The WEF don't know ****
According to a report released by the World Economic Forum, the United States has lost its position as the world's primary engine of technology" and moved down the global tech ranking to seventh place.
Blamed on the "deterioration of the political and regulatory environment," the U.S. now finds itself behind the likes of Denmark, Sweden, Singapore, Finland, Switzerland and the Netherlands.
While I have no doubt that the United States' regulatory environment is harming the tech sector (as well as other members of the business community), I refuse to believe that Switzerland is kicking America's ass vis-à-vis computers and ****.
As the Nigh Seen Creeder opined a few months ago, the World Economic Forum's pronouncements need to be taken with a huge grain of salt.
