How is it that billion dollar tech companies haven't infiltrated the EU leadership yet?
The "EU leadership" changes every few years, through something called democracy.
You cant just pay off 1 person
Sure, but that explains nothing.
It doesn't really change, the same people are voted over and over and over like in most democracies. To some extend the EU is even antidemocratic, since people don't really have a saying in who's the president.
They have. Why do you think they are currently trying to make open source illegal?
I honestly don't know much about the EU outside of the consumer friendly headlines.
Yeah, thats the reality of much of politics. Headlines make up most people's world view.
