Extra bullshit fees are there to make sure the company can still keep making the same kind of profit. They'll still pay minimum wage and expect the customers to kindly pay for the lionshare of the wages with tips. Who the hell wants to order food, let alone pay for a tip if the order for a single person comes to over $50? That's 3-4 hours of work for many people even in the west. That's someones internet bill.

If you can't run a business without extra "fees", you shouldn't be in business. Nor should you be in business if you can't pay a livable wage for your employees. But that could be several thousands of dollars when rents have skyrocketed so much. So I guess just shoot your landlord and eat it, instead of ordering pizza.

Housing is quite expensive here. 300-400k Euros for a 2 room 60sq apartment. 600k if you want to be in the city center.

But besides that we have a high salaries, and life is generally very good here. Healthcare and education is provided freely through taxes. Childcare is subsidized, and get a childcare check for each child you have. Students get paid to study when they are above 18 years old. Those things should be the main things that should draw you to Denmark.

>This is a consolidation of everyone’s posts, situations, of all these different subreddits like the r/recruitinghell sub, the r/antiwork sub, other subs or regular news trends,

So the data is skewed toward worst cases scenarios? Because no one posts, when they got hired after few tries.

To be fair, I didn't really start drinking beer until I was 23 or so, simply because I had never found a beer I liked enough to spend much money on (thanks Lisa, for sorting that out). Drinking age is 18/19 here, depending on where you are.

While I would agree that I was a bit of an outlier in the late 80's, I wasn't *that* much of one.

They need to revisit this work in 5 or 10 years to really draw a conclusion, I think.

All that said, it is interesting.

Now, 30-odd years later, I don't drink beer any more for medical reasons. Heh. Enjoy it while you can :)

Many of these countries have Euro. Eurostat does not disclose detailed methodology, this is what I have found:

The House Price Index is part of the so-called Euro-indicators that are designed to give a general overview of the economic situation of the euro area, the European Union and Member States.Weights are usually compiled using data from National Accounts, Household Budget Surveys, Construction Statistics, etc. Weights for HPI and OOHPI categories are revised yearly and released with the data for the first quarter of the current year.Data are not seasonally adjusted.

I have a spreadsheet where I logged all my wishlist and when/where/how much I bought them, but only after 2018. I haven't been playing much between 2016 - 2017 so I lost track of most of my purchase prior to that. I have been playing PS3 since 2008 (or was it 2009?), getting a PS4 around 2015/2016 and planning to buy a PS5 soon.

I have an Australian PSN account since I made it when I studied there, but when I came back to my home country Malaysia, I could not get rid of the account since I had a lot of trophies on this account.

I am very picky with what I play since I do not have much time and I am also getting old. On top of that, I never pre-order stuff and always buy games 2,3 years after its release or if they are on sale. The "Full Price" & "In-Store Price" are the price when the games are released, or the current price without discount.

Lazada and Shopee are online store mostly operated in South East Asia, similar to Amazon to Americans (and the rest of the world I suppose). Impulse is a local gaming shop, I bought from them since 2011 and they often have the best offers.

Tools I use: Microsoft Excel for data logging, and Power BI.
