The European Commission on Tuesday set out a plan in a bid to take the lead in the metaverse - shared virtual worlds accessible through the internet - and to prevent Big Tech dominating a nascent sphere that could boost economic growth.

    Bombardier sold to Airbus?

    And the EU did do something about it, for 17 years

      Bombardier sold their commercial aviation industry (aka the CSeries). Now they’re only focused on private jets.

        Which they sold to Airbus, which is why Boeing went for them I guess.

          Boeing didn’t want competition in the US domestic market. They thought they could squeeze out Bombardier, but weren’t expecting that to come around and have the A220 get sold to Airbus (who are now doing really well with the A220, since the A220 is legitimately a really nice plane).
