All Europe has to do is let young people become billionaires with limited liability and an unencumbered team selection.

I know it sounds like satire, but there is a good reason tech exploded in the US 30 years ago while Europe is still making cars like it's the 1960's.

And how incredibly beneficial that has been to society at large, oh boy. Definitely something we need more of!

Tech exploding in the US brought us lots of activity, but arguably not that much progress.

I'd much rather live in europe, having experienced both cultures. I don't have any problem with people earning wealth from selling goods and services, but I could do without people who want to be billionaires simply to be a billionaire.
