crazy to think how American consumers are steadily getting great benefits from European laws.

The EU showing us what cooperation in good faith can actually achieve

it's the germans really.

the german mentality is very different when it comes to economically exploiting its own citizens.

"Loss leaders are already banned in France and Germany, so the Commission might want to harmonise policy throughout the EU. Supermarkets are worried by the plan. Stores such as Tesco and Asda spend billions on loss leaders to get shoppers through the door"

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Germans and Scandinavians are known for having very pragmatic beliefs. They don't like ambiguity and there are certain words like "maybe" that have no equivalent in their languages.

Right. Wild America is just corporate slavery. They also made android and apple make a universal charger as well.

Breh, iphones are water proof. My point is that with removable batteries, the phones won't be as waterproof.
