EU's strength is in diversity, and von der Leyen is set on killing that.

US tech companies won not because EU is diverse, but because they had access to more money and could undermine all competition by dumping prices.

Even before Google, there was Microsoft and it's tacit acceptance of "piracy".

I feel like it's important to specify "diversity" and not just use it as a catch-all. I don't believe the strength of the EU is in diversity of how companies are implemented and run across the union, it's the diversity of culture, mindset and people that is the strength, and that can be represented inside companies, even if the way of setting up, running and investing in companies would be the same across the union.

		Diversity of rules also. And a sane amount of inefficiency and contradictions. That's how we will build a truly resilient system. Don't forget that the most efficient state was the Third Reich, closely followed by the Soviet Union.
