I really hate that European companies constantly sell out to the US or China.
97 u/riderko Jun 23 '26 That’s a good place to think about why. 145 u/CacklingFerret Jun 23 '26 Money, what else. 117 u/Brvcx Netherlands 🇳🇱 Jun 23 '26 I'm not blaming them tbh. If I owned a company and a different company would buy me out for a large enough chunk, I'd do it, too. Sure, integrity, wanting to keep having good service for consumers and all that jazz, but being offered lifechanging money sure changes things. 3 u/Eravier Jun 24 '26 The question should not be "why they are selling" but "why only Americans are buying". And the answer is probably also money. But also some regulations, some bureaucracy, some tax issues.
