Yeah, even if we didn’t reuse, we could at least recycle. We got so into the craze of shoving computers in everything we stopped considering if we might be better off sticking to easily fixable tech for some things. My appliances are old as dirt, but parts are very affordable, there are 100s of youtube videos on how to fix them, and there are very few things that can break to begin with. That’s a far cry from the landfill of bricked smart fridges next to a factory somewhere.

As someone with a lot of time spent in Europe and the US over the last 30-40 years, it seems like Europe is often happy to jump on the bandwagon of America, they just want someone else to go first. I also think American music and cultural exports are spreading our cultural degeneracy around the world for a long time and Germans slurp it up. I really hope the better education system will immunize them against the worst of it, but the rise of the AfD makes me doubt.

Serious question: how do they avoid siphoning up data from states or countries with data protection regulations?
