In the nineties I had a friend working for a company that bought a lot of old Soviet geophysical data.
It needed some very special transcription technology but once in the clear and fed to modern 3D seismic software it revealed a lot more than the original reports gave.
Retaining old reports is nice, retaining old raw data even nicer.
Now I appreciate the US concept of distance is, especially for those from the mid-west, different to that of someone living in say Luxembourg or Belgium but to call the moon close is a bit of a stretch.
I mean, even with your low fuel prices such a 480,000 mi round trip might get expensive...
UH, many of us Europeans are pretty sure it's Amazon that is threatening the existence of their own employees and by consequence, the future of the company in the EU.
A company that underpays their staff lowers their value and their own value within the national economy, if they close down there's very little, if any, of value lost.
As I replied a minute ago in another tread:
An important difference is in the EU no-one forces you to join a union, there is total Freedom of Association.
This meaning closed or union shops are illegal.
Unions can be on a company basis but are more likely based on a branch of industry, they usually subscribe to a national labour 'umbrella' organisation or federation of unions that'll do the dealings on a national political level, call it lobbying.
These national federations are again members of a pan-European group that'll do the lobbying in Brussels.

While in the US there are still places where closed or union shops are legal and in other states people remember the bad days of closed shop.
Very much living examples are the performing industry and the major sports leagues.
The US claims there is no obligation to ban this sort of racketeering yet it signed and ratified international labour treaties guaranteeing the 'Freedom of Association'
And that's the way it is in Europe in general and Germany in this specific case.
Closed shop or union shops are unknown and would be illegal because it would contravene the freedom of association, on the other side the employers have their freedom to ignore the unions and Amazon is testing that path.
Hmm, the Amazon employees have given the company plenty of time to get on the negotiating table with a fair offer, this isn't something of the last few weeks or even months.
Your last sentence is the gist of what was at the end of WWII known as the Marshal Plan, the then-USA figured they could keep going back to a feudal Europe once every generation to sort the infighting or help them set up an economy to support themselves and become a great trading partner for the US.
It's fairly obvious isn't it? If a job can't pay you a living wage it is an unproductive job by that metric alone.
On a national scale it would result in a section of commerce and industry that's -by design- unproductive.
See, what's different in the German (Rhinelandic) model compared to the American (Anglo-Saxon) model is the Germans don't really admire some company owner walking off with lots of money but leaving the support of the impoverished masses to society or the church.
If it had drifted in it would have a rather non-circular (eccentric) orbit.
And because this planet seems to have a regular orbit we can consider it formed at the same time it's sun was formed, that's what solar systems typically do.

Given how close the moon is,

Now that doesn't mean a lot of Europeans are happy with the recent (last ~15 years) US government's politics re. their 'friends'.

So what you are telling us is the US hasn't changed it's government since the advent of Ronny Reagan (and his partner Maggie Thatcher).

Not that there are companies going out of business and leaving you to dry.

A very valid and on-topic question, he who modded this Flamebait should grow up.

Yes indeed, for Danish top earners the cumulative tax is about 72%.
And then there is the roughly 198% tax on cars...
But all together, as a nation they are doing fine.

Because of the young age of this solar system there would not have been much time for this interaction to have effect.
I really hate it when I have had something on my 'to visit' list and then find out I've waited too long...
