Put even a bigger monster above it and call it Brexit
I read some stories how Brexit ruined so many small time businesses it was wild, r.i.p small time Barry
Oh no why can’t I freely use the European people’s data without their consent? You’re stifling innovation!
True.
It’s a horrorshow and if you should be able to create a product, then better hope that it is not electricity intensive to produce otherwise our fluctuating electricity prices are going to f you sideways.
We really have to sort this nonsense.
If you can’t follow the rules, you have no right to exist.
Regulations are good, overregulation is not.
We need a better balance I think. And also get rid of Belgium, but that’s a different subject entirely.
It’s controversial but regulation is good. Yes, we have over regulation but I don’t want to live in a place where corporates have full authority and don’t care about the people.
What in the Yankee Bullshit memes
Me having played the game knowing that the most dangerous figure in the pic is not the giant 🤓🤓🤓
Oh no, as an enteepeneur, you can not exploit people, and your money is not more important than people’s rights and safety.
The horror.
You forgot “EU CITIZENS” behind the big guy, being protected by him…
Not pictured here : The villagers hiding behind that colossus protecting them from corporate evil intents
This also means that Europeans have standards.
This distinguishes us from the Yanks and Brits
The giant is a gimmick boss that dies fairly easy in just a few hits. Are regulations really not that big of a challenge?
The European Paradox.
It comes from a EU Regulation that forbids States to directly subsidize companies. The rule itself makes sense, it was implemented to prevent countries from subsidizing companies that are in competition with companies from other countries, ensuring that the company succeeds by having the best and cheapest product without Government subsidies . That rule is biting EU start ups in the Ass now.
Good Idea in principle, needs a Reform.
I thought this meme was made by a Yank… Nice bait Pierre
On a serious note, one of the reasons for EU not having any really big successful companies from the past decades as discussed in a recent Good Times Bad Times video is that while start ups have plenty of funding at the inception, they struggle to raise funds to expand operations to the point of true self sustaining profitability such that they have more than enough funding to start a business, but not enough funding in the middle spot of transforming from a start up to an established company. In turn there is the twofold problem that due to start ups selling to often American investors, this means there’s less investors to fund start ups growing into big companies and this in turn reduces the available funding for further big companies in an incidious cycle
Sounds like American coping
The sentiment in this sub is exactly why we are discussing stuff like this on a US website.
Look to the other side of the pond and see if you like it better
That’s the wrong way to look at it.
If you are an entrepreneur it is your duty to factor in the existing regulations as well as planning ahead for future ones.
Regulations are just one of the external forces you have to take into account. If you cannot, you are just a bad entrepreneur.
Pointing fingers at regulations is snowflake/baby behaviour.
The problem is not enough taxes for the rich.
The sound of coping in this thread is truly deafening
We don’t need to deregulate, we need to regulate better.
In Spain the boss is the self appointed middle management that has somehow convinced your local Uni or administration that they are the one and only pathway to access EU funds. They filled a form with my name and tax summary.
Worked in software startups my whole career.
No.
People who think regulations stifle innovation are stupid. Regulation ensures quality and safety.
Addendum: if your electric product cannot pass EMC, CE, and ECE regulations and requirements it’s probably shit.
Mfw I wanna dump poisonous material in the local watersupply like they do in america.
Based, start up culture is basically cancer, they shouldn’t exist, it’s all a cycle of hyping, scamming and selling as fast as possible
Tbf, awfully uptight tax and national policies do much more direct damage, before we get into EU regulations
facebook propaganda on a racism sub 😔
I think it’s pretty obvious to me that this post is talking about EU regulations being incredibly over bearing, and, well, over regulated but people seem to think this is a criticism of regulation as a concept in general.
A lot of people on this sub, seem to like the EU as a way to keep Europe relevant on the global stage, and so that we as a continent can be a superpower competing with the US and China, but so many don’t seem to understand that innovation is key to that. And over regulation is terrible for innovation. Less regulation doesn’t somehow mean we’re gonna be ruled by corporations or some shit. There’s an obvious balance to be had
Those regulations are protecting us from having those dogshit cybercars, I think we are going to be alright
The worst case is the automobile sector, regulators are overegulating the entire market and want us to suffer by over taxing the Chinese cars thanks to Macron.
As much as it hurts to say, Yanks are right in some things, the perfect state would be a blend of mostly EU with some proper yank freedom
Already knew this from stupid things like car customization for example, but it really hit me when my dad told me something about our house
So basically, about 50 years ago my grandad built it from the ground up, straight up nothing was there, totally his house, it had 2 floors and a garage
Then when my dad grew, met my mom and it was clear they would settle down, they transformed the ground floor into another apartment and basically dug out another garage area and a ramp, with the previous garage becoming what is now our apartment
In my room, there’s a giant glass, half of it slides open. One day I asked my dad if it would be possible to close it with a wall, atleast a portion of it, because with it the room is really cold, feels very exposing and the opening glass isn’t used much to exit anyway
He said that we can’t, because for a dumb reason, the thing has to stay as an opening, because it “must retain it’s original purpose”, this got me mad, so I searched, and found nothing similar to this in the US, but I remember reading about it in other European countries
Things like this are where I get behind the idea of “freedom”, I would get it if it was a very old palace or something, and modifying would “ruin” it in a way, but here it’s our own house, grandpa literally built it from scratch, he should damn well be able to do whatever he wants with it
Regulations aren’t really a problem for start ups
you know, I think i’m good using an American website on my American smartphone from time to time if that means I pass on being spied on constantly by public companies with more market cap than the entire GDP of Italy as a result of lax privacy regulations, my health being in peril because of lead in pipes which most definitely shouldn’t be there if not for those lax safety regulations, my children’s bodily integrity at risk every time I send them to school because of those lax gun control regulations, my will to live gradually drained by never-ending hustle on the hundredth floor of a downtown skyscraper as a result of lax labour laws regulations until I inevitably die as a result of diabetes type 2 brought about by the excessive consumption of foodstuffs packed to the brim with high fructose corn syrup as a result of lax food industry regulations or have my savings account drained by a medical insurance provider because I had the bad luck of having that one rare genetic disorder that had I known about would have saved me 3 million dollars of copay on that one week hospital stay as a result of lax regulation of the medical insurance industry. as a matter of fact, I think I love me some regulations sometimes.
We have the strictest environmental regulations in the world. We had the best automobile industry. Where is our Tesla? Our BYD? We have the best engineers of the world, big brands have been able to get something half decent to the market, and the only reason they can compete with the Chinese is because the EU put tariffs on them. It is not about regulations -very single vehicle imported and sold in the EU meets them-. It is about bureaucracy. It is about drowning entrepreneurs under documents, taxes and lack of support. The EU is dying and only now we are beginning to see it, but there is not even an intention to make a change.
