I left the US for Germany almost 2 years ago now. I’m a software/aerospace engineer. It was like time traveling to the future in some ways, worker right are way better here and 6 weeks of vacation has cemented that I’ll never go back.

Maybe the only thing that matters is if a company is founded, owned, and operated exclusively or primarily within the EU borders - but I’d wager there is value in this group including some instances of non-EU companies that are good services, not-evil, and don’t have EU alternatives that are at least not-evil.
