Then you post the articles and a way to read them before I do and all is resolved.

Thanks.

I don’t get what you’re aiming for here. The link can remove a paywall for those who want, if you don’t then don’t use it?

It’s not useless, it does what it says on the tin.

The paywall link is there if you want to use it.

Getting a subscription to the economist is also an option.

Not a matrix user but from what I understand you just need to be on a matrix server, not the kde one. So just sign up to one and go talk to the kde guys.

Paywall for me so… https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.politico.eu/article/jeffrey-epstein-files-sweden-business-leader-ehnbom-proposed-meet-women/

It’s an old meme sir, but it checks out.

Why? Shein is a horrible company.

How… convinient, for some.

Democracy I think. They’re having an election soon. Also put rules in place for all EU members on how to safeguard democracy, which has been happening for some time.

I still have hope for Hungary.

I mean it both is and isn’t. It does help small countries from being steamrolled by the bigger ones, so it was easier to get countries to join knowing that they would not be overruled by Germany, France and Britain. The assumption was that you would have rational actors in place that wanted to do good for their people. It’s been working well, mostly.

But also yeah, it’s frustrating to see one or two bad actors mess things up.

Individual countries can still act though, it just won’t be an EU coordinated thing.

Edit: Damn autocorrect.

That’s already happening. 🤬

Look up supertrawlers.

Still need to negotiate and sign deals. It’s not a quick process and some counties might want to change some things.

All in all it’ll be very complicated and messy. Not really realistic tbh, but a fun thought experiment.

Starting a new EU isn’t really feasible either since it’ll be the “old” EU who holds all the trade-deals and other agreements/contracts.

I get that 1956 was a while ago, but still…

People who understand diplomacy.

But then the problem isn’t landlords, it’s policy.

Put the blame where it should be, the people voting for stupid policy.

Not sure they do have a shut off, but modern weapon systems are so complex that they don’t have to have that. Just stop supporting them with updates, material and support and most will be useless in a very short time.

Most people have at least one bad experience of anything tbf.

Yeah, if its the only option then it’s bad, but the convenience isn’t too be underestimated. I rented when I was in Uni, didn’t even consider buying at that point. Didn’t want to commit that much money to a city i didn’t know if I wanted to live in.

Why are landlords so hated? Renting isn’t always a bad option.
