the EU loves taxing productive companies and wasting said money in stillborn projects that nevertheless promise a kind of bright socialist federalist Europe in their bureaucratic minds

At least we have some of the most livable countries on Earth to show for it. I take taxes over any trickle-down economics, and don't let me stop you looking up the definition of socialist, because you are using it wrong.

Besides it's a 8.5 million EUR project, it's literally nothing, it's payroll for a few people. The money is being invested into people who then spend most of it, so it's a triple investment.

Who said anything about socialism? It’s a geopolitical tool to weaken American and Russian influence from Google and Yandex.
Isn't it lovely?!
On a side note - how does one get involved with the project should they wish to do so?
I am fine as long as they pay for these self-centered utopias with their own money
I'm fine with paying 2 cent for this.
