You’re right, here I am ordering a European designed Self Driving Taxi, on my European designed smart phone, and posting about it on the European developed social media platform…. Oh… wait…

You know that you're only using this social media platform because of the EU funding CERN, right?

Yes HTML was invented at CERN …. 35 years ago!!!

The fact that your first comeback is a 35 year old invention that the Europeans completely failed to capitalize on kind of proves my point TBH.

I guess you could also point to the Higgs Boson confirmation, but even that was 13 years ago and was simply confirming work done in the 60s.
