And it's true. Europe is great at inventing the stuff that the US then uses to make billions.



That’s not what I responded to which is why I left it out. The main claim is explicitly stating Europe cannot innovate due to culture. Which is just ridiculous and I wish that such claims weren’t so prevalent. By all means lets have discussions about relative levels of financing, entrepreneurship, research and development. But let’s not be lazy in our comparisons and also present even just the tiniest little bit of evidence when making a dramatic claim. Let’s be curious in the spirit of this forum but not let hyperbole pollute the discussions.
