Manual work like that should be more expensive than buying new.

I'm uninformed about the place were I live? I don't know what I smell every day, going to and back to work? You have quite some nerve ;)

Let me tell you some stories about illegal stuff.

A few days ago you could smell chemicals in the air every morning. In the middle of the city. There was a big scandal and they said UK exported their shit here. European style. Nothing really came off of it.

Money talks.

Maybe it's a joke to you. For me it's fine. People pay real money in order to have Apple quality. If all you need is "a computer", go ahead, there's plenty around any corner.

Any merchant of quality products would suffer greatly if everyone is allowed to sell stuff in its name.

I'm not sure what's so bad east of Poland but I'm not there.

However, as I said, with a small bribe you can take out any particle filter here. It's common knowledge.

Besides that, did those VW cars got banned from the streets? No! Does VW pay for my health issues? No! Those money are normal taxes to conduct business in Europe.

CO2 is fine. The particles from the exhaust are the problem. Did you ever smell an intersection with 20-so diesel cars in it?

How do you repair water damage? Look at the colour of the motherboard and declare it's fine?

Besides that, most Apple phones since 2016 or so are water resistant.

Maybe on paper they do. In reality you pay 20 Euro as bribe and you can get away with anything.

Then maybe they should strive to recycle instead to repair.

I live in my country and I know some things about it. Germany allows people to sell old cars in Eastern Europe. My country will take those cars without any limits. This is the Europe that I'm living in.

Crossing the street in the morning is an exercise of how long can you hold your breath.

The article says this is needed in order to reduce greenhouse emissions. I don't feel that's true. In my country in Europe nothing is done to reduce pollution from the cars and plastic usage. Year after year more products are built with plastic instead of glass or metal.

> Speaking to Euronews on the condition of anonymity

This should imply heavy fines. Creating panic while covered by anonymity is very easy and it brings no value to society. If officials later on try to bring real numbers nobody listens.

This article is full of shit. At least until when I stopped reading there were discussing about physical features that don't matter one bit for Twitter accounts.

Too little and too late. I feel like they lost a whole generation of people.

> population of 311, 591, 917,

Is this a thing? People write numbers like that?

listsfrin··on German banks are hoarding so many euros they need more vaults
Democratic in what sense? I don't think any country asks their citizens what about their financial issues.
