Yeah of course industries will collapse. 100 car factories will close, 5 superyacht factories will open, tying up the same amount of productivity. Owned by the same guy.

There will be tons of spacecraft launchpads, private jet hangars, etc.

And wars of course.

The rich will keep trading with each other. Look at housing for an example.

The rich. Companies will stop targeting products to wider and wider swathes of people, just like nobody caters to the homeless now.

Trump got shot at a rally, very minor injuries, would be assassin dead

Schutzstaffel, as in protective service would probably be a better description of what they actually do I guess

Secret service better fits sg like the CIA

All the other crazyness does not make this normal.

I had to do a double take on that abbreviation

I saw it after the whole Trump news came out, thought shit was going to go down

The extreme right gained some seats, but they are very far from winning an election. They actually underperformed expectations and are actively losing ground eg. in France or the NL. Even Orbán’s regime seems to have found a challenger.

The fight is not over yet, but this election has been very far from a far right win.

Do we really need more hero shooters?

Isn’t the whole genocide and people’s reactions to it political?

Maybe one guy got a lot

You need a runway and a customs office to qualify. You’d be surprised how small intl airports can get.

Edit: the runway is actually optional, and the customs office can be a dude you can call when needed

As long as Twitter does business in the EU, it has to follow the law.

Not yet. But Trump might make it one. That’s my point, electing someone that makes the US more equitable is unrealistic, but electing someone who will make it a dictatorship is not unrealistic.

Commercial flights don’t typically use uncontrolled airports. That said, it could also be on the pilots, hence the investigation.

If the journos did their jobs, they could have probably checked out LiveATC for the comms.

DSA enforcement is spicy, since the EU can create its own team to fight disinfo on Twitter, and charge it to Musk, in addition to the massive fine.

Care to argue the point?

Yeah I never know with this guy if his stupidity or his criminality won any particular day.

There was no buffer zone. Poland, Slovakia, the Baltics were under Russian military occupation for most of the last century.

Russian soldiers were on the NATO border even back then. Soviet troops suppressed multiple revolutions aimed at creating an actual buffer zone, in 1956, in 1968 and so on. The bullet holes are still there. Some who fought are still alive.

When the Wall fell, all these “buffer zone” countries wanted to join NATO because they knew the Russians will come back.

Ukraine was indeed a buffer zone. Ukraine wanted to be one. Everyone signed that in Budapest. And yet when Ukraine wanted to do something and go its own way separate from Russia, but not into NATO either, Russia invaded in 2014.

Russia broke that buffer zone. And sincerely, Eastern Europe has agency and can decide who its allies are. Russia has always been an enemy, and if you look at Finland, even dealing with the devil itself had better outcomes than giving an inch to Russia.
