Lot of people misunderstanding just how fuckin strict anti-monopoly laws are in parts of Europe
You know how we all laugh at American internet prices? That's only one example of how much more Freedom©®™ we actually have
Oh boy, German internet prices would like a word.
All jokes aside, it's gotten way better the past few years.
But I'm still paying for texts. Imagine that.
We don't talk about Germany
Germanistan needs help though, please talk about us. :(
American Internet companies are fucking disgusting.
Their speed rates are just throttling speed, yet just this year they got rid of my 300mbs plan ($80/month) and forced me into a 500mbs plan ($110/month!!!!) without saying a word. I had it on auto pay and just happened to check to make sure it's still going through...
That should be fucking illegal, but this is America: land of the fee home of the billionaire.
Your bread is 6 to 10 times more expensive... Bread.
How people took this so wrong is beyond me. Obviously I mean US bread is the expensive one.
Well at least it's actually bread?
Where on propaganda earth did you get that idea?
Cool subreddit of people posting what's in their shopping cart.
So, your claim has absolutely no basis in fact, just something you read on Reddit? A quick check online suggests that supermarket bread prices in the US are pretty much the same as most European countries (apart from the fact the US bread couldn't be sold in the EU because it would be classed as cake due to the sugar content)
Plus looking at artisanal bread from independent bakeries, it's the US whose prices are far higher
So do you have any other sources for European bread being "6 to 10 times more expensive"?
I'll just pop up to the bakery and get my €1, freshly handmade organic baguette while you're looking
You surely got your feathers up. I'm from Europe.
You wrote an essay about something so meaningless.... While completly missing the point. I can't be bothered to argue about why you're wrong on pcgaming sub.
