> EU mom and pop shops

Who said anything about mom and pop shops? You're arguing in extremely bad faith, as usual with this topic.

Doctolib, Revolut, Adyen, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, and tons of others I can't be bothered to list.

> The EU semi companies you listed are absent from the state of the art and only make low margin commodity parts that don't have moats

You think industrial controllers don't have a moat?

> If you fall out of the state of the art then the claim of EU fumbling semiconductors is correct.

Absolutely not. There is more to the world that state of the art.

Care to explain your wild accusations. I never attacked you directly, just the points you made.

>Doctolib, Revolut, Adyen, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens, and tons of others I can't be bothered to list.

Do those make anything the US or China can't? A doctor appointment scheduling app? Seriously?

>You think industrial controllers don't have a moat?

I never mentioned industrial controllers. Just the chips and microcontrollers those companies make.

>There is more to the world that state of the art.

If you like competing in low margin race to the bottom jobs, sure. Just don't be surprised your tech wages are low then.
