Not everything revolves around the VAT, bro, but it's useless arguing about this with an americuck.

>>715741048
Half a percent, and it comes with an acre of land, central AC and real pipes so i dont need a shit bucket next to my toilet too.i know those things are scarce for homes in Europe but you just have to make due with your cuck shed.

Just buy your games like normal people and don't try to hack your console, and if you hack into your console, just don't play online. Pretty simple.

>>715742018
switch 2 has a build in system to freeze the system after a certain amount of time if it has not been connected to the internet to check with nintendo server.

When the US was doing that we got transistors, radios ,cars, rockets to the fucking moon.

At least is not as bad as sony, once they find you are hacking they delete your account and all your games are lost

idk it's not that interesting, this seems about par for the course, europe makes proper consumer protections, us doesn't. that's why something like skg actually has a path to success in europe but they're not even trying here.

This is the reason why we have free healthcare, welfare to pay for housing and food and all sorts of free services for the benefit of the citizens.

You're literally paying for it, and probably overpaying for it.

>how American's shop when none of the things they buy have the right price on them.
By rounding up heavily. Yes it's annoying and insulting desu. America is a great country but the sales tactics around here are designed to take advantage of idiots. I know of no other country that frames a purchase as somehow practically giving you money. I might spend less compared to another place but I'm not saving, I'm goddamn spending. And don't get me started on bundle tactics.

Yeah we have at max 10 ish percent depending on the state. Most states are around 8%
Some states have no sales tax.

Not fucking 25%

>>715744945
Half your salary goes to property tax and tips. If you ever have to call an ambulance you will literally go bankrupt.

>>715743868
I don't think either of the systems is good.
Public hospitals that you pay instead of getting "for free" is probably the best compromise.
Or private hospitals being bullied by the goverment to keep the prices fair.

I have worker's rights

our children are several orders of magnitude less likely to be murdered in school
my president is not a pedophile rapist

I'll happily pay an extra 21% for shit, everything else on the list is more important
