> falling behind the US economically and technologically Are you even human? Do you really believe what you say? Doesn't it come across as absurd, from everything that happened to the US since the Snowden revelations, the Patriot Act, spiraling into fascism, a first time attacking science and democracy, a second time to install oligarchs, traitors, corrupt and incompetents to run the state, with the result of tanking your real economy (on every metric that's not related to AI), burning down your soft power, burning bridges with every ally, losing the war against Iran, and causing a generational talent exodus out of the US? Oh yeah, by no means am I blindly defending "the EU leadership", but some reality check is much needed. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

At least there’s free speech and people are not arrested for mean memes (as is the case in UK and Germany). Burning bridges with “allies” which were taking advantage of you? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
