These fines are the definition of “Fuck around and find out”

The only concerning thing is that these companies think they stand above the laws

Yes

Who cares what the PiS Idiot without a majority in his own country says

Lol, the Audacity to complain about “extraterritorial regulations that stifle their innovation”
Those morons should be banned until they comply and pay up or fined much much more the next time, for them thinking they stand above the laws of foreign sovereign states.

Lol, nice try.

Also nearly no one pays Sticker Prices in the US.

They have to put a ridiculous price tag on it, in order for the Pharmacy Benefit Managers of the insurance companies to “negotiate” a “discount” (and for this service they earn a commission)

sadly Germany has fucked the pharma market over

What are you talking about?

Do you mean Lauterbachs stupid secret prices, which wasn’t totally a corrupt gift in exchange of Eli Lilly promising to build a plant in Germany?

That train has left the station.

They can pound sand

It certainly did work out in many countries, which transitioned from it to Marriage for all in the end

From a German perspective he awfully seems like a Tory

No, in Spain and France they have now too some Mandatory Reservation Regional Services.

And their shitty low cost subsidiaries also don’t participate in Interrail

Like I’ve said, it’s a disease and it seems contagious

Unless you travel to countries in which the railways suffer from a disease that makes them think they are Airlines. (Italy, Spain, France) They take every joy out of it, with the mandatory reservation bullshit (I mean, the upcharge itself is annoying, but what really makes my blood boil is that you need to reserve every train 2-4 weeks in advance)

Unfortunately we can’t throw them out thanks to the Slovakians voting again for the corrupt asshole Fico, just when the Polish got rid of the PiSs-Party.

Can we please designate them as unconstitutional organisations and ban them from operating in the EU?

The best thing for an EuroStack would be if the EU wouldn’t stop giving the NLnet Foundation money to fund awesome OpenSource Projects like WireGuard etc…

Well the stupid dance ban on Karfreitag is due to “not hurting religious feelings”. There are also some movies banned to be screened in the cinema and TV.

It’s really ridiculous in the year 2025 and seems similar to some restrictions in theocratic regimes.

I guess that’s what he meant

What does Noise Pollution have to do with Theocracy?

If your shitbox is not complying with security and emission regulations, the police will impound it.

And if you’re attempting illegal street races on public roads you’ll be punished way harder. (Justified)

Because every year people die because some morons decided they want to have a race with 200km/h+ through a city.

E Wie Einfach

Yes, it’s annoying as fuck.

Especially the motorcycles with their 75-IQ-Riders who take the the noise cancelling out of their exhaust because they think everybody wants to hear their shitty engine.

I’m very happy for everyone of them who gets busted

Well then he shouldn’t cut Science Budgets too

I don’t know about schools in Spain, but in France you can’t easily leave school premises during school hours

Nowhere in this article is indicated that these changes are only for elementary schools.

And you go to school until you’re 17/18 years old. It’s perfectly reasonable for them to have a tea or a coffee
