Ok so where's the European alternatives? Where are they? Because in my experience as a Norwegian citizen who has started and run tech companies, we simply can't compete on this kind of tech because energy is more expensive, all the added costs of employment are so incredibly expensive (despite massive amounts of immigration, which only drains our welfare state anyway) and all the EU-based rules and regulations we must follow even when we're not direct members; all of these things and more related to them are absolutely stifling.

In this environment there is zero chance of an "AWS-like" competitor or anything remotely like it in the tech sector. And if you say "Hezner" I've got a bridge to sell you.
