Makes sense. But you can offset part of the shipping from the fact that you can easily do the repair yourself.
Another possibility would be the HMD Skyline. Less repairable than Fairphones, but still far easier than most other smartphones. Only 2 years of updates though.
But starting from 2027, a removable battery will be mandatory for all smartphone in the EU, which mean most, if not all smartphone will switch to removable battery. This may also make repair a lot easier.
I agree that the employer part should be more automatic, but don't forget it may not the the only income. You can have properties, you can have share and dividends. All that do not happen all at the same time, so it is far easier to calculate on an earlier snapshot than continuously recalculate every time something changes.
That's how it is here in France. It is calculated according to the previous year income, so if you get a raise you'll have to pay a little bit more at the end the following fiscal year, but that's often very little. Last time I got a 2500€ yearly raise, I had to align something like... 100€ 😆.
You don't seem to understand how torrents work, or you don't want to.
Third option would be that you aren't very bright, but I'd refrain to assume that to give you a chance to better explain your stance.
There is a little known law in France that requires you to be able to pay a first class fine (about 35€) on the spot. If you cannot you'll be arrested.
As you cannot always pay with a card as not every cop has the required system, that mean you have to carry that arround in cash.
Most high tech chips are made in Taiwan, or some other asian countries. China cannot make them because they'd need lithography machines that are under US sanctions.
