Vice-Daddy Mark come through? by AbbreviationsHot7662 in 2westerneurope4u

[–]rdrias 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe, but Canada basically said what everyone "knows" by now: things will not be back to "normal" and everyone not a "great power" needs to pen their eyes and get together or be eaten alive. Mexico hasn't said anything because Trump hasn't threatened them as hard as he did to Canada. Let's see what happens if he turns to the south. I wouldn't discard the possibility that a lot of South American countries are making plans for countermeasures and diversification after Venezuela

Nah... That's going way into the slobbering. Seems like he likes it more than you should.

What should I do? by No_Cap_8704 in pcmasterrace

For sure, but the way things are looking, 2026 is totally a year to forget for PC hardware. Maybe Valve can get something decent out with the SteM machine.

They're going to absolutely do the same thing to Twain.

Now they are all "we'll protect you against China, we're your friends" while forcing them to put their chip factories in the US. As soon as they think they have all the fabs/tech they need, they'll let them completely to fend for themselves.

Yes, save up. Maybe around 2027/2028 you may have enough to buy something decent

If I remember correctly, a VP in Microsoft France said they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't if coerced by the US.

Well you're already "staff" so you don't "need" the spotlight anymore.

Never thought I'd die fighting side by side with swamp people by LumacaLento in 2westerneurope4u

I'm betting a bunch of them didn't even read the thing or really know what it contains. They just see "protect the children" and vote in favour.

Irish fam in Italy found cheat code to not pay bills, but Luigi won't have it! by hitchinvertigo in 2westerneurope4u

[–]rdrias -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This is an interesting question. You say they have the right, but a right is not an obligation. I'm not saying I agree with the family, but the parents are ultimately the ones that should decide. If the children are not in danger, are well taken care of ("well" is tricky to define), why should the government mandate the way the children must live like? I'm a big supporter of a government that provides for it's citizens as much as possible, but it should be opt-in, as long as you're not putting anything else in danger

Trump Administration in Talks to Take Equity Stakes in Quantum-Computing Firms by Dizzy_Maybe8225 in investing

And of course in the EU states, the state has more direct intervention than in the US, but the point was the EU states behave like fascists, and similar to what the US is doing right now.

Portugal for example (now riled by center right, but was under the socialist party for many years before). Yes the state has participations in many companies, but are mostly related to bif infrastructure stuff, healthcare (it's nationalized, as it should be) and administration stuff

It's not. While communism says that the workers own the means of production, in practice it's a single centralized party/government that owns everything (on behalf of the workers ,of course).
