Hi there!
Aye, he’s an utter twat, is what he is.
Said his economic policies were from his god or some nonsense too, going against all of his policy advisors (who he came down hard on).
A nutjob deeply damaging the country he’s in charge of, economically, and in so many other dangerous fascist ways too :-(
Phew, whatever would we dumb simple Europeans do without the USA to warn us to not fall for the extremely obvious?
So glad they could warn us that China might not be entirely sincere in their relationship with the west.
mmm that confused and then annoyed me too, 32c is far, far, FAR from 100c.
The content of this article is important, it’s something that is a huge problem and I’m glad I’ve been further informed and educated, but outright lies and sensationalist titles are confusing at best, and always annoying.
Just give me the information, article writers, without trying to turn it into clickbait. Thank you.
They discovered that, in the last glacial period, Earth experienced its highest CO2 increase: 14 parts per million in just 55 years. Not, our planet experiences that increase every five years.
I’ve been reading this and just can’t get my head around the last bit. What are they trying to say? O.o
Check it out! Technology survived a Carrington Event
Nope, that wasn’t remotely powerful enough to be compared to Carrington.
For such an event, we’d have to take preemptive measures to protect our power grids by mostly shutting then down and cutting various interconnects temporarily until the danger had passed, for example.
donald tr*mp gets 10 warnings for intimidating witnesses and indefinite trial postponement for hoarding and most likely leaking classified documents. Sweet sweet justice.
Why are you censoring Donald Trump’s name? Is it a swear word now in your country?
We’re big girls here, we can take a little rude language, don’t worry :)
I already have a Steam account, I’m not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.
Fascists gonna fascist.
Russia would lose a war with NATO, Poland warns
Well, yes, in the sense that Russia would be a nuclear crater, as would the NATO nations.
Nobody wins that war. Nobody.
As soon as Russia runs out of other options, backed against a wall, nowhere to go, lead by madmen, they’ll do it, and we all die. All of us, together.
That dude is (possibly) going to be elected leader of the USA not Europe, the place Orban is. I don’t see how his fortunes are going to change much, we’re not suddenly going to be really into fascist dictators and give him everything he wants 😂
Can’t make a genocide without a few dead kids and a pile of free American cash, as Israel always says!
It’s an unusual expression, but it goes back generations now… O.o
If Europe falls, Russia will come for your country eventually too, once they’re done with the USA.
Not that you care, you’re probably working for Russia, or already in your 60s so this won’t affect you much, but ya know, just in case…
That really is depressing.
That young kid should be enjoying this one special night that they’ll remember for the rest of their life, not buried in their phone screen working on something.
I hope whatever they were doing didn’t take long, and they were able to put the phone away and make some lifelong memories <3
Ahh, takes me back to the ol’ coverup cleanup campaign enacted for the 1936 Olympics… 😊
Jesus wept, if I earned HALF that I’d be very comfortable for the rest of my life. That’s an insane income.
Imagine earning almost two hundred grand a year as a family and then suggesting it’s a struggle. That’s wild.
I mean sure, if you live in a gated wealthy community and only buy the finest things, and have very high wealthy standards, then I imagine that would seem like pocket change.
But 14,500 dollaroos a MONTH? That’s enough to support multiple families. That’s equivalent to SIX adults working a full time minimum wage job. SIX!
Imagine being two people, bringing in the wage of six people, and suggesting it’s a tough life. I would kill to be in that highly privileged position haha.
Why 👏 is 👏 every 👏 word 👏 padded 👏 by 👏 emoticons 👏 ?
Our western society thinks like a Capitalist in how all decisions are made.
Either directly, or indirectly (usually both), our governments are run by - and for the primary benefit of - Capitalists.
So, look again at this situation. Not from a moral standpoint, as Capitalism doesn’t concern itself with morality one way or another. Look at it from the position of “How can we make the most money and assert the most market dominance?”.
Sometimes our Capitalist government’s goals happen to align with our morals, such as supporting Ukraine against the Russian genociders. Russia are hurting Western economies, and threatening future financial prosperity, and thus must be opposed.
The fact that it’s the right thing to do never factors in - a happy coincidence that’ll help governments garner voter support.
But the genocide Israel is currently perpetrating? The one that we’re directly benefiting from via weapons sales, the placation and strengthening of an ally in that region’s Market?
What would our government take the path of less money? That goes against the very core of Capitalism, which says that all actions must be towards the goal of making more money.
Everything has to be weighed and balanced of course. Let’s say you have a great way of making money, say, prisoner organ harvesting, but you know that doing so would lose you the support of your voters, and possibly start mass protests and riots (aka lost/damaged revenue streams).
Well, you can’t make the maximum amount of money if you’re no longer in a high position of power, can you? So, it makes sense to not harvest prisoner organs. Sure, you lose out on that revenue stream, but you can find 10 others that wouldn’t otherwise be available, and milk those instead.
So yes, “the people” can sway government decisions by taking action that threaten their bottom line, their profits, and we could stop them from supporting Israel’s current genocide, but that would take a huge effort, and that doesn’t seem to have materialised.
The Capitalist government have taken the temperature of the market, seen that it will tolerate these business deals, and concluded that the best way to maximise profits is to continue.
Capitalism is a force of nature, it doesn’t follow morals, superstitions, beliefs, it doesn’t feel fear or anger. It simply follows the most profitable path to the maximum amount of money.
With that in mind, our government’s behaviour sadly becomes quite plain and predictable.
The company will be hoping that by taking the Israeli business back “in house” it can restore its reputation in the Middle East and meet its key sales targets once more.
How is this clearly signalling the they’re against Israel in order to appease the boycotters?
Doesn’t seem to matter who owns them technically, if they’re still McDonalds and still there…
Phew. The population needs to be reduced significantly, this will help!
Ah yes, global news is propaganda now because it’s not about, let me guess, America?
