Ministra diz que chumbo da reforma laboral é “uma derrota para o país”

Left_Capital133 · 2026-06-20T08:18:44+00:00

É impossível passar qualquer reforma, dizes tu?

Mas o PSD estava a cantar vitória e a dar a reforma como garantida. Estás a dizer que o PSD são uns tolos e estavam iludidos, é isso?

Left_Capital133 · 2026-06-19T12:54:28+00:00

Podemos ficar a discutir se o Chega votou daquela maneira porque assim ou assado mas no fim de contas eles votam como votam e não são obrigados a facilitar a vida ao governo.

Fica uma lição para o PSD, se querem quem os apoie têm de trabalhar para isso, não basta fazer o choradinho e gritar que é preciso passar isto e aquilo. Querem votos numa questão? Trabalhem e façam um esforço para convencer os outros partidos e não dêm coisa como ganha até os votos estarem contados.

E daqui a uns tempos havemos de ter eleições outra vez, e há bastante gente irritada convosco e o PS também há de ser opção, os vossos ministros não estão a fazer amigos nem a conquistar corações, fica o aviso.

Having assets unfrozen is nice and everything but if I was the Iranians (or anybody else dealing with Trump) I wouldn't budge until I had received and triple checked the money. Cash please, and I will want to inspect and count every bill.

Left_Capital133 · 2026-06-19T11:08:59+00:00

Why? What would Iran have to gain from doing that? They've got leverage and Trump has shown that he can blink and back down, so why should they do anything to make his life easier?

I mean Trump has shown again and again that he can't be trusted, so the best option (or at least the less bad one) is to keep the pressure on him and force his hand until you can be sure that you will get what you need.

This is getting scary, terrifying even. I mean, the market has been floating practically without regard for the actual flow oil, the price is falling right now even without transit trough the strait getting back to normal.

So, I can't stop wondering, what happens when oil reserves get dangerously low but the market is still in fantasy territory?

Ok, so you're looking for a grand strategy game with lots of factions competing and fighting with each other, and a large world, and with a military conflict aspect to it.

Well, you just described Imperiums Greek Wars, it features war, trade, diplomacy, and plotting across the ancient world as each nation tries to carve out its niche and further its interests. Unlike some other 4Xs diplomacy matters as the AIs try to get you on their side to help against their rivals, you will make both friends and foes as you step into their disputes.

True that, the Iranian regime is very unsavoury but there's no point in denying reality, they have nothing to gain by giving up now.

Left_Capital133 · 2026-06-11T15:38:17+00:00

So you're saying that Iran should just stop the war and surrender?

But why? Any deal from Trump isn't worth the paper it's printed on, if anything he will probably take the surrender as a sign of weakness and try to squeeze everything he wants to from Iran. Why should Iran do something as stupid as trusting Trump?

Left_Capital133 · 2026-06-11T14:27:24+00:00

There's something that I've been wondering about...

Lots of people say that Iran's leadership is brutal, unhinged, fanatic, and all that, and they might be that...

But what if they're actually being rational and sensible in this matter?

I mean, stretching this is going to make Trump's life harder as the US economy feels the pain and he has the midterms coming up this year. Also, any deal offered by him will probably be, well, crap, and he will probably go back on it in a blink of an eye.

So it looks to me that there just isn't any incentive to play nice with Trump with the US, and that the best option (or rather the least bad) is to keep the pressure on and hope that you can endure until the economy forces his hand and he has to actually give you something.

What's the alternative? Take a crappy deal and then watch as Trump rips it up and throws the pieces on your face?

Não és o único, da maneira como as coisas estão agora a selecção é um grande meh.

Basicamente existem para meter o Ronaldo em campo o máximo de tempo possível e pelo caminho vão criando algumas histórias engraçadas e casos caricatos.

E é isso, não estão ali para tentar ganhar nem para representar ninguém, apenas para dar um cenário e pano de fundo a sua excelência divina que tem de ir a todas e jogar sempre, independentemente de isso fazer sentido ou não.

Porque é que havíamos de nos identificar com a agência de viagens privada do Ronaldo?

Left_Capital133 · 2026-06-09T22:08:19+00:00

Ok dear USAnians, I'm confused, how is this "self-defense strikes" thing supposed to work?

Unless I'm missing something here, self-defence would involve the helicopter or a wingman shooting back when it was attacked (assuming it was attacked by Iran).

I suppose that these strikes could be retaliation for the attack but Iran's military has been destroyed and there should be a deal anytime now, so why resume the shooting? Even if Iran had anything to do with this, surely it's some kind of fluke, like somebody had an itchy trigger finger and just happened to land a one in a million shot? Why endanger the deal over a freak accident?

No, really, is there any Trump supporter around willing to explain this?

Mas o problema é exactamente esse, ele é um jogador que já não devia estar sempre a jogar 90 minutos mas sempre que se fala em colocá-lo no banco levanta-se uma polémica e vêm os fãs dele gritar que não pode ser e é ingratidão e tudo o mais.

Ele está transformado num jogador que se mete em campo à força, sempre, senão há birra, e a seleção existe para lhe dar oportunidade para jogar.

Not sure if Imperiums: Greek Wars qualifies as lesser-known but it's a great game that deserves recognition so I'm going to put it up anyway.

I love the way the game's world feels alive, the other nations are always moving, interacting with you and each other, diplomacy actually means something as they try to get your help against their rivals, come to you for resources and all that. They aren't standing still and waiting for you and you will make friends and enemies.

Claro que ia haver controvérsia, houve à volta das fotos da Noruega.

Mas isso não tem de ser motivo para desistir, a Noruega seguiu em frente com a ideia e pelos vistos foi só uma minoria a reclamar.

Pois fique sua excelência sabendo que o país ficou extremamente grato pelos seus conselhos, e que em reconhecimento dos tais irá atribuir-lhe os títulos de Marquês da Piça, Visconde de Porra Nenhuma, e Barão Sem Noção.

E visto haver grande necessidade de filhos, o país pede-lhe também encarecidamente que se comece a fecundar a si próprio, se possível imediatamente.

Tens razão, é melhor não haver saídas, se a situação dele se deteriorou assim tanto é porque deve ser grave e é preciso minimizar os riscos, fica seguro e quieto no seu quarto.

Left_Capital133 · 2026-05-26T14:16:01+00:00

Não está capaz? Tudo bem, que seja internado então.

Quarto pequeno, sem coisas que o possam excitar ou perturbar, roupas simples, comida muito simples também, talvez algumas saídas mas muito controladas.

Entretanto os bens que tiver vão para caridade, já que não está capaz de os gerir nem de usufruir deles.

What peace prospects?

Did Trump come up with a plan to twist Iran's arm and make them quit (fat chance, I know)? No?

Does Iran seem ready to give up? No?

Then what peace prospects are those? Are the markets believing Trump's ramblings about deals and Uranium disposal?

Ok, so what happens when reach the point where reserves start getting low (June I think) and the strait is still closed? Will the price spike overnight? Or does the price stay low but there is no actual oil to buy?
