Moving to an EU country seems more and more like a good idea every day. They seem to understand consumer protections WAY more than the US does. Granted I doubt any of them would take me, lol.

An official UK government advert for the idea of workplace training, tying in with a summer blockbuster about a group of four people who acquire their skills in a workplace accident. Great use of taxpayers’ money, lads…
