easily because of special arrangements for starting businesses, but you won’t be surprised to find out most aren’t taking them up on that offer.
- frizlab 3y agoI am European and hate all the regulations they’ve done so far. I know it’s a very rare pov, but for me all of these new legislations are terrible both for the consumers AND the small developers (which I am both). The ONLY people getting something are the somewhat big companies.
- mousetree 3y agoWhich regulations do you feel are terrible for consumers and small developers?
- denton-scratch 3y agoGP told you: all of them.

- pbmonster 3y agoAnd roaming charges? Who doesn't like paying every time they go abroad for something that is now entirely free.
- mdrzn 3y agoAnd the fact that we went from having to pay a few € for 500MB to having (with Iliad) 10 GB FREE roaming in the whole EU? Damn I love the EU so much.
- MarcusE1W 3y agoYou could not even get near a border without a foreign telecom provider trying to connect you to their network abroad with powerful senders and charge through the roof. Those where the days ;-)
