There are some valid points in there but “Europe” is too vague a label for this post. It’s the difference between Greece and the US (or Greece and SFBA).

Applies for most of Europe too imo. Major exception being Switzerland and by God does this tiny country punch over its own weight. Right across my office we have pharma and biotech labs, hedge fund headquarters and family offices, farmland, advanced machinery companies, chemicals factories, crypto and AI startups, ski resorts and lake hotels, all located on a 240 km2 patch of land.

It's much easier to start up a company in the US than it is in any part of Europe.

This is just an LLM leaning into stereotypes.
