UK's elite hardware talent is being wasted

I lived and worked in both countries and I feel like the UK is in a worse situation than France nowadays.

It's hard to admit for French citizens but the EU significantly props up the French economy and reduces the structural issues of the country.

EU meaning the rest of the EU, Germany included but everybody else is contributing to the common market

Germany provides about the same contribution to EU GDP as California and Texas do to the US.

The top 8/51 states(+dc) generate 50% of US GDP, the top 3/27 EU generate EU.

The bottom half of EU states generate just 9% of EU GDP, but then the bottom half of US states generate 14%

I have also lived in both and I agree with you. The UK is a lot worse.

At least France has some things going for it, healthcare is still good, unemployment benefits are good, etc.

The UK has literally nothing to show for.

Arguing about which sinking ship is going down faster.

When in reality neither are actually sinking.
