The trade deal will introduce a 15% tariff for the vast majority of EU products. But some will benefit from a "zero-for-zero" scheme. #EuropeNews

I hope they do make the details public, but it does look like EU bent the knee with this one.

    Do they? Most founders located in the USA are either heirs of Fortunes or foreigners.

    They’re especially good at:

    • Financing: they have been printing money line there’s no tomorrow and pumped their stock market

    • Marketing: many of us here aren’t native English speakers and yet, we communicate in English. This puts native speaker at an advantage

    So no. They don’t do so much better things. They are just reckless their own people for the sake of the economy.

    And yes. Not buying from them, especially for things that are commodities (benzin, diesel) or bad for your health (soda, junk food) is actually hurting them.

      Would be interesting to know if your attitude is a typical attitude in Europe. I would sell all my european funds and buy american ones to replace them if it is.

          So just to clarify: Do you think that boycotting USA is more important than being better than USA?

              In this context: Doing better stuff better than they do.

                Not only you use the word you need to define on the definition, but you use it twice.

                We do better stuff better than US. They do some stuff better than us. Some third parties do better than either.

                What’s your point?
