"I don't like Hitler but we have no right to intervene in Germany and it could be even worse if he left"

@steipete@flo@sabinedoering Genau meine Erfahrung. Europe versteht nicht, wie wichtig Optimismus und Betriebs Freundlichkeit sind um die Ökonomie zu retten.
In der USA sind die meisten Menschen enthusiastisch.
In Europa werde ich beschimpft, Leute schreien REGULIERUNG und VERANTWORTUNG.
Und wenn ich wirklich hier eine Firma baue dann kann ich mich mit Themen wie Investitionsschutzgesetz, Mitarbeiterbeteiligung und lähmenden Arbeitsregulierungen abkämpfen. Bei OAI arbeiten die meisten Leute 6-7 Tage die Woche und werden depentsprechend bezahlt. Be uns ist das illegal.
Europeans who are dismayed about the prospects of their continent should take solace in the success of Takaichi, Milei, and Bukele. Things do change. It only appears impossible until its done.

Niall Ferguson on Javier Milei’s success:
“The world has never seen a government more radically libertarian than Milei’s. But the amazing thing is not that it is working economically—Adam Smith would say, ‘I told you so.’ The true miracle is that Milei’s shock therapy is working politically.”
