So is your solution that Europe only creates small companies?

If this is in reference to the parent's mention of Hauwei (200,000 employees, ~$120 billion annual revenue), then I'm not sure we all share your idea of a small company

  • Small company can mean different things to different people. Considering that some larger Chinese companies have north of 2 million employees, 200k is quite a small number actually. Go figure.

My solution is that sustainable companies are more worthwhile to society, than late scale capitalism companies that always lay off employees when the exponential growth targets set by their C suites aren't met.

  • The only reason companies exist is to make money for the founders and/or shareholders. Everything else is a pipe dream.

    • Only in capitalist minds.

      Companies are nothing without their employees.

      Naturally shareholders would rather have robots.
