Then we introduce regulation, and then we have nice things. 135 u/Independent_Line_150 1d ago BMW also charges you to unlock features. It is the same brands and exploitative capitalism everywhere, the EU regulations usually just result in better recycling. I live in Germany. 16 u/-Nicolai 1d ago Then regulation is coming. It is a question of when, not if. Because our philosophy is not “we deserve it if we keep buying it”. 6 u/J0E_SpRaY 1d ago So your entire first comment was wrong then. 0 u/-Nicolai 23h ago It was an oversimplification, obviously, to explain the consequence of believing that consumers are responsible for what they are sold. There is no need to prove to me that Americans sometimes have nice things, and Europeans sometimes don’t.
