Episode notes

In the mid 2000s french and german governments tried to launch something called quero Committed 400 million euros to launch a European search engine They said they wanted to build the airbus of search engines. So there's that argument and then the last thing i'll add is zendesk was one big company and never really bookings in european. I believe it's like really hard to do it there And then that in the comments rightly so I guess you could argue both ways, but someone else said well Don't you think it's good that they're looking out for employees not just the business owners? Which is a fair point of view as well.

The NIA boys discuss the Super Mario Bros Blockbuster, Nintendo IP, Europe vs. US Tech, and much more.
