  • I suppose a percentage based on multiple factors could work. Like, just spitballing numbers here.

    • 50% would be based off of ownership. If the ownership is completely european, the product gets 50%
    • 50% would be based off of manufacturing location. If 80% of the product is from Europe, then the product gets 80% of 50%, so 40%.
    • Final score, 90% european. Label the product with this percentage, and you’ll possibly have an advantage over your competitor if your percentage is higher.

    It would however be quite expensive to make the documentation for every single product sold, but Denmark already requires something more convoluted and detailed with construction materials and environmental impact, so I suppose it wouldn’t be impossible to implement. Just a matter of will.

    Edit. Fucked up the percentage stuff a bit, made it make sense.


  • Some of them are, sure, but the people working and producing the products in a different country will also pay taxes to that country.

    Even if we ignore the workers’ taxes, if I was to buy an ingredient for my product from an american company, they will pay taxes from the money I paid them. This is why what Salling is doing is at best a bit useless and at worst completely misleading. I will have no clue wether or not something has been imported and repackaged, had ingredients imported, or is 100% european produced with the labeling. In essense all it tells me, is that the person who sold the final product is situated in Europe in some capacity.










  • Sure they’re increasing their defense spending. But not really in the interest of USA.

    USA wanted european defense spending to increase for multiple reasons:

    1. To funnel european money into the american military industrial complex.
    • This isn’t happening right now. Europeans are prioriticing european contractors.
    1. To fight in american wars of agression around the world.
    • Fat fucking chance when USA is threatening wars of agression against NATO countries.
    1. To defend against Russia.
    • With Putin owning Trump, this is now against Trump’s interests.
    • While the threat from Russia is pretty big, they’re not in any way in a position to fight anything bigger than Ukraine.

    That’s been my biggest problem with the pretty low number of americans I have actually met. They’ve all been so fucking obnoxious and look-at-me-I’m-better-because-'Murica.

    Not just that but the lies? Holy shit the amount of lies I’ve had to listen to. American dude told me he just kinda woke up in my european city after having been drinking and doing drugs. When he came to he realised he’d bought a house after landing. Told me he was going to be mayor in my city because he thought most danes would really like his american values. Like in what fucking world can a person be so fucking delusional to think anyone would believe that? That’s not how any of this fucking works! Thankfully that’s the worst one I’ve met.
