Who is the plaintiff then? I can't find it, and why would they then sue in the first place?

No, even worse, it means the EU has some sort of leverage on it or control over the company or entity.

Sounds about right here in Europe. At least they have something to show for it this time, I guess? I mean, assuming they created the quantum computer with the EU funds.

Well, the idea of spending more, is working more, which the latter is reflected by GDP. If the government spends more, it should cause more work, which should lead to higher GDP. This is one simple way to look at it. If the government is sp

No it doesn't. What it definitely could mean with democrats in power is the USA becoming just as insane as Europe thinking the big corporations are the "bad guys" and we have to "drill" them. It's a Western pro

No, you're completely ignoring the facts that @refurb is stating. The US govt is also extremely inefficient, true, but taxes in the US are far less than in Europe, on average.

The point is that you can't draw conclusions of quality of health care simply based of one statistic. There so many other reasons to cause difference in life expectancy. > The US left expectancy has also been going down even after t

Exactly, very well answered. UK might be higher now that they recently (this year) raised their corporate tax rate by 7%! And certainly this doesn't include the inflation tax either. Governments spend like crazy. No wonder we're n

It's a minor difference (3 years), there are a lot of other reasons that can contribute to difference in life expectancy than health care. Europe is very much, you know, don't do anything, sit at a home all days. Americans are mor

Yeah, but at least you can get quality health care in America. That hardly exists in Europe. Free "health" care to shit doesn't do much good. I have hard to seeing why you think you're worthy of incurring unending health

Total disagree. See my comment up above (1). Health care is horrible in the EU. At least in America you can choose to go bankrupt in exchange for quality health care treatment. In the EU, if you ever even get Doctor time, it's always r

Taxes are far higher in Europe than in America. The additional "Social" benefits in my opinion are trivial in comparison with the differences in taxes. Progressive income taxes increase at a far higher rate in Europe. Plus Europe

It's definitely not the status quo. But you know, the world is in a shitty position (war, climate crisis, ecological disasters, etc), so maybe the status quo is to be blamed after all and look - that we do need change.
