- shuckles 3y agoYeah the quote says Americans freak out because they interpret the law as written. Implicitly, the Europeans defer interpretation to various bureaucrats leading to absurd situations where, eg, member states are retroactively punished for facilitating tax schemes that were allowed by the laws on the books at the time. You might argue that’s a better system with better outcomes, but it’s not rule of law.
- madsbuch 3y agoI don't know what or who you are debating? This was merely a commentary on why it might be that we haven't seen any reactions to Nintendo's way of doing business but do see actions on Apple. The truth is that we might very well see actions towards Nintendo when the dust has settled. And don't tell me that the US doesn't try laws on some cases in order to copy/paste results to similar cases. That said, yes. The EU is first and foremost not a country. It is a union that spans several countries with different legal frameworks and traditions. So of cause writing and interpreting laws is different. That should not be too difficult to understand.

- madsbuch 3y ago> Also not difficult to understand Brexit. Please enlighten me. My own perception is that most brits do regret leaving the EU, which data supports: https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-poll/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/987347/brexit-opinion-po...
