It is time to restart Europe’s innovation engine.
We have the Compass.
We have the political will.
Now, what matters is speed and unity.
Because the world is not waiting for us ↓ nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1mnxeAgpv…

NEW: Flat Earther travels all the way to Antarctica to prove that the Earth is flat only to find out that it's not.
Lmao.
Flat Earth YouTuber Jeran Campanella went on a $35,000 trip to prove that there was "no 24-hour sun."
"Sometimes you are wrong in life and I thought there was no 24-hour sun. In fact I was pretty sure of it. And it's a fact – the sun does circle you in the south."

To trigger acceleration, you need to create the need for acceleration.
That sense of urgency has been lacking for many years among administrations and institutions across Europe.
We work to increase the awareness among EU politicians and officials.
By amplifying our message, you help us in getting there.
We believe the urgency is still widely underestimated by many officials and by outgoing Commissioners and their teams.
We hope the newcomers will come fresh, motivated, excited to accelerate Europe's growth and understand that the business as usual is what has led us to the huge gap with US and Asia...
So business as usual is a recipe for widening that gap, not fixing it.
Might not be what one wants to hear, but definitely the wise and mature thing to do is to recognize we have some work to do in Europe if we want to upgrade our game.
And yes, we can upgrade our game.
That upgrade will be faster and better if the @EU_Commission and @Europarl_EN upgrade themselves too.

The euro bashing doesn't make sense.
Europe has something America doesn't: beautiful cities you can live in, low crime and a general pleasantness in the air.
It's like making fun of a poor guy with a beautiful girlfriend. He's happy.

Man sits by me on train.
MAN: Loads of psychopaths around here
ME: Really?
MAN: Loads mate
ME: How'd you know?
MAN: There's signs aren't there?
ME: I guess?
MAN: I love them
(47 minutes of awkward silence.)
Man leaves train, he has a bike. I realise he was saying 'cycle paths'.
