The article chooses to take a metric that you usually do not see much: GDP per employee and per hours worked, at purchasing power standards

There is a lot of great innovation coming from the EU. The development of Lemmy is for example funded by the EU public sector.

How does Lemmy affect GDP though, how many work places has Lemmy created? The article is about economics, after all. And what's the actual innovation? It's based on a W3C standard and is essentially a clone of reddit. There's no innovation.
