   I am once again happy that the EU is fighting practices like these via legislation.

   Some outcomes can be annoying, but the net result is still positive, for the consumers and their data privacy at least.

         > The outcome is that very little serious technology or influential companies come out of Europe. And salaries for things like engineer are about a third of that in the US.

         So your argument is abusive practices are required for the creation of influential companies, serious technology, and high paying salaries?

            No but overly burdensome regulatory bodies that are concerned about such things like how the top of my bottle cap functions and how low i set my ac temp leads to an incredibly hostile business environment and stagnant culture.

            But like I said, nice place to visit for the time being.

               Yes, because it’s a place where culture matters and where trying to change everything as fast as possible for unknown reason and handing out unlimited power to corps to e.g. level half the country to build DCs is not seen as a good outcome. The specific mindset you complain about is what makes those place nice.
