I have read that the gap acts as a buffer that prevents agricultural and livestock diseases from crossing continents. This may be the best argument against completing the highway.
Way too many regulations and insane taxation aswell as expensive energy costs. Also eastern Europeans don't want to work for poverty wages anymore so that well is also running dry.
Standardizing for the sake of standardization. If there was a continent bent on virtue signalling, it is the EU, then followed by North America. Both examples of tech peak societies that kept shooting themselves in the foot.
Animation gold, unintentionally comedic animation. Sorry, but all of my attention was distracted by the derpy animation, literally couldn't listen to what you tried to say.
How on Earth 7.5 T$ (USA) vs 1.5 T$ (Asia) is "equally impressive" but 1.5 T$ vs 0.7 T$ (EU) is "significantly short behind China"? I agree with the video, but China also is far behind USA.
Idk man. I own a 93 box body 5.2L V8 Dodge. And I love it. And it’s American car. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I think it just depends on which models and years you get tbh … it’s hit or miss with those things…. As per se the year, and the Model/Manufacturer…. I love American cars. And I’m American.🇺🇸
I always think like what if we build a rail gun similar to this in space, and it launches ships or smaller spacecraft like voyager’s into deep space,like how fast could we get things going with zero gravity, but then also we have the new pulsed plasma engines to supplement after launch, I’d think we could have super fast interstellar travel at least.
I imagine the moon would probably be the best launch point if we were to do like the experimental rail gun shuttle launcher they already have and we basically just build a 2 mile long rail line that launches the ships. Even if it was just for unmanned cargo and scientific exploration ships. we could probably send tons of one way supply drops to mars hella quick for a possible future mars base, manned space transport would probably be too big to be a feasible option.
That's unfortunate, as a highly-skilled immigrant I regret coming to Europe. Most of my friends migrated to the US and they are millionaires with top positions in tech companies while I am being punished for earning much by paying so much tax and the highest public health insurance costs! When I find the chance and can unattach my bounds I will leave.
Europe does not fail in tech (as your academic examples show), it just has a very different way of capatlising on it. There is more of an atmosphere that things should be done for everyone, hence a large opensource community. European businesses are traditionally also smaller, so focussing on the largest companies also skews the statistics
Spotify simply put has a bad business model - they _lose_ money for every free subscriber they sign up. They then go to the EC and demand protections against anyone being able to show a profit in their revenue pipeline, and have even sued artists for trying to get a bigger cut of Spotify's revenues. Maybe another problem with Europe is not only the burgeoning bureaucracy, but the overprotection of European companies by the EC, thus making European firms with the expectation that they'll be babied _everywhere._ Just look at the EC going after Apple's worldwide revenues, despite the iPhone being neither developed nor manufactured in the EU. They take unmitigated gaul to a whole other level.
EU is such a hell and business disaster for tech enterpreneur. ALOT of things are forbidden to build & sell there, so developing new advanced technology is just pointless if you comply EU ridiculous regulations.
