Just saw a video of it, that’s not just Nazi like, that is a textbook ENTHUSIASTIC NAZI SALUTE!

true, I thought it was, but apparently not. But it was in the Russian sphere of communist “eastern block” countries.

Responsible to who?
Of course they will sell if there’s a profit to be made. Companies exist to make profits, if they can make a profit from it, it’s actually their responsibility to the shareholders to do it.

Maybe you mean responsible in some way that has to do with morals, but if you think morals apart from staying within the law, have any say in this whatsoever, you are being very naive. That’s not at all how the system works.

That said I don’t see any other way than corruption for Musk to be interested. Musk buys Intel, and Trump doubles the subsidies to Intel and give them extra sweet government contracts. And everybody profit, except the stupid taxpayers including those that voted Trump.

Only the law helps super capitalist narcissists to stay at least somewhat within moral norms.
And in USA the law doesn’t even count anymore. So there you go, everything is fucked up, until Americans figure it out. Which means it will be fucked up for a loooong time.

I never claimed climate change couldn’t cause increased prices. But EU has lots of spare farmland that farmers are paid to NOT use to REDUCE production to avoid huge stockpiles like we had in the 70’s.
EU can increase production a lot if we want.

So as I wrote EU is not and is not likely to become dependent on Ukrainian grain.

The ones that really don’t get it are former Warsaw pact areas like Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia. Who actively SUPPORT Russia!

True, but as it is now, farmers in EU are actually paid for NOT farming as much as they can. EU can increase production significantly within a year. But yes that would mean that prices would increase on some products, but I don’t think it would increase very much on meat, although it would probably make fodder a bit more expensive.

EU has capacity for significant surplus production overall, and we could shift a lot of imported products to products grown in the EU.

At least he improved the lives of those 2500 people.

Not a problem for Europe.

Eu is mostly self sufficient on base foods:

https://agriculture.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2023-11/efscm-assessment-autumn-2023_en.pdf

If you look at fig. 4 on page 5, almost every meat source is above 100%, and fig 5 show most plant foods vary between 60-130%.

In the 70’s the ECC which EU was called back then, turned European agriculture around from huge deficits to huge surpluses. To ensure self sufficiency in case of international destabilization. This resulted in enormous stockpiles, leading to a more balanced policy, which we seem to have achieved.

In short EU is NOT dependent on food from Ukraine, but others are.
We do import soy and maize, but have a surplus on grains.

According to that, it’s only batteries and Manufacturing equipment. I’m pretty sure model 3 and Y for EU is made in China.
Sort by country to get a very quick view of what is made in Germany.

Most Tesla sold outside USA are made in China.
I recently saw a review of a Tesla here in Denmark (EU so Chinese made), where the reviewer exclaimed, hey the quality has become really good, it’s not like the old shit they used to make.

And I must admit I laughed a little, thinking that’s probably because they are made in China now.
Cars like Xpeng have a reputation of being among the most well built cars you can get! So made in China does not necessarily equal poor quality anymore.

My wife just broke her phone dropping it on cement terrace tiles (stupid dog), which ironically I did about 9 moths ago too, so now she has ordered a Nokia G42.
I’m wondering if we should order extra tiles for the terrace now. 😋

Absolutely, on way more cases than just 1.

Yes but the post I responded to completely turned around. So that’s fine for me. Probably someone thought my comment wasn’t necessary, but obviously it was for some, since it changed the voting both instantly and completely.

Americans are indoctrinated with values of individual freedom to a degree where Malignant narcissism has become a virtue, and it shows throughout all aspects of society.
Everything that benefit common good is demonized. Like food stamps, social welfare, healthcare for all, protection of minorities, lack of union rights, insane gun rights, and abolishing free abortion, and even sex education.
It’s in everything American in society, and USA is so far removed from other developed countries it’s more like a very poor developing country in many aspects.
It’s all about oppressing the non privileged, to give more privileges to the already privileged.

Now people are even getting away with claiming slavery wasn’t so bad!!

IDK why you are downvoted, maybe it’s the double negative?

But just to make it clear, keep from losing = winning.
So corrected for double negative:

The level of idiotic selfish spitefulness required for him to win…

And yes I agree completely, it’s insane he even had a chance, and it says a LOT about the American society as a whole is mentally ill.

Not everybody, but enough to make it a systemic problem throughout everything in society. It must be hell to live in USA as a normal person!

Well obviously Trump belongs in jail. And if they followed the law, he would be.

Blame Garland

And Biden, and democrats in congress for not pushing to fucking get it done for 2 years.
And Pelosi for preventing any action and protecting Trump while he was president, and she was majority leader.
And Mueller for making a mockery of the special investigation, dragging it out for years, and then having done just about the narrowest investigation possible, and letting traitors walk despite clear evidence.

It’s fucking incompetence all the way through, to a degree it must be perceived as maliciousness, and that both parties are in on it.

Goddam I’m happy to live in a country that doesn’t effectively have a 2 party system. I cannot fathom how Americans tolerate their idiotic flawed democracy for almost 250 years now! Isn’t it about time to modernize? And yet American politicians boast of their democracy and claim to protect democracy around the world, when they fucking can’t even figure it out for their own country!

Congratulations to the American people, for having the guts to elect a crazy criminal malignant narcissist idiot for president.
I doubt many places would have the guts to do that.
To be entirely honest, this makes me doubt we will make it as a species.

Ah yes of course, I just haven’t used manual mount for almost a decade. So I completely forgot we used to do that. I have to unmount it first though, because USB sticks are automatically mounted.
