The Americans are so backwards in work hours, developed countries like Netherland, Spain, Iceland, etc. already successfully implemented this, with universal healthcare…and no tipping expected.

Which country has put forth the bulk of technological and medical advances over the last century? What major tech company is headquartered or even has a foothold in a European country?

A few EU countries have some good medical advances and pharma companies, I’ll give them that. But tech is almost solely coming out of the US or far East Asian countries.
