Yup. As a French dude I don't see how what they say is true. Typical teenager bullshit to me. You can get much better food for less. On top of the list, students have access to unviersity restaurant where based on income you can pay 1 to 3.30 euros for a complete meal.
I guess these guys also spend a lot on bars in the evening.
I bought some leatherman multitool 10 years ago. It was purposed as a EDC complementary tool while I was a volunteer fireman. I used it once to cut a small wire and it cracked.
So... That's it.
Also, think about Opinel and Mora for cheap cool knives.
I think it is an interesting subject.
I can't answer for all of us, but I can ask another question.
Before USA became a superpower and took over the world, we were many countries and we were at war most of the time.
Now, EU started in the '90s. It delivered some good points, yet our countries still defend their own interests. (see Denmark, fighter jets and spying for instance. No specific hate to my danish friends) German people défend their industry before anything else, Luxembourg fucks up with taxes, etc.
Then, will our future really be built on a very centralized EU ? Have we really a common identity and interest ? All I can see is every country backstabbing another.
So, should we go on ideolazing US culture ? Of course not. But I don't see a European culture in front of that. I 'd prefer we cherish our particularities but I don' t think european countries count for '' 1 '' voice.
The design couldn't be more german (I like the pens)
It has become such a big conglomerate.
Honestly, as a French guy it seems weird to me that PSA Peugeot Citroën, become part of a so-called-dutch huge company.
But in the end, if they maintain jobs in Europe and do good vehicles, why not !
What's happening (buy from EU) is good. Not because we want to punish US, but because we realize we have not built anything that can compete...
It's like we accepted to throw our money to US firms for decades
