      You’d think that an entities senior leadership and investors being populated with openly corrupt, anti-democratic, mentally-ill, psychopathic, megalomaniacal, fascists and pedophiles would be a deal breaker, but most of the political class across Liberal “democracies” don’t have a problem with it.

    Responsible personnel?
    In a government?
    In this time, age and economy?

    Holy fuck. I must be dreaming.

      Pedro Sanchez is a capable prime minister of the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party. Unfortunately, his party and his family members are embroiled in scandals which tarnishes his legacy. But that’s not to say that Pedro isn’t corrupt himself, he just hadn’t been directly implicated.

        I have yet to meet a single person from Spain who doesn’t despise him, even if they’re left wing

          As an outsider, I kinda like him but hearing of the controversies surrounding him, it says a lot that he could be looking the other way even though he may not be directly involved.

            That’s the thing though, the only people who like him are people outside of Spain. He has a 33% approval rating, he’s somehow even more unpopular in his country than Trump is in America. They really hate this guy over there.

      It’s an interesting point.

      I would assume, personally, given that the Biden admin and Trump I admin were staffed with actual serious people, that there were more guardrails and oversight and Alex Karp had to be better behaved in his business operations. The billionaires, however, are running the asylum now, and there are absolutely no guardrails.

      In 10-20 years, when Donald is gone and people feel safe to write books about what’s actually happening right now, it’s going to make for interesting and enlightening reading.

      Look for work there? If you’re in the EU, you’d just come over and look for a rent spot

      Shit ton of money and being prepared for huge taxes could help

      Edit: turns out the taxes are better than in other places

        what huge taxes are you talking about? it’s not that different from what you’d expect in the EU in general, lower than some and higher than others. Pretty typical for Western Europe.
