  • I suppose a percentage based on multiple factors could work. Like, just spitballing numbers here.

    • 50% would be based off of ownership. If the ownership is completely european, the product gets 50%
    • 50% would be based off of manufacturing location. If 80% of the product is from Europe, then the product gets 80% of 50%, so 40%.
    • Final score, 90% european. Label the product with this percentage, and you’ll possibly have an advantage over your competitor if your percentage is higher.

    It would however be quite expensive to make the documentation for every single product sold, but Denmark already requires something more convoluted and detailed with construction materials and environmental impact, so I suppose it wouldn’t be impossible to implement. Just a matter of will.

    Edit. Fucked up the percentage stuff a bit, made it make sense.


  • Some of them are, sure, but the people working and producing the products in a different country will also pay taxes to that country.

    Even if we ignore the workers’ taxes, if I was to buy an ingredient for my product from an american company, they will pay taxes from the money I paid them. This is why what Salling is doing is at best a bit useless and at worst completely misleading. I will have no clue wether or not something has been imported and repackaged, had ingredients imported, or is 100% european produced with the labeling. In essense all it tells me, is that the person who sold the final product is situated in Europe in some capacity.




  • My biggest issue with survival games is usually the lack of a goal. If Jagex treats this game the same way as OSRS or RS3 concerning quests, this could very well be a really nice experience. It could also very well be a very generic survival clone that adds absolutely nothing new to the genre.

    It’s also not the first time Jagex has fucked up games. It often seems like they have absolutely no idea what makes OSRS and RS3 as good as they are, and at least for OSRS, the dedication of the mods seem to be the only reason the game isn’t dead.

    I suppose we’ll have to wait and see which direction they take it. I hope it’ll be good, but I absolutely expect them to shit the bed on this.













  • It’s pretty wild that the median income before tax in the USA is less than the median income in Denmark after tax (based solely on income tax). Just to put things into perspective.

    With that said, it will only get worse for the American people if they don’t get rid of this administatrion, and everything that has made it possible for this administration to do as it does. You think it’s hard to make ends meet now? What about when you don’t have any tradepartners anymore? Or when all your worker rights are stripped away?
