If you're only paying for a couple of those yards, does it matter if the others are literally free or if you distribute that payment to all of them while paying a couple percent each?

This is the most amazing paragraph I think I have ever read, pure gold!
The EU represents about 24% of the global Saas market for example. (95 billion in 2024 / global SaaS market in 2025 is ~ $408 billion). For comparison, North America leads globally at around 43-50% market share)
Yeah, which is why the EU has a much larger GDP. Global companies make significantly more revenue in the EU than in the US. And of course the EU economy is growing much faster than the US and doesn’t face any demographic headwinds.
You can only sell so many iPhones in the US until the market is completely saturated. A market of twice as many people that can afford them sure is tempting.
maybe it’d be cool if this EU market with all these people can find a few smart ones to gang up together and form a company that serves EU people and complies with whatever EU dreams up on any given day - boom - problem solved :)
It's quite amazing how arrogant Americans are despite being a thing for like 10 generations, and how brainwashed they are into believing regulations are bad, to the point of being borderline enraged by the fact that the EU exists. You might want to open a few history books, or books in general, and look up the history of your all American inventions
cool mate, you should then enjoy your inventions and ingenuity from Greek Gods and stuff and maybe read a book or two on AI by Plato :-) Too funny (and I am European)
except you know, you had a job. and coming out of college could get one… if you were graduating right now in compsci you’ll find a wasteland with no end in sight…
You’re assuming a lot about me that isn’t true, but let’s just say we can’t really know, can we? And I think it’s a bit reductionist to attribute the current job market to LLMs. The market started to suck long before LLMs became useful.
I would let government decide “you cant afford to live” as much as I would let OJ Simpson date my daughter. but that would be a hoot as two parties controlling the government change. while one is in power, 99.99% of retirees would qualify, the other - 0.000065% :)
vacuous anti-government take that doesn’t really do anything to contribute to the discussion, imo. essentially “keep the government out of my social security!”
do that poll in fairfax or loudoun county in northern va or san jose or san francisco and and watch those numbers change… every is up for more taxes as long as someone else pays them
