It is in the law. It’s one of the basic principles of law. By its very nature, however, you cannot nail such a thing down and define it precisely beforehand.

Deutsche Telekom is currently offering 24 hours of real unlimited data for free in Germany at every World Cup game of the German soccer team. (Their usual plans offer single-digit GB data per month.) I would expect that to be a near worst c

Are multiplex cinemas really completely filled so often? We always just show up 15 minutes before the film starts and never had any trouble. I mean, we are sad when we can’t find a row with no one directly in front of or behind us … Obvious

Regulation is the core task of the EU, more or less its reason to be. There are many squishy goals the EU has, but its core and non-squishy task is to create and take care of a common market among all member states. That relates to boring a

It’s a toxic argument, because in practice it’s used to absolve diesel or gas cars entirely. It‘s also a way of missing the forest for the trees. Gas cars can never be clean, electric cars are in fact cleaner from the get go and have the po

Basically, a regulation is like a law. It’s directly binding as law. A directive is something member states have to implement themselves, probably also by passing a law using their own national process for doing so. As such there can be (gr
