Pindar Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 As much as I retain a nostalgia in national achievement and pride (see Olympics) I see that the "keep it in the family" national pride over home grown businesses and innovation have long since bolted. Why would ARM be any different? Its market is not loyal to or dependent on the brain power that created it being from one particular geographic area and is increasingly likely to be sourced from anywhere that can muster the talent. Retaining the right talent to maintain and grow a business is key, irrespective of whether that talent resides in one particular geographic area or not. What's really more important is equal opportunity in education and training for youngsters in the UK to be in a position to contribute to such a business. Unfortunately I don't think this is the case any longer as the hard engineering and scientific subjects are no longer championed by schools and universities.

Facebook is a dead platform with no one generating real content, hence the move to emotional vitriol. Do you have an URL for Emotional Vitrol? I actively dislike Facebook - so this alternative must be a significant improvement. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
