The EU also had loose monetary policy resulting in inflation. USD is getting stronger because of the American oil industry. Demand for exports is always a major factor (probably the biggest factor actually) in exchange rates.

It's demand that makes it valuable. And it's demanded because some people appreciate it. That's it. If people want it, it has value. Period.

More societal good would be done if governments enacted policies which help people instead of relying on charity from the wealthy... Also watchmaking is blue collar work.

I want to like System76, but ultimately can't. Dell, Lenovo and others have much better hardware and still run Linux just as well.

Russia isn't EU and I'd hesitate calling them "Europe" at this point. Anyhow looked it up, Russia only allows elective abortions up to 12 weeks. So way more conservative than the US or even much of the EU.
