If it’s a historical monument you’re stuck with period windows installed by approved contractors (or yourself if you manage to source glass that wouldn’t get you fines for not respecting the historical accuracy the State wants). There’s a reason there’s so many ruins, the rules are insane.

If you’re a rich enough hotel magnate you can buy off the people writing the compliance shit and/or the inspectors, I guess.

Ursula going beyond her mandate again?

Maybe she should start being held accountable, she’s done enough damage.

Free software activists in Europe have been saying for decades that it’s a matter of sovereignty and the investments may be painful at first but will end up saving untold amounts of money.

The Marshall plan goodwill has run out now.

I also live in a country with very high tax and I’d need to make more than 120k USD per year to have the same standard of living if I lived in the USA. It’s impossible to make that much driving trains and also working 40 hours a week in the US as far as I know. Lower tier blue collar work is even worse.

Low tax is for billionaires.

There are special measuring tools to check it the power is really turned off after you flip a switch.

So no, electricians (who get to retire) do not do this! You check the tool before and after every check as well!

And in enlightened countries that are France or copied their stupid law: the vultures keeping the boomers alive hooked up to expensive machines can also get the children to pay. Unlimited money hack for victims with more than 2 children.

Was the cop teasing you or did you actually get a fine for this?
