AN, really? Europe has many companies that actually DESIGN, PRODUCE, and BUILD useful things. I.T. firms aren’t the be-all and end-all of innovation.

If Amazon, Fecesbook, the Twat, LinkedIn, or even Google went nipples-up tomorrow, the world would move on and their services would be replaced quickly. If Siemens or BASF went under, industry and power grids would come to a screeching halt.

It’s amazing how much industrial and power plant equipment Siemens provides and maintains. And BASF is the largest chemical company in the world.
