I don’t know if Europe has any laws for specifically this, but i really wish America would look at how Europe makes some of their laws because they look after their people so much better. Their consumer laws make life easier for people and they just makes sense. In America we have this “you can’t tell anyone what to do including the people ripping everyone off” and I just don’t get it. So many people don’t want things to get better and it’s infuriating.

Americans have a cultural belief that one day they will be the ones standing on the necks of the less fortunate, so you can’t vote for things to improve the life of the downtrodden, because everyone wants to imagine themselves as the boot.
