So they oppose aid to Ukraine because they need to protect themselves, and then are surprised other European countries allow them to handle their own defense.
No, if they play internationally they cannot. Telling individuals what they can and cannot talk about is another thing though.
21.000 people in a city of 13 million. that sounds like a rounding error.
Purchase Power Parity only works domestically. Once you venture out in the world, things cost what they cost, no matter how little your populace makes.
A reasonable response with worries we also share. Thanks for that.
I’m from Europe and don’t understand why this should not just be resolved with taxes on the companies.
The record profits of the companies are in my vision because the company does not have to do anything for the healthcare and pensions. So if the company does not have to care for it, but society requires it, this is where the government needs to act. Tax the companies and arrange healthcare and retirement stipends. This solves one issue by solving the other, allowing the company to keep doing what it’s doing without having to think about healthcare… that has been resolved.
Individuals then have retirement benefits and can use private retirement insurance to supplement this.
Defense industry will make this happen if it’s viable. War industry drives much of this. So we will see
A few hundred losing their jobs is kinda misrepresenting the situation isn’t it. If you keep seeing each company by itself in terms of firings but then group the market as a whole in terms of people with money in the market.
It’s either a few thousand with money in the company vs the people fired from that company… Or the market vs all people fired in the market during these waves.
Plus… when you are one of the fired people the impact can be deeply impactful, in the US even as far as having no health insurance. While less profit does not have such an impact.
Unity is firing people as a result of a failed monetization attempt by the chief executive. I would argue the employees should have a case against the company and the chief executive. As this was so poorly implemented, fault could be argued.
Especially not now. With the Gaza war, The Houthi’s attacking shipping and US congress beholden to MAGA loons, his chances are looking up. Befriending Iran was an excellent choice, they had some cards up their sleeve to destabilize the middle east that could be played now. I wonder how long it will be before we see an Iranian nuclear test.
That was the risk of remaining on the platform the moment musk took over. And if not then, when he started stripping it down and making it less reliable. And if not then, maybe when he started pursuing shadow banning again.
No government or news business has any business anymore being on Twitter. They should use the fedpub protocol and push out their messages there.
This will allow their readers/citizens to use a broad scala of apps to read them, allows more 3rd party apps to integrate them.
Governments and newspapers must hold the reigns over their own infra or risk this happening.
Haha… that’s an excellent point. Little Britain was ahead of its time.
And pay with what? Yuan, ruble, ruppee, real? As long as there are no large trade inbalances it’s fine.
So, Russia creates draconian anti dissent law, charges dissenters with it and because of thelat charge they cannot become Canadian. Does that mean she can apply for asylum?
Exactly, regardless of the naysayers this hits the nail on the head. And Ukranians knew this very well. All former Soviet states know this as seen by their response.
It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things can handle the load. On an individual level probable, but on larger scale?

These glide kits essentially turn dumb bombs into smart ones. The prevailing military doctrine in the West has been that precession Trumps force every time. Hence these kits.
Russians followed suit in their usual way, with abysmal target accuracies. But when combined with enough boom, close enough will suffice.
Much easier to let the west handle this and keep your hands clean not pulling the irk of local extremist. Then you can later blame the west for colonialism and violence against the locals.
Translation using google translate on the image:
At the moment, Ukrainian formations have made another attempt at a massive strike on the Crimean peninsula.
To carry out strikes, both UAVs are used to destroy ground targets, and unmanned boats are used to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Another goal is the Crimean Bridge.
Judging by the explosions in the vicinity of Feodosia, one of the targets could have been the patrol boat “Sergei Kotov”, which was in that area. It is unknown whether there were hits or whether explosions occurred as a result of the destruction of the BECs.
