I think more about its success relative to Europe.
And the answer I give a European audience is the following.
You're the ones that decided to stay.
America promotes a very risk aggressive culture, and that is the people who initially came here were risk takers.

The most successful companies with the biggest exits tend to be on the west coast with the
The riskiest of the risk takers kept, you know, go west young man and risk starvation or scurvy over the Rockies during a winter trying to get to the West Coast.
And I just don't think it's any accident that within a seven mile radius of San Francisco International Airport, you have exits that are greater than the GDP of Germany just in the last ten years.

There's beer gardens there that also have trampolines, so there's kind of something for everybody.
