>>This is why I like Trump to win so that he can tell these EU blood suckers to back off American Companies and stop using them as a piggy bank because their sad, pathetic regulations are literally kneecapping an entire industry.
If Americans don't want to play by European rules, they are absolutely free to stop doing business here. No one is forcing them.
Also how do you imagine it working? Trump becomes president and just tells EU to back off? And will be met with anything other than laughter?
>>EU GDP / innovation has been a disaster ever since these monstrous regulations were put in place.
Well I guess for an American the idea of the government protecting its citizens with regulations must be completely wild - so I kinda understand why you wouldn't see that point of view.
>> but this is the time for Americans to show strong leadership and put these bureaucrats in place.
Like they do at home, where corporations do basically whatever they want? Maybe start in your own home before you start telling other countries to "back off"?

Is this what you think this is about? >>Like I said, this is what great leadership is working to the benefit of both countries. What do you mean? What leadership exactly are you talking about? Right now you have a senile grandpa in charge, and you're advocating replacing it with another senile grandpa - both of them belong in a nursing home. Neither one should be deciding anything about economy, not even because of their age but because that's not what presidents do. >>while sad / pathetic EU is still mired in one. In one what? Recession? No country in the EU is in one. >>10 years from now where EU is behind everything where even Saudi Arabia / UAE / CHina have leapfrogged EU in terms of innovations and GDP, it will start becoming more and more irrelevant. Do you sell crystal balls, and if yes can I buy one?
- zooq_ai 3y agoThe problem with arguing with non-moderates is, they absolutely can't get facts right https://think.ing.com/snaps/german-economy-still-stuck-in-recession https://think.ing.com/snaps/german-economy-still-stuck-in-re... https://think.ing.com/snaps/france-stagnation-continues/ https://think.ing.com/snaps/france-stagnation-continues/
- gambiting 3y agoMy apologies, indeed Germany is still in recession(France isn't, so I'm not sure why you linked that). I was looking at the overal figure that shows EU as a whole isn't in a recession, as you said "EU is still mired in one". So I guess you also don't get your facts straight? Or is it just a slip of the tongue? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/30/eurozone-recession-germany-economy-gdp-ecb-interest-rate-cut https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/30/eurozone-re... Anyway, are you going to address any other of my points, or has this ended the discussion for you already? >>The problem with arguing with non-moderates Clearly you've chosen a label for me in your head, so I guess we're done?
