This is obviously Apple being stubborn because they can, but it does raise the question are you really an EU user if you no longer live in the EU?

- o11c 3y agoI'm pretty sure the laws are written as applying to "EU citizens or residents". Citizenship doesn't disappear when you go overseas.

- grecy 3y agoSurely want you really want is free healthcare and higher education
- bevekspldnw 3y agoThe smart move is to get the free education, then move to the US for a 5x salary. EU has a higher floor and a low ceiling: you’ll always have dignity and a decent quality of life, but it’s also harder to become obscenely rich because there are limits on how much you can exploit people. Whereas, in the USA you can be left in the gutter to die or be given the tools to be the richest person on the planet provided your willing to exploit people. Keep the EU citizenship to get that floor, come to the USA to be evil!
- grecy 3y agoTrue, very true. The problem is that while living in the US you run the risk of violent crime, mass shootings and general crime being obscenely higher than in the EU (or any other developed country). Also you're always only one major health problem away from bankruptcy. And your wife and daughter have less rights every day in some states. Risk v Reward I suppose.
