step 1: kill all innovation with decades of anticapitalist, antitech policies step 2: be sad that the US dominates tech step 3: finance massive top down plans to build a "European cloud" step 4: watch it fail embarrassingly (see the "European Google")https://www.wired.co.uk/article/europe-gaia-x-cloud-amazon-google …
