I love living in Europe.
Our culture, food, and quality of life are unmatched.
But unless we wake up and slash these innovation-killing regulations...
Our children will build their dreams elsewhere.
That's the brutal truth.

The solution is clear but painful:
• Match US tax incentives
• Fast-track tech startups
• Slash AI regulations
• Reform hiring laws
But will EU bureaucrats listen?
History suggests no.

We're creating a two-tier digital world:
Rest of World: Cutting-edge
Europe's Ai: Restricted, watered-down versions
Even Afghanistan now gets unrestricted access to tools Europeans can't use.

The EU AI Act requires:
• Human oversight for basic AI
• Extensive documentation
• Public data disclosures
• Regular audits
Cost for startups? Millions.
This kills innovation before it starts.

A German VC recently said:
"EU regulators are like overprotective parents who won't let their kid ride a bike because they might fall...

We're regulating ourselves into dependency.
Because EU companies can't build tech locally, we rely on foreign tools:
• 85% use US AI models
• 92% use US cloud services
• 95% of our data is on US servers
Digital colonization by regulation.

Since 2010, the EU has unleashed a flood of tech regulations:
• GDPR: €4M compliance cost per company
• Digital Markets Act: killed Platform growth
• AI Act: World's strictest AI rules
Each meant to protect.

The numbers tell a brutal story.
In 2010, Germany had 2 of the world's top 10 tech companies.
Today? Zero.
SAP remains our only real global tech player, ranked 17th by market cap.
