> 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!
