It's cheap and easy to ridicule everything the EU does and completely ignore how successful it has been so far in uniting a group of extremely diverse countries to be competitive against powerhouses like the US, without completely selling out all cultural diversity and social protections.
Initiatives like this can clear the way for equalizing regulations that now hinder start-ups to operate across the EU, and remove barriers in certain countries, with direct input from existing start-ups.
How can this be a bad thing?
- LunaSea 14y agoIf you think that the EU has been "successful", you are majorly mistaken.

- onemorepassword 14y agoI live in the EU in an unprecedented period of peace and prosperity (yes, despite the current dip) and the freedom to live and work anywhere from Lithuania in the former Soviet-Union to the south of Spain. And that in the same country were my grandparents had to hide in the basement for German bombs, and nearly starved to death in the winter. Also, I'm married to a woman who grew up in a totalitarian communist state that is now also part of the same borderless EU. If you don't consider that a success, you have zero perspective.
