Interesting how so much negative sentiment creeps out when there's a true European competitor to the big US tech companies.


They're Swiss, so while technically in Europe, they are not in the EU. Maybe they're closer than the US, but they're still a foreign tech company in the EU.


Switzerland has a unique deep integration with the EU even though it is not a member. It is not like the UK.


Yeah, there's another thread showing a similar trend. In a strange way it's making Trump's incessant nonsensical big-upping of himself and the US as-a-whole make sense in a cultural context that I hadn't thought was as pervasive as maybe it is. It explains that polls still show 30% support.

I don't think I'll ever be not surprised by this.


Due to some comments the CEO made regarding a few Trump decisions there are a number of people that believe that the company supports the current US government and are looking for any link they can to prove it.
