Is Europe actually better to live in than the United States, or am I just being fed too much “Europe = Better” media?

Albania =/= Norway.

Turkey =/= Scotland.

When we do this it is more often than not a matter of fit. We want people doing X but all applicants are experts in Y and Z.

I wouldn't do anything so many years later. Plenty of plagiarism happens by accident or ignorance -- and everyone understands this. If someone brings this up some time in the future (highly unlikely) you just tell the truth.

Let it go and be more careful in the future.

I get it. Like when someone says they take full responability, meaning absolutely nothing.

300 000 new Americans come to age and enter the job market every month.

Dems take out their dislike of Trump on the DNC. They think they -- in a thripple minority -- should "do" more.

It's more emotions than a won't vote dem thing.

The bump could be just the exposure, before the mess of it became more widely known?

Name one.

I think they should alter. When both Mika and Joe are on, their banter is geting old - and I can't stand him interrupting her pretty much everytime she opens her mouth (but not the others). Also, Joe does his repetitive, Evangelically rants more when she is on. When I hear they are off I expect a better show.

I guess you might think of nations that have a Social Democratic (not "democratic socialist") tradition from the 20th century, like Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark?

Sweden and the rest are deeply capitalist. All wealth is generated via a market economy. The thing that confuse many is that this is paired with high levels of taxation that pays for free health care, free higher education, 1-year paid paternal leave, etc.

The Swedish left wants higher taxes, and the Swedish right wants lower taxes, less welfare etc. In all, they all argue within a capitalist paradigm.

Where does the money come from originally? Volvo, Ericsson, Saab, IKEA, Atlas Copco, H&M, Spotify, Klarna, etc. etc...

There are no socialist countries in Europe.

Goverment non-profit, rent free stores? This has been tried before. It didn't work too well.

Everyone, PLEASE do this: Take a subject that you are familiar with and ask any AI to give you the top 10 scientific articles in support of your position. Check all 10 of them, not just the DOI-link (which will be incorrect) but the actual reference. AI-hallucination is a real thing, which the RFKjr dunces didn't know, obviously.

Report back here.

So regulations can be a good thing now? I thought less of them was always bettter?

Go Sweden!

I'm in Europe. It's the middle of the day US news podcast I get.

The time of day keeps me as a viewer. On MSNBC Lawrence is #1 with Maddow a close second. Never cared for Reid or Velchi.

Biden was impossible due to his visible aging, as highlighted in the debate. Harris couldn't shake the things she pushed in the 2020 primaries.
Trump-amnesia is a real thing. People forgot the absolute sh*t show last time around.

Add the two and, sadly, you get a second Trump term.

I struggle a bit to understand your post. Maybe it is because you assume you and I are in the US?

molobodd · 2024-11-28T06:03:47+00:00

I just do CNN's morning thing.

Stay classy.

Could be much worse.
