You’re right. Europe sold out a chunk of its high profile technology industry and never bothered to invest afterwards. Philips was the worst. They bought up every single electronic component supplier then sold it all to China. And let’s not look at the whole Nokia and Microsoft shit show.

The electronic design industry shrank so quickly that it actually pushed people out into other sectors.

We’re just pouring fuel on the race to the bottom. Lots of old men got to die rich.

Edit: don’t know why parent post was flagged. It was spot on.
