Safe to say the petition was a success! Now we will have to wait and see the EU's response to it.

What does the US have to do with anything I said?

    Nothing, but that doesn't stop people with Americabrain from making terrible comments here.

    The EU has a record of actually passing pro-consumer legislation such as the GDPR and forcing companies to use standardized cables. Claiming that nothing is going to happen because of lobbying doesn't hold up nearly as well as it does in the US

    Many countries in the EU already tax the rich. I mean, it could be better. It could be a lot better, and we still have right-wing types that try to destroy that positive element within the EU.

    But of all the countries that would benefit the most from heavily taxing the rich, it would be the US. And since the US has made itself the centre of all the world's attention, and the whole world still uses the USD as the primary exchange currency, anything that would shake up the economy of the US would shake up the economy of the world.
