“With each IT service our government moves to American tech giants, we become dumber and weaker,” Dutch MP Barbara Kathmann, author of four of the motions, told The Register. “If we continue outsourcing all of our digital infrastructure to billionaires that would rather escape Earth by building space rockets, there will be no Dutch expertise left.”

True that. For every nation. And not just with IT services.

But then at the same time those governments (talking from France, btw) do their best to prevent any initiative by making it a hassle to start a business, and by punishing the (unavoidable) failures that starting a business, and taking risks and taking the initiative means. We should encourage people to fail (and start over again), if we want to see a few of them succeed.
