America's cultural ideal has been the self-made entrepreneur while Europe's was rooted in aristocracy, with status inherited rather than earned. Europe's inheritance laws show this divide.
Many European countries have "forced heirship" laws that require people to leave 50-75% of their estates to their children. Want to leave the majority of your wealth to charity? not allowed. Your kids are estranged from you, struggling with addiction, or irresponsible? still required to give them the money. Want your kids to avoid a life of entitlement? tough.
Incredibly, these laws look back at transfers made during your lifetime. If you have 3 children in France, you're required to bequeath them a minimum of 75% of your estate. Because French law calculates this based on your assets at death plus all lifetime gifts, giving away more than 25% of your wealth while alive means your heirs can legally sue to force charities or foundations to return the funds. This has limited the development of the nonprofit sector on the continent.
The cultural gap between an entrepreneurial society and one shaped by dynastic wealth is enormous. If you make it yourself, you tend to want your kids to do the same. If you inherit it, the primary goal is protecting the estate for the next gen.
Countries like Spain, France, and Italy legally entrench family dynasties, while America has historically sought to limit them through estate taxes. The result is not only a weaker culture of philanthropy and civil society in Europe, but also less economic dynamism.

Agentic voice AI will be a major theme soon...
Twilio $TWLO just reported a 60% YoY increase in its voice AI revenue in their latest earnings report.
TWLO popped 24% Friday on that news.
$BAND reported that its voice solutions grew 12% YoY during its latest earnings call... with AI‑influenced usage called out as a tailwind.
BAND is up 86% in just two days since its report.
$FIVN also reported earnings last week.
It reported a 68% YoY increase in AI revenue thanks it part to strong voice AI demand.
FIVN spiked 29% on Friday on that report.
$RNG is another software company with AI voice solutions.
These include an AI Receptionist / AI phone agent for automating customer interactions and handling missed calls.
RNG broke on Friday due to the TWLO report. It finished the day up 12% and recorded its highest daily close in over three years.
RNG is set to report earnings on Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised they too report strong AI voice demand.
Soundhound $SOUN - the best AI voice stock - pure play is also reporting earnings on Thursday.
I also expect SOUN to report strong demand for its AI voice solutions.
In fact, the market is already starting to price this in...
SOUN popped 20% on Friday in sympathy with Twilio's strong report.

@mmpadellan @NotAvgLiberal You are really a bad person to spread lies.

@allenanalysis No one is above the law. If they committed a crime then appropriate punishment needs to occur. I am happy for each to prove themselves innocent.

@allenanalysis 100 people vote, 57 voted to take rights away from the other 43. And no longer has representation. That is not democracy, that is tyranny.

@DemzDeliver OK but you had nothing to to do with the weath of Minnesotans. This was created way before your inauguration to your position.

Jen Psaki was fangirling over self proclaimed MN angry man Chris Ostrouschko but has been completely silent after the violent thug assaulted a woman on camera. No comment @jrpsaki?
