It gets worse:
In 2024, public EU tech companies paid just €3.2B in income tax.
Meanwhile, the EU fined US tech companies €3.8B, which is MORE than the combined tax revenue from all public EU tech companies.
And, if just SAP moved from Europe to the US, the EU would lose ~50% of this tax revenue.
The EU is basically funding itself through fines on US tech.
You can't make this up:
Google now has a literal line item in their quarterly reports called "European Commission fines."
$10.5 BILLION as of September 30th.
The EU has become so heavily regulated that fines are a "normal" line item now.
What is happening in Europe?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The €3.2B in income tax cited covers only select software/internet firms, not all public EU tech companies; major firms like Siemens (€2.32B), ASML (€1.68B), and SAP (€1.61B) paid more individually in 2024. assets.new.siemens.com/siemens/assets… ourbrand.asml.com/m/44f4524a27c5… sap.com/integrated-rep…

4/ Bottom line: the winners won't just be the most efficient chains—they'll be the ones people genuinely want to use and can't help but talk about.

🚨 There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised. The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk.
The malicious payload works by silently swapping crypto addresses on the fly to steal funds.
If you use a hardware wallet, pay attention to every transaction before signing and you're safe.
If you don’t use a hardware wallet, refrain from making any on-chain transactions for now.
It’s still unclear whether the attacker is also stealing seeds from software wallets directly at this stage.
Excellent report here: jdstaerk.substack.com/p/we-j…

Obviously this *should* be a Ph.D thesis in some discipline. But which?
AI, with a specialization in time series prediction, is an obvious first choice. What's not obvious...
