At least the EU protects consumers' rights, which is a breath of fresh air and it is something to be appreciated. Not going to lie.
Especially in contrast to the US who completely stopped pretending to support consumers.
Let's hope it stays that way, now that Fiona Scott Morton was appointed "Chief Economist of EU’s Directorate-General for Competition".
Are they objectively doing this to help consumers though, or is there another reason and it just so happens to benefit consumers.
They are doing it to help consumers and protect the environment by forcing modularity and recyclable components.
Sure buddy. EU politicians are just absolute saints compared to the rest of the world, and there's nothing in it for them. Jesus.
If I could replace my government with the EU, I would not hesitate.
Don't be salty because we've got a working democracy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ sure, it isn't perfect, but it's not all about the money here. Being a politician on that level already pays quite nicely without being bought by a company or two. And voters have a lot of power over who gets into the EU parliament, so a lot of them really do represent the common folks.
