It's exactly because of Europe's vasted potential that we ask for more. Celebrating Europe as a supplier to the great American engines of commerce and wealth is only a step or two above Congo claiming credit for Tesla because of their cobalt. Europe has the brains and the history for greatness, but squanders much of it at the moment in thrall to climate degrowth nonsense and suicidal empathy. I'm all onboard with the idea that this should motivate a movement to invigorate Europe, though. Just as long as it's not through excuses or europoor justifications for not having the basic utilities of civilization, like AC or laundry machines that can complete four loads in a day without breaking a sweat. Europe should take the best of American vigor and entrepreneurship without shame or excuse. The US has Europe beat on those points at the moment. Admit it, copy it, and catch up.
