Aldi Lidl quality products
lolwut?
You have obviously never visited an American supermarket. European consumer protection has created a fairly high base level for quality. American supermarkets sell a lot of crap that Aldi & Lidl would not be allowed to sell in Europe.
The obvious solution is that those that design and operate the traffic light systems should not be the ones that profit from the fines.
Sorry, but the excuse that it's "not because they're gay but because they're speading gay propaganda" line is simply bullshit.
The law (which I do not necessarily support) forbids people from spreading a specific kind of propaganda to minors.
It's not a specific kind of propaganda. Any expression of a 'non-traditional sexuality", like holding hands in public, is considered "propaganda to minors".
Any kind of parade or demonstration has been outlawed.
Many companies lease cars to their employees. They could include some kind of battery-sharing deal in the contract. This may actually lower the price of owning the cars as they can be seen as part of the power system.
I don't now anything about Scandinavian taxes but over here in the Netherlands the excise tax is based on the amount of alcohol, not the untaxed price of the beverage. This makes cheap booze relatively more expensive. It's about 45 cents for a liter of wine.
For a 5 euro bottle of wine the tax would be 10% of the total, while the price of 50 euro bottle only includes 1% of tax.
(Note that there are other taxes involved besides the excise and one has to pay tax on the alcohol-tax).
What's the difference? Most supercomputers are in fact a cluster of more or less normal computer parts.
In The Netherlands supermarkets have been charging for plastic bags for ages.
However, most also provide cardboard boxes for free. They would have to pay to dispose of them so giving them away to customers is mutually beneficial.

Just like it's reasonable to expect that one day thieves will break into your house and steal your TV.
It doesn't make it right.
But China does not call itself "China". Zhong Guo means "the middle/central country".
That is like saying that the United States are a part of the United Kingdom as both refer to themselves as "United".
It must be just like Slashdotters watching IT-Crowd. They would hate it!
No, never in my life have I hurt an animal for my own entertainment. Sure, I've squashed bugs that were in the wrong place at the wrong time but never for entertainment.
Although I have to admit that my pet rabbit probably suffered more from my love than the flies suffered from your torture.
Another counter-point would be that I eat meat and in our society meat (and food in general) is more entertainment than nourishment, but that's stretching it.
So you think that money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of money? -- Ayn Rand
