China and US obviously but first EU needs to be shaken out of complacency. It’s brewing slowly, but as all risk, it’s slow until it isn’t. Shutting down nuclear, outsourcing all tech and manufacturing, overregulation and allowing to be taken over by culture of lazy (and lazy cultures) are all fixable, but it takes time, which is running out.

  >allowing to be taken over by culture of lazy (and lazy cultures) are all fixable Please wait a bit until I've leveled up to the capitalist class. I'll be there any day now. Thank you.

    The capitalist class is probably the laziest class in the US, one of the loudest capitalist critics of so lazism even has a self-made 20 season documentary on how she does nothing all day.

  The lazy culture thing is so overwhelming in Canada right now as well. I have started to note the impact in a lot of places.

    What is this lazy culture you are all speaking about?

    It is deeply ingrained in lots of workforce in lots of jobs. Many people just don't care about doing a good job, especially in state owned institutions, and on the other hand being actually good at your job is not valued or recognized appropriately by bad middle management in tons of places, so people lose motivation to be better than orienting themselves at the average. Many want to do the bare minimum, understandably, when recognition for more does not exist.

  > outsourcing all tech and manufacturing Huh? Can you mention any examples of this, specifically in tech? AFAIA outsourcing is done largely by western countries, including the US, _to_ eastern countries, including parts of Europe, Russia, China, India, etc. This is an obvious cost cutting measure, since developers there are cheaper and the talent pool is large. This has been going on for decades. Hell, the H-1B visa is made to bring those developers in, while still undercutting their salaries compared to US employees. Outsourcing is much less prevalent in the EU, let alone "all tech"... > overregulation As opposed to no regulation? The US and China are not role models for how tech companies should exist and operate in society. Whatever "innovations" are being stifled by regulations in the EU is for good reasons. Big Tech has way too much power and influence to the detriment of society. At least the EU is making an effort to draw some boundaries, and if you ask me, it's not nearly enough. > allowing to be taken over by culture of lazy (and lazy cultures) Yes, how dare those lazy europeans have a sensible work-life balance!
