I'm not sure what most of this means or how it could affect me, but you're saying that as an EU citizen, this is not something I should be overly concerned with?

It does, unsurprisingly.

I have to use Office 365 for work so there's no alternative but I think these ads are just for the non-enterprise version? I use Thunderbird for private use but tbf, I send like 2 emails a month at most. Are there many people that use outlook daily for private use?

I guess you write a bunch of gibberish, press execute and hope something happens?

I've seen your and other similar comments getting a lot of downvotes. Are people suggesting it's acceptable innocent people have to fear for their and their family's safety, because they choose to uphold the law?

It's funny you mention echo chambers because most of what I've seen here is just that.

You can't go into a community and disagree with something without getting downvoted into oblivion. The hivemind here is the same as it is on Reddit, the difference being is that more people are left-leaning on the political spectrum, but hivemind nonetheless.

I'm not disagreeing with you or most people here for being annoyed by everything being build around car usage. I just don't see it realistically change. You'd have to rebuild most cities from the ground up and invest ungodly amounts of money into several modes of public transport in every city. It just won't happen.

I've had to use public transport to get to a job I loved in a neighbouring city, due to not having a car at that point. Where a drive with the car would have taken me about 20 minutes one way, the bus+train combo I was forced to use was 1,5 hours including waiting times. It was so draining that I quit that job after 6 months.

If this is the choice you need to make, people will take that car every time because you can't rely on jobs being available within 20 minutes of walking or public transport, most cities aren't build to offer jobs+housing+shopping within a small radius for all the people living there.

I live in Scandinavia, in one of these walkable cities. Everyone has a car. Why? Because relying on public transport or walking/biking everywhere is not practical. It's just reality.

We have seen your previous pledges, we all know these are hollow promises.

Yes please! My right ear is driving me nuts, it's never ending :'(

Is that an accurate calculation? It seems like an insane amount, do you have a link to a paper or article? I'd love to share that with family and friends, many of them don't see the problem with an extra degree or 2 ...
