So… still reliant on Google & Amazon then?

Good point, hope they are aware of that. But this is a much less dangerous reliance compared to how we rely on visa and mastercard.

I believe some ants grow wings so maybe Santa grows a sleigh with reindeer :)

Thank you for describing how strong they seem.

But nvidea didn’t invest in Nokia because of those things

But now they’re even weaker then they seemed after that. But Russia trying to look bigger then they are is nothing new, I agree.

Can we go back to saying X (formerly known as Twitter)? They so do notdeserve to claim a letter as their name.

Just call it an URO and be done with it.

should, yes.

these trucks are only used by the few people who need a big truck

Did I miss your sarcasme or are you not connected to reality?

I get your point though, good people suffer on the bad guys side too. But I don’t think there are many options to support the (relatively) good guys at KAN from Europe’s side. Although i wish EBU cared, they could be a real force for good in a country like Israel, but also Turkey or Georgia for example.

They aren’t for some reason. Them committing genocide seems to be the main reason that people like to boycott Israel, and i get those people, but i personally think the massive voter manipulation would be a much more sensible basis to exclude them. EBU has rules but are letting Israel get away with it. I wonder if it has something to do with where their biggest sponsors are from.

A tax on wealth is about wealthy people paying tax, because they aren’t taxed through work. But yes, reading the article is too much work. Guilty.

Yes, we’re doing totally fine, we don’t need the wealthy to pay their taxes. /s

Yeah my priority is basically as followed:

1. Made in the EU + owned by european corpo
2. Made outside EU, but owned by European corpo
3. Made anywhere but US by a non-US corpo
4. Made in Eu, but owned by an US corpo
5. Made in the US and or by a us corpo

But i have to be fair to myself and spend my money wisely, and basically only 4 and 5 can persuade me to spend more money than i should. Only avoid 5 is hard enough also, because if you dig deep enough you almost always come across the us in the supply chain of either goods or services (payment systems is an obvious example here, but also every company uses us software etc)

Prison time last i heard, but not sure tbh

Currently it would take roughly 45 days to move an army from the strategic ports in the west to countries bordering Russia or Ukraine, EU officials estimated as they prepared to publish a new proposal on “military mobility” on Wednesday. The aim, they said, was to bring that down to five or even three days.

Most European supermarkets white label food is made in Europe. It can be hard to find confirmation it isn’t made by the same factory, but even if it is most of your money goes to the employees, suppliers and local business. Some ingredients have a very common source (i believe a lot of almonds and walnuts come from the us), so it could be best to avoid products with those ingredients. But peanuts and cacao don’t come from us, and potato starch and sunflower oil are also more likely local-ish.
