Oddbean new post about login | logout The US is a meritocracy, they hate that since they are inadequate
Ppl with skills and ambition wish they were in the US. Entitled western commies wish they were in Europe
Nothing is free. There is a reason why the best companies are started in the US and there hasn’t been any innovation in Europe in forever. Just look at how hard it is to fire incompetent employees in Europe. Western commies think that’s a good thing lol
Capital goes where it is treated best. Capitalism = capital + labor
There is a reason why the US is still the number 1 immigrant destination, with as many problems as we have. The American dream is still alive, but less obtainable. Social mobility still exists like no where else in the world
Too much government regulation stifles growth. It’s unattractive to entrepreneurship.
These corporations are only able to offer these high salaries because they are making big profits. Profit is not a bad word
This is also why the US will be the logical location for bitcoin. It got off to a rough start bc they viewed it as a threat, but it is course correcting as I write this. It is a national security concern at this point. The nation state hash wars. Just like Infosec
There is a reason why companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, nvidia, Amazon, etc were founded in the US and not the socialist hellscape that is Europe. Let them do their thing and get out of the way
