Europe keeps regulating itself to death and america isn’t. That’s why most modern innovation (Intel, Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, SpaceX, Uber, Airbnb, Etc) is coming from the US and not Europe. If you lived in both continents you would know
You could argue that America is unregulating itself to death.

In fact, that “America invented tech” comment is a perfect example of that.
