Facebook offered paid subscription for ad-free experience in Europe.[1] First, europeans complained it is too expensive. After a price cut, they EC still wanted a free version with less personalization.[2]
If google offers something similar, I am pretty sure Europeans will find something else to complain about.
Look at the traffic signs. You have very limited time to read the sign. That's the reason they have distinct patterns and rarely (except in USA) rely on blocks of text.
Wow, that top image is actually quite good! Interestingly, I just got into Pro and got a worse result than yours. https://imgur.com/a/ENNk68B ... and it really seems to just vary by attempt even with the exact same prompt.
> but there is a whole range of forces driving a sharp decline in jobs
Technically, there is no decline in jobs. There were more jobs as of March 2025 than a year before. Less than reported earlier, but the overall number of jobs is still growing.

NC outsourced safety inspections to private sector decades ago. And nothing you have described has happened.
- the service prices are all fixed ($30 or $13.60)
- tons of places to do your inspection, wait times are almost zero
- work is done in 10 minutes
- new reduced rate ($13.60) for newer vehicles was introduced some years ago
If they do something similar for driver license offices or vehicle registration offices it will be a giant leap in quality of service. Right now in bigger cities you cannot make an appointment 6 months in advance, and walk-in does not guarantee you will get any service even after spending whole day in line.
That's by value. I reckon since Chinese imported goods tend to be cheaper they probably make up a greater number than the value percentage would indicate.
So I suspect 40% figure is how many items in a typical household are from China.
Edit: in case that's not clear, here's an example:
I have one item from the USA that costs $80. I have four items from China that cost $5 each.
My imports from China are 20% of my spending. My imports from China are 80% of my goods.
It is clear what you are saying. It still doesn't make any sense.
If I buy a bottle of wine, a chicken, a cake, and a pint of blueberries, is it correct to say that my diet is 99% fruits? There are more than a 100 of blueberries in the pint after all.
I have my BMW key in Apple Wallet. When I was out of town and needed to share the key with another person, all I did use a standard share sheet for the key. It let it share via SMS, email, AirDrop, etc.You can revoke the key later.
