it's like none of these retards really understand why the far right is growing after decades of being out of power and don't offer any solutions to the pressing issues(migration and housing) and are just whining about it

the working and middle class is mostly interested in keeping their standard of living and their 'wealth' and most leftie parties are not giving them that assurance. Worse, parties like the green party, give them the feeling, that they might loose their 'wealth' to battle climate change. So great fodder for populist rightoids.

What's your favourite socket type euronnas? I like Denmarks.

I think it should be uniform in all of Europe, I have only ever seen the green one but I have family in countries where its not used and its annoying having to adapt them when we got gifted something or someone wanted to use their whatever when visiting us. But maybe this is only annoying to other people with international families.

No. 2254045

>>2254010
I would like it too but realistically it's a massive undertaking for little reward. Adapters only cost like 3 euro. I'd like everyone to use the UK one since it's the safest but they're left the EU so it's kinda moot.

It is though? It's a misleading map. Most of Europe uses two pins - whether there is one extra hole in the socket doesn't matter.

Is it just here in Czechia or everywhere in Europe that potato chrisps are fucking expensive these days? I couldn't buy a pack the whole year because they aren't even on sale ever. Anybody knows why they are so damn expensive? Fucking Pom-bar s 3,2 euro wtf?! Lays 3,1 euro. That's a lot for a bag of air and oil. Just 2 years ago i bought big bag of Lays for 1,6 euro.
Is the EU trying to make people healthy this way or why did the shops decided chips, one of the cheapest food to make, would be a good idea to make expensice now?
I am going to bake my own now because i bought 1kg of potatoes for 0,4 fucking E like a normal person.

No. 2306779

>>2306759
Are you talking about the small or big bag of chips? The big ones are around 2 and 3 euros last time I checked my grocery store, and the one I picked was from that one fancy britbong brand so it was above 3€. I'm french for context, since prices might be different in each country.

>Is the EU trying to make people healthy this way

Each country has its own laws, I don't think the EU can impose anything to achieve this goal on EU countries. Free refills here have been banned for a few years now and I'm still mad and iirc there are additional taxes on sodas but that doesn't seem to be the case in other countries in western Europe.

No. 2306794

>>2306759
They're about 2€ here, they're getting a lot smaller and expensive. I just buy the no-branded ones at 1,50€ or so, I recommend you do make your own anon if you're able to, it tastes so much better and is cheaper.

No. 2306804

>>2306759
For me, everything is getting more expensive because they never lower the prices when they should. The quality also took a deep dive since COVID. At this point, it's almost cheaper to get french fries with a side of ketchup in a fast food than buying a bag of chips in a store. It's ridiculous.

No. 2307139

>>2306759
In italy it's the same. I think it's just inflation cuz of russia and ukraine's gay sex. One bag is nearly 3€ when it used to be 1,30€. I'm a fatass and this actually made me stop buying chips, like actually. Up until 2 years ago i'd spend 10€ and they'd last me for 2-3 days. Now for 10€ u get three bags. Ridiculous. I stopped buying them so i win in the end (i cant afford them anymore)

>Each country has its own laws, I don't think the EU can impose anything to achieve this goal on EU countries
They absolutely can. Tons of (consequenses of) laws you deal with everyday are EU law. If the EU wants to introduce sugar or fat taxes they can in theory do so and all EU countries would have to comply. EU countries have their own laws too but it's of lower rank than EU law.

In this case I'm pretty sure it's just inflation/shrinkflation though.

No. 2308557

>>2308542
I know all that but I assume laws about food would be less of a priority over things that are currently imposed all over the EU. I can already imagine everyone disagreeing on this kind of things when it's time to vote on a EU level. Which is why everytime I visit London I take advantage of free refills kek. So in theory it could happen but in practice it's hard to imagine something as drastic as making free refills illegal everywhere.

No. 2308602

>>2306779
Big bags but the small ones aren't far behind so they don't pay off even more. Sodas got a but more expensive too so maybe we have some extra taxes on them too, but i think we'll get the big sugar tax soon.
>>2306794
I made friens in the end, they were okay hehe
>>2307139
I stopped bying them too and i alsto stop buying sodas as much… thought i'll lose some weight surviving on bread and cherries from my epic tree but i'll still fat kek

In my family we always only bought no name chips and other snacks (unless we had friends over) and those are still ok price-wise imo.
Fresh food is much worse. Meat has always been insanely expensive and because I worked in a bakery I can't help but notice that the prices for bread and so on nearly doubled within just a few years.
The absolute worst however are fruits. I'm allergic to most local stuff like apples and nearly everything else is insane, e.g. 100 grams of berries can easily be over 4 or even 5 euros. Sometimes they have non-branded versions of fruit too but so often half of it is already rotten (Just last week I accidentally stuck my fingers into a completely mushy orange in a store…) Humans are supposed to eat multiple servings of that per day, how would that be possible? You either have to buy them frozen, which is not as good or you eat too little healthy food.

I'm lucky that i live near a lot of free berries so i always pick a ton and can and freeze them, but good to know that even fruit is expensice i never buy it so i wouldn't know.
Just yesterday they said on the news that flour will be expensive from now on because "grain is low quality and will be used to feed the cows" Like bicth how can grain be low qality, i literally live next to a filend with the fattest grains i've ever seen. Flour was the last cheap food.
