Sorry but you’re mistaken. 60k€ in France or Germany is a decent salary. Power cords don’t cost 15€? What are you talking about? I see prices way below 10€
€2 at Aldi, I have no idea what the poster is talking about. €60k is a very decent salary.
Perhaps they mean an Apple cord
The cheapest USB-C cable Apple sells is 25 Euros so even 15 Euros is cheap.
Oh I don't know, way back in 2005 and 2007 when I did internships in Europe, the cords at the local store always cost a lot. Even an RJ-45 cable for DSL cost 20 SF (about USD15 at the time) at the local electronics store.
What currency is SF? I might be missing one of the non-Eurozone countries.
