It's important to do my part for the environment, even if it comes at a cost. I'm willing to deal with some initial issues since it's a newer technology.

Mine does, too. But I'm interested in moving to an EV for the sake of the environment and the planet. Not necessarily a Tesla, though.

IT wages may not be as high in Germany as in Silicon Valley (cost of living is also a lot lower), but they are certainly a far cry from "cheap." Also, German workers have much, much better labor conditions overall than US workers. They aren't easy to cast aside like Google has a habit of doing.

The irony is that they are moving to Germany, one of the most unionized countries in the entire world. Also not exactly "cheap" labor.

I don't think there's ever going to be a case for "less education is better," but I also don't think more education necessarily leads to higher salaries. It often does, but those are two different conversations in by book.

Definitely. Just take one tiny step at a time. No one will notice and it all just seems normal: "It's always been like that." No, it hasn't always been like that. The tiny steps got you to the same place, it just took longer.

I like Linux, but I just use too many apps and programs that are only available for Windows. It's a no-go for me and, I suspect, many others.

Other than on price, Tesla is just not on par with premium German brands.

Pretty sure my phone has 8GB of RAM. Apple should probably rethink this.

Unfortunately, parents aren't always able to do their parenting very well and need their own guidance.

Although the EU has some similarities to the US at the federal level, every country is its own sovereign nation with distinct rules and regulations, pricing, culture, language, cell phone providers, etc. It's very different than traveling between states in the US.
