The war never made economic sense. Russia was well off before, with a huge reserve. It could have invested in its own people. But it did not.

Even the second most important city of Russia, St Petersburg, is in shit ruins with infrastructure falling apart.

In a time of mass manipulation, propaganda, and war, I am skeptical of phone votes that can be automated via en masse bought SIM cards and a bit of software.

What do you mean by everything? This is pretty specific. About a specific thing.

If Israel were not present or a potential issue they wouldn’t be mentioned here.

I had to look up “vertical search”.

focuses on a specific segment of online content. They are also called specialty or topical search engines. The vertical content area may be based on topicality, media type, or genre of content. Common verticals include shopping, the automotive industry, legal information, medical information, scholarly literature, job search and travel.

Is that him?

Does xcancel (nice hostname) not show the tweet anymore when it has been deleted on xitter? I assume it has been deleted?

Veritasium published a Video (~1h) about ‘forever chemicals’ three days ago. It’s informative for historic context, chemistry, chemical variations, and prevalence, as well as associated risks.

What makes you think so?

What makes you think so?

How do you see that slogan in the context of Israel’s existence, given the (potential) relation mentioned in the article?

What do you mean?

That it’d be the worst state? That the US being inside the EU would be a bad thing?

That’s kinda what they’re asking for; to 1 assess risks 2 define guidance/regulation

What do you think about cutting off Russia from the Internet? Pros and cons?

I remember a linked article that explored how the supply chain laws could turn into a long-term advantage for Europe.

Yes, it has a cost. But if we want to care about human beings and the environment, we have to regulate, and have that cost of supply chain requirements, just like we do have these within Europe for European companies.

If we do not have that, we decide to accept exploitation. If we abolish the regulation, we decide to support exploitation, because at large, that is the inevitable consequence, because it’s cheaper.

Companies, the economy, can adjust just fine, as long as it’s a stable environment. Dropping the regulation would not only have a human and environmental cost, but economic costs, and even more so if it were to be reapplied later. Even saying that it could be dropped is damaging to long-term market stability.

The supply chain stuff isn’t really about their workers. It’s about ensuring fair conditions of workers in the supply chain.

Which is a bureaucratic burden. It does have a cost for no immediate economic benefit.

But if you consider human rights and morality, it’s a necessary addition. Despite the cost.

Maybe you can build one?

How much money do you have?

pressure from one side, lure from the other

That would only make sense if “Americans support us” was seen by people as a positive, and I think we’re well pass the stage were people in Europe look up to America and Americans.

There are definitely (uninformed, ignorant) people who don’t see much issue with what Trump and his government currently do. They fantasize about a supposed need to do so in our countries, too. I know my father does to clear out a supposed shadow government (in Germany).

A majority view or our views here on Lemmy certainly never bothered the right, their voters, or other conspiracy theorists.

I’m surprised they were and even were able to be so active in colonization right after being occupied by Germany.

Mars. /s

It would be just.

It was baffling how politics, politicians, and governments openly and actively continued to support Israel despite the information and images we saw.
