None of them are going to pull out.

It's not like if we were the UK.

You know, if the UK really pissed off Apple or Google, they might pull out of the UK.

They might.

But they won't pull out of the EU.

Surely, surely.

Yeah, no, exactly.

It's kind of fascinating.

And to go back to what Puzder, the US ambassador to the EU, was saying, he was trying to make an argument that over time, Europe becomes a poorer, kind of a second-rate place.

Now, it's really difficult to kind of weigh up

to really, to really compare properly because the way the Americans compare it, they just, they look at things like GDP and they look at things like that.

And he was trying to make the argument that like Mississippi was a higher growth, a higher economic growth place than almost anywhere in Europe.

I've been to Mississippi several times, you know, I don't know if Mississippi would really compare to Amsterdam or Paris or Munich.

I'm sorry, you know,

Yeah, exactly.

You know, I think there's more to it than, than GDP growth.

And also if you break your arm in Mississippi and yeah, you don't, you don't have healthcare and you go to the hospital and you face a bill of, you know, $30,000 and you have to sell a kidney to, but anyway, that's an entirely different podcast, I'm afraid.

And I've had actually many founders on this podcast who have made that point exactly.

And in good faith, they're trying to build businesses.

And what they pick out, the problems they pick out, it's not even that it's a particular regulation.
