The way you say it, it sounds like the EU shouldn’t have any companies at all, but that is not true. In fact, the EU is very good at boring tech, which is the reason why the US is imposing high tariffs.

Also the EU lacks a unified capital market where infinite VC money can be pooled together into any new hype. I would argue this the biggest reason.

There is also survivor bias at play here. Succeeding without safety net is hard -> only the best can do it -> the best entrepreneurs you know did not had a safety net

The funniest thing about Luxembourg is that it is a known tax haven for American corporations. So American corporations will lobby against social programs in the US, but will make Americans fund Luxembourg's free public transport. htt

Here you can buy 250 ml glasses for 1.39 Euro a piece. Even cheaper for sets. I’m not sure how cheap we need glasses to be?

Tech is often a winner takes all market, but this will go out of the window if it is seen as a national security issue.

In the Japanese model the rail company also owns land around the station, so they capture more of the value of rail transport. Rail in the UK does not capture all the value it delivers, so subsidies would be a pragmatic solution.

Price distortions are bad because the market might not react correctly to it. But if there are too many restrictions to build housing anyway, you might as well ease the pain for social harmony.

The idea is to say more or less the same thing in your own words. "It sounds like you're feeling fed up" --> "Fed up?" Eventually you develop your own conversational template that is authentic and effective.

This guy explains it well [1]. Which is the main - or perhaps the only reason - why some countries have due process in the first place. It is not that social elites just decide to extend it on everyone out of grace It is that those in powe

Why are you so anti-innovation? So anti-progress? There is no reason why the slot car concept cant work. Just plug the car to a long cable. I call it the hyperslot.

How are batteries cheaper then... no batteries at all? Since the routes are fixed anyway you can attach a cable to the sealing of the tunnel and connect it to the Teslas. You can then drive the Teslas around like slot cars. Requires no char

Indeed! I think the Vegas loop has immense potential. There are many ways we can iterate on this concept. Perhaps we can use bigger cars, in a bus like shape to transport more people at once. Or we could remove the batteries to save cost an

There are youtube channels like Latest Sightings that show nature in its rawest form and it is very disturbing. Like male zebras killing foals that er not his and seeing the mother desperately defending her foal.

The only reason why Tesla is selling at 190 PE is because of Musk. Musk is really good at selling stock to retail investors.

The value of Bitcoin also depends on your ability to convert it to real world money, since contracts are denoted in real world money. I'd argue the real value of money lies in contract enforcement. And I am talking about real world phy

Besides, I don't see how a $20 shirt becoming a $30 shirt is going to make a difference for American manufacturing. It's simply a sales tax (maybe even the greatest in the world). And on top of that you have all inputs for America
