Hypothetical local companies? The type of major tech corporations that are effected by DMA and similar regulations simply do not exist in Europe. Regulating and fining them is very cheap politically when there are no jobs that can be lost o

Things like: "" Fibonacci's sequence (i.e. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...) was discovered in Africa long before the Italian wrote it down, in the form of Ghanaian textile cloth and Egyptian temple design. (1) "" or:

I'm not sure. They did supposedly organized "Decolonization in Mathematics" conference. I have no particular interest in figuring out what that means exactly on a non superficial level because it would be a waste of time.

Well you do have a point. It would be absurd. Just like the opposite. Both decolonizing and "further" colonizing maths makes no sense and is a waste of time at best...

Well yes.. an attempt by pseudo-fascists to takeover universities and other public institutions is indeed a matter of national security.

Well you claimed they are violating "the fourteenth amendment" which hardly makes sense. How could they be doing that? Is Harvard a Government agency? A state unto itself?

Lower savings rate, higher inflation, higher interest rates, less capital available for investment. So most capital intensive sectors wouldn't do well. A lot more volatility, without a (or much smaller one) buffer most economic shocks
