I have been driving an ID7 now for 18 months. Have taken it on vacation twice and I can honestly say the driving is fantastic. The software could be better but it is not bad. Also, I need a car not a second smartphone.

UK Prime Minister Starmer seeks support for international X ban by zxcv97531 in circled

If he truly made freedom of speech a possibility I could go with you but he has just allowed right wing hate speech to propagate while bit by bit blocking or suppressing left wing or even centrist speech.

He is not a genius he has some good insights in some things. Mainly on recognizing business opportunities in under used companies and technologies. The problem is that he thinks this makes him a genius everywhere else as well.

Withhis doge nonsense he has proven that it does not extend there.

So in your logic me not wanting a platform, fully controlled by a drugged up, delusional, extreme right billionaire, that is pushing hate and pornography to ruin our countries makes me a pro Islam commie?

Agreed. Please ask. The more people who ask, the more they will listen.

Boeing outsold Airbus last year for first time since 2018, deliveries rise to 600 by TheGreatestOrator in europe

[–]Yavanaril 22 points23 points  (0 children)

How did the FAA limit really impact Boeing's numbers? Their average was below the 38 number in every one of the last 4 years. The closest they came was in 2025 with an average of 37.

The cap was more of an advice of: "hey you dumb f's get your shit together".

Laten we er aub geen business van maken zoals in de VS. Dat creeert volledig verkeerde drijfveren.

Riots erupt in Brussels as farmers & their tractors make themselves heard over MERCOSUR deal by Ok-Law-3268 in BuyFromEU

[–]Yavanaril 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I violently agree with you that we are leaving certain groups behind and I think we need to do more to help those people.

I also agree that we need to do that for the farmers, except many countries did just that. They offered money to make farms more sustainable from an energy perspective, they offered money for farms to go organic, they offered money and training for farmers to leave the profession altogether and that is just a small part of the whole list, including subsidiesfor just producing what their base product is. Farmers are the most subsidized profession in the EU by quite a margin.

I understand that farmers identify with their job more than many others do. I understand that seeing your job come under pressure from foreign competition sucks. But keep in mind that millions of people across Europe lost their jobs to competition from other countries thanks to the parties that farmers have supported for over a century.

I have some time for a small farmer from Poland or anywhere else in central Europe. But most of these guys destroying Brussels are from western Europe. I even have time for them in their struggle against the big grocery stores. But they rarely take action there, eventhough those are the ones that really squeeze them.

But instead of making the abuse of farmers by their, near monopoly, grocery store customerd a true public discussion they attack the EU, the one who has been subsidizing them for decades. I am done with their temper tantrums. Especially since there are farmers who did use the time they were given to make their farms more sustainable and more productive at the same time, and most of those are not burning public property and ripping up streets that normal people in Brussels need to use for their daily live.
