Most of them are cheap though. Like Spotify at ~$10 is nothing, you can barely get a beer for that in the city these days. That's far cheaper than you used to pay for CDs!
Netflix really took the piss though - with the charging for no ads, HD and multiple screens. Then it gets to like $30 a month which just isn't worth it with the diminishing library, so I cancelled that and use Amazon Prime Video for now as it's still cheap in my country (and has no ads for now).
This will continue until Europe resolves the migration crisis, and deals with the growing insecurity and the collapse in living standards.
GDP isn't state-owned - we aren't a Communist state (thankfully) - and any attempt to get close to that would destroy the GDP.
But people can actually use Waymo right now - that's the biggest proof you need.
ESA doesn't yet have re-usable rockets period.
The Falcon 9 is a decade ahead, nevermind Starship.
And now look at Neuralink's achievements too.
At least they have it. It's incredible to see videos of the FSD on highways, and Waymo robot taxis in the USA.
I wish we had technology in Europe.
