Scumbria, RE: The UK has the highest energy prices in the world, and turns out just as many microprocessors as the US. Some of the most successful startups in history are in the UK- ARM, Element 14, etc.

Your argument doesn't hold any water.


Compare our economic growth with the UK. You could pick just about any period of time you want over a pretty long period of time.

I never precluded opportunity from existing anywhere else, nor did I say that our way was the only way. But you're implying that the economic opportunity in the UK is superior to the opportunity here, which is pretty absurd when you look at the historical evidence.

Fill up the pitcher with water.

When did ARM start making processors?
