Brits: left EU, drifted to US that treats them like crap. A wise choice, what can I say.
"We send the EU 350 million pounds a week. Why not send it to Palantir instead?"
- OJFord 6mo agoI know they're similar numbers, but all you're really doing is making this look cheap, because it isn't a weekly contract. (Not that the comparison would make much more sense if it were, apples and doorframes.)
- cynicalsecurity 6mo agoSpoiler alert: Brits were not sending the EU 350 million pounds a week. That was a bullshit number made up by Brexiteers. Crazy, I know.
- mike_hearn 6mo agoYes they were and it wasn't made up. The objection was that the number is gross but some of that money the EU chose to spend in the UK. But that's irrelevant to this point because the EU didn't spend any of that money on healthcare. It went on the commissions priorities and projects, not the NHS. So the claim that it could be spent on the NHS instead, but only on leaving, was correct.
- graemep 6mo agoA lot of EU countries are using Palantir and dependent on US big tech too
