When I worked in the hotel industry, the big chains were using ancient-ass property management software (Hilton's OnQ was from 2004 and Marriott's FOSSE is literally MS-DOS based with no mouse input) and I've been thinking about this more and more lately.

Here’s a crazy fact for you: Spain and Germany have now seen basically the exact same amount of economic growth post-2008. Would have been unthinkable to people during most of the 2010s. Spain has seen ~10 percentage points more cumulative growth since 2017.
