How much does this actually help?
Are we really at the point where we're making slogans out of... Charging Cable? How much does any of this actually impact?
Does Europe even make anything besides ideology and good PR that libs love?
What phone does Europe even make? Fairphone? But that's made in China
Then in Germany you have Gigaset ...
Of course it's nice to have a standardized port and removable battery, but nobody is buying these phones. And there's worthless plastic crap everywhere in the supermarkets, every holiday they make more plastic crap to sell to you there's more plastic crap in the grocery stores than there's food nowadays.
The eu doesn't do anything but protect the capitalists of Europe and the occasional minor trade regulations that kinda help people like this.
They literally need this or else people would begin to realize that it doesn't help them
I mean the whole travel/live wherever within the EU is nice too. Of course no borders would be nicer, but you know, it's nice.
That still is only there to benefit the capitalists of Europe, especially the larger economies as it makes brain drain from places like eastern Europe easier and faster
It literally makes it harder for the economies of poorer EU countries to hold onto skilled workers
Yeah I am aware how capitalist systems exist to enforce capitalism and all actions in the end serve that goal. If everything was rainbows and gumdrops I'd appreciate not having any borders at all much more of course. But things being what they are, I am happy about being able to travel and live without a visa. Hopefully that will function as the groundwork for something better some day.
As it is right now it is nice for what it is
I don't know where you are in the EU, but at least from where I am, this "freedom" to travel and especially work wherever has never applied to anyone apart from the ruling class and labor aristros/nepo babies/upper middle class.
