US based computer services for the EU could be shut down with a few keystrokes as could US based services anywhere in the world including in the US, but life would go on, if with a fair bit of inconvenience. We got through WW1 and 2, we could survive without google for a bit.
- BiteCode_dev 1y agoDuring WW 2, the entire economy didn't have things like a cold chain, thousands of gas stations, a JIT food supply, half the country working white collar jobs, most heating relying on electricity to work, administration going mostly online, people having to commute 30 minutes away on average, electronic payment being the norm, most of the economy running on something virtual and a super dependence on the outside world for pretty much everything. It's not about Google, it's about what critical part of our system now relies on Google to function. Having lived in Africa, I can live in pretty minimalist conditions. I don't think the EU is ready for them, though.
