Given how absurdly efficient shipping stuff in container ships is, I don't believe its actually worse. Specially if the company can just save money by being slightly more conservative in terms of how much they manufacture in the first place.
Sure, let's conveniently not count the horrifically-polluting trucks in <3rd world country with zero environmental regulations> to distribute them across the interior.
You're acting like companies enjoy flushing money down the toilet by making extra stuff. They are already making what they believe are the optimal number of products they believe they can sell. You think EU bureaucrats know their business better than they do?
The point is to change what companies believe is the optimal number of products. Right now companies produce what they expect to sell, with errors in both directions being valued equally. In the future they will have to produce only what they are certain they can sell.
The point is increasing the cost of over-production. Its not about the EU knowing better, but imposing a higher price for waste. Not sure how you are confused about that.
Its simply impossible for most people to go to university, only enter the job market by 25 retiring by 65 and then live 20 years on retirement when you have an increasingly aging population at the same time.
> I don't see the millenials in old age receiving any better healthcare as boomers are receiving right now.
Questionable, the medical field is progressing. Also we have many things like smoking that are much less common in millennials and even less after that. That should lead to longer health.
Again, all progress in medicine goes into private sector even in most of the EU countries, or is available only through some form of bribes and connections. I read about the progress in medicine the same as I read science fiction about extraterrestrial life and faster-than-light travel because the only healthcare available to me is 100 EUR for 5 minutes of doctor's attention.
They go first to private medicine, like literally every new innovation. But new technology is consistently getting rolled out. Late live quality has increased. Caner 5 year survival rates have increased. Live expectancy has generally increased.
The claim that out of 20+ countries only 5-6 are not totally corrupt and its impossible to get a doctor visit is simply not true.
Without acquaintances and bribes you learn about your cancer at the "you'll die in one month" stage.

Easily 20 countries. Certainly every post Communist country. Developed countries [1] eagerly join the shameful club given a slightest opportunity. Countries with generally good healthcare have regions with post Communist level of fraud and corruption, e.g. former eastern Germany in Germany, southern Italy. Covid era was specifically unprecedented negative impulse.
No the fundamental problems was the econmists at the time believe in fixed exchange rates and that's why the got suckered into Bretton woods despite it being a crappy deal, specially for Britain. I didn't help that the American at the meeting was a Soviet spy who wanted to destroy Britain.
And Bretton woods solved nothing at all, it was a system that took a very long to implment, much longer then people think and was unstable almost as soon as it was implemented.
Because this isn't the sort of problem some tech bro entrepreneur can solve. Its a systematic problem in the whole supply chain that end with consumer demand. And this is harder to do, once that whole supply chain has been destroyed. You need to shift the whole culture in terms of what they value and how it works.
Good cheese is hard to like, and even here we are judgmental. People who buy the cheap Emmentaler from the supermarket vs the more fancy one from the cheese shop. Most American 'swiss cheese is garbage' sorry. Then the 'Mild' here isn't that good.
I would watcher most American literally have never in their live ever seen how 'rezent' Emmentaler is supposed to look. Honestly its hard to get even in Switzerland.
A proper 'rezent' Emmentaler literally has a thick salt crust inside of the holes.
This is typical even in Switzerland, and I wager its better then most 'Swiss' you get in the US:
But to get that, you are going to have to store it a long time, and that reflects in the price. The stuff sold in the US is usually stored much shorter.
