The entire point of a Chromecast is to connect to the internet. It's stupid that this happened, but it's perfectly reasonable to connect to the Internet here.

Actually, that's exactly the point of "act fast" as described in the text.
If you assume that many will sell their cars, you also assume prices will drop. That means, it's better to sell now, when prices are still somewhat high. It's the same mechanism as in any stock crash.
The fact that we're discussing literal space heater output levels for a fucking graphics card is insane enough.
They won't be parents for long, at least.
Company cars are resold after a few years. Car rental companies for example resell often after a year. Since companies buy in bulk, they get rebates and can resell almost new cars for relatively cheap.
That means, a list price is 45k realistically means something like 30k for you and me. Still expensive, but manageable.
The left arm is not the right arm.
At least in Germany: company cars.
If you get a company car for personal use, you have to pay a bit more taxes, but it's much cheaper than buying new. The result is that 70% of all new car sales are company cars, and most of them are relatively expensive.
That's the new normal, unfortunately.
My Nexus 4 was perfect.
With the amount of resources that are spent every year on anything from building schools to distributing clean water and vaccines, saying "we don't give a shit" is a bit of a stretch.
Then look a bit closer.
Who do you think drills the holes? European contractors.
Who pays for the staff working in the schools? Not Europe.
There is a ton of money being poured into development aid, absolutely. But that money is mostly wasted on administration and vanity projects.
At the same time, Africans get hardly any working visa for Europe. It would help dramatically to have a few million Africans working legally and safely in Europe and sending back billions in remissions. Instead, poor bastards have to risk their lives on overcrowded dingies and get sunk by the Greek coastguard (not an exaggeration, there's video evidence).
Another point: coffee. The real value add in coffee is roasting. But roasted coffee has very high tariffs, so african countries only export cheap, unroasted coffee. There's no reason for that - except that this might lead to cheaper coffee and could undercut European roasters.
Of course it is true for the rest too.
You think I'm writing this from a US perspective? I've never been even on that continent. I'm in Germany and this is 100% what is happening here.
I think you still didn't understand.
Yes, our lives are better, but the many Danish books are bought by (figuratively) having less arabic books. Denmark has next to nothing, just like Germany or Austria. But with cheap energy from the global south and cheap manufacturing in third countries they could get ahead quite a lot.
Yes, Spain got rid of its dictatorship, but that's been 50 years ago and Franco's grave is still a place of worship.
The EU is only inwardly inclusive. It doesn't give a shit about Africa for example. Ukraine also only became relevant when the EU proper was threatened.
What are you even trying to express here? That's just childish phrases glued together.
