To keep using your metaphor, when you have a severe fever due to an infection, you usually want to treat the fever because although it’s a symptom it can hurt/kill you if left alone.

Having extremist/neo-nazis/fascist parties participate in the elections and maybe winning them (hello USA) makes it a lot more difficult to treat the root causes. The less space, means and influence they are given, the better.

This being said, I agree with you that once the dangerous symptom has been treated, we need to treat the root causes or the symptom is going to come back.

This. I can’t afford reliable always-on storage now, but I plan to build for SSDs rather than HDDs because I don’t have a separate room to put it into.

Macron is a POS.

This is only the start of his virtue signaling declarations with no intent to follow through to see if polls get good enough for him to re-trigger legislative elections.
He fired the national representation and triggered legislatives elections in 2024, hoping to gain a better majority but ended up losing to the left.
He wants to try again, but he had to wait 1 year (because constitution) and that wait period comes to an end… in June.

Macron has learned a lesson from Trump: reality doesn’t matter. He’s been denying real, established facts and lying like no president before him for a few years now.
Don’t mistake him for a good guy, he’s just doing a tiny bit better than actual fascists.

Ps: it’s 2025, maybe we could stop using “having balls” as an expression of courage?

We still have DEI policies focusing on gender, disability and on socio-economic background (which does correlate with ethnicity in a lot of places). Of course in a lot of companies it’s mostly for show, but in some it’s done with a sincere will and has real effects.

Much more so than having a car-centric infrastructure. If you start cherry-picking you’ll of course find cases where a car would have been more efficient but public transportation needs to be understood as a whole.
