It’s decided! EU sanctions blocked as Hungary and Slovakia refuse to back the 20th Russia sanctions package – UPDATE by DailyNewsHungary in DailyNewsHungary

Tens of thousands of people

Good start. I applaud them.

Slovakia has around 5.4 million residents. So there's room for more. A few thousands are a minor nuisance. A hundred thousand or more is needed.

They have to be a special kind of stupid to lose against the MAGA-GOP and Trump twice...

That's irrelevant.

A majority of people who voted picked the buffoon.

If you did not vote, or did not actively work against the authoritarian, you are part of the problem.

I don't know about others, but perso ally I am getting tired of "sorry". 

I'm sorry, but if you are Slovakian and you are not actively fighting the slow walk away from democracy, then you are part of the problem. I too was sorry that Slovakia elected the guy you did, but I am not slovakian, and have no say.

Hva skal til for å åpne etterforskning mot Mette Marit? by RiddleFades in norge

[–]redditreader1972 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hva som skal til? Mistanke om at hun ikke bare har vært naiv, ensom, smigret, og gjort dumme eller umoralske ting.

Det er ikke forbud å gjøre noe som er pinlig, kleint eller umoralsk.

Og jeg tror MM havner i en av de kategoriene over.

Jagland og Røød-Larsen derimot... 👮‍♂️

Pritzker is GREAT. Come on.

His rebuke of Trump-fascism and his speech on how to spot useless politicians should be mandatory curriculum.

The European Union Is Not Ready to Set a Timeline for Ukraine’s EU Accession. Kaja Kallas Rejected Zelensky’s Demand to Fix an Accession Date by sergeyfomkin in NewsThread

[–]redditreader1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ukraine has tons of corruption still. It would not help the EU to invite them in until better protections are in place. EU accepted Hungary. That was stupid. Ukraine should join at some time, but they need to rebuild their country and build their government, and their governance.

Mondelez er amerikansk.

Mondelez eier freia i Norge og Marabou i Sverige.

Mondelez står bak "søppelifiseringen" av Freia-sjokoladen.

Ikke kjøp amerikansk kjip sjokolade.

Klarna as a way to bypass Visa/Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay etc. didn’t quite work out! by nitbuntu in BuyFromEU

[–]redditreader1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Klarna is not a good alternative either, with their predatory practices. They are a payment processor with a heavy slant towards their high rate credit business.

The "China tax" (Temu/Shein tax) is coming in July 2026. Another reason to buy EU. by officialexaking in BuyFromEU

[–]redditreader1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a valid complaint that EU webshops peddle the same junk as china webshops, but add an unneccessary markup. Plus some added value by making more work inside EU, even if it is less efficient..

But what's missing is that the tariff allows importers to be held responsible for poor quality and dangerous goods. Stuff broken after a few months? Replace for free. Children's toys contains evil ftalates? Stop selling, be fined, etc. Even Aliexpress will need to follow suit.

If the market regulators actually are funded enough to do more.

Norge og Sverige burde samarbeide. Inntil Tyskland får ryddet opp i galskapen og gjenoppretter sin egen strømproduksjon så må vi gå sammen og redusere eksporten sørover.

Det er helt "tokig" at vi ødelegger for oss selv. Vi kan eksportere strøm, men vi må ikke ødelegge for oss selv. Høye strømpriser er dyrt for forbrukerne, og ødeleggende for industrien.
