@Veza85UE @EUCommission Thanks for sharing :)

@Veza85UE @EUCommission Maybe no benefit? I'm not sure. I'm not even sure how it currently works or what kind of approval process is in place, but I think friction is always a good place to stop and think about the big picture. If a thing isn't worth doing because you have to wait a bit, maybe we don't need it? Unfortunately, I can't offer much more than a vague disagreement with the sentiment of wanting founders to move fast.

@Veza85UE @EUCommission It seems like you are adding things to my take. "Start a company with no capital in less than 48 hours all online" and "EU needs founders" is what I disagree with. Beyond that, I don't know enough to comment.

@Veza85UE @EUCommission I don't really know enough about the specifics of the different countries to comment on that part of it. And hey, maybe having an EU-wide structure for making companies is a great thing. It just seems to me that being able to start a company with next to no friction is not conducive to people being thoughtful when building a company or a product. I don't want a "fail fast" mentality building our infrastructure or even our social media.

@Veza85UE @EUCommission It will not stop overnight, which is why I think our decisions must be focused on the long term. When we buy (either with our money or through our time using it) technology, our leaders should consider the long term effects and costs of both the technology itself and where it comes from. Absolutely, people with good ideas in Europe should be able to make those ideas happen. But making a worthwhile idea happen is not about speed.

@EUCommission This seems like the type of thing that makes it easier to start pointless ventures where we can only hope the thoughtlessness doesn't cause too much harm. We don't need founders, we need thoughtful leaders making long-term decisions.
