Well 40 % of Americans are still supporting Trump as per latest polls.

Maybe decades of lead exposure in childhood are just not ideal for the development of a reasonable population in a country.

Spotted the American.

You have very little understanding about city development and planning. Otherwise you’d know that most of the transport corridors that are in use today were started in the Industrialisation period when trams were introduced.

A city with millions of inhabitants can’t be explained by looking at the small population in the centre.

Vienna has an amazingly good and inexpensive public transport system and quite good bike routes combined with fairly inexpensive housing due to good city governance over several decades (social democratic party by and large).

The difference between most North American and European cities in terms of availabke transport choices is not what happened hundreds of years ago, but what city planners did in the post war period (50s to 70s).

It’s not too late however, if you look at the incredible progress Paris had in the past 5 years.

Trumps approval rating still sits at 40 % (https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker).

Something’s seriously wrong with your people, USA…

Our self-interest is that Trump gets recked in the Mid-terms so that all the tariff and war madness gets a degree of oversight and setbacks. Reason number one to just let this play out. This will lead to worldwide economic downturn, but an unhinged and unchecked Trump for a further 2/3 years would be even worse for us.

Secondly the Hormuz Strait is not able to be controlled without boots on the ground in Iran. We did not start this war and we should not participate in it in any way.

Instead of participating in the folly, we should use the financial and personal resources to dampen the impact on the economy and speeding up our path to energy independence.

Just send Barron. Then we’ll consider. Actually we won’t, get fucked anyway but send Barron while you’re at it.

Unsurprising. If the war ends with the dollar having lost its place as the world’s reserve currency (only propped up by oil sales currently), then this would be the biggest defeat of the US in their history because it would mark the end of American global hegemony. I’m not sure that’s a good outcome for the world but it would be the result nonetheless.

Luckily for the rest of the world noone cares what would count as far radical left in dumbfuckistan.

The speed at which China is electrifying HGVs is truly breathtaking.

The speed at which we are getting overtaken by almost every country apart from dumbfuckistan is mind blowing as well.

Maybe the treasury knows something that we don’t?

Gleiches auch bei mir. Ich sehe dem persönlich gelassen entgegen. Sollten die Energiekosten massiv steigen, dann gibt’s halt Solar + Batterie, kann man heutzutage ja auch gut auf Kredit kaufen.

Wenn ich jetzt aber mehr zahlen soll (Steuern, Umlagen), um andere zu subventionieren die diesen Umstieg seit Jahren verpennen und mir dann lieber erzählen, wie toll doch ihre Idee war sich letztens noch ne Ölheizung einbauen zu lassen oder wie toll ihr neues Auto brumm-brumm macht, dann geh ich auf die Straße. Jeder Depp weiß seit Jahren, wo der Wind hinweht.

I doubt, that Israel is stopping before they have tried their uttermost to bring Iran into a civil war like state. Their goal is complete destabilisation or at least regime change. The US’s aim is up to everyone’s guess. Probably just “YOLO” judging by their shifting aims every day.

Because in all the previous strikes the US and Israel did, Iran did back down and only struck back with performative actions (like bombardments with previous warnings) in return (while less overtly funding and supporting proxies in other countries primarily moving against Israel and KSA).

The US felt emboldened that this time Iran would cave as well and give into their demand immediately, because the idiots running the current government can’t understand cultural differences or any strategy apart from schoolyard bullying. To Iran this just shows that they should never have shown restraint in their responses but have to continue playing the escalation game. They know, that with this administration their only chance now is to keep escalating until Trump gives up.

And at the same time Israel has decided, that it now wants to eradicate Iran as a country and use the protest movement and the Kurds as a tool to bring Iran into a complete and permanent state of civil war.

the timeline in which the IGRC’s public statement are more trustworthy than US officials…

New reactors take decades to build. We need to have energy autonomy and move towards net 0 now. We can’t wait for shiny new reactors, which will be ready in 2050, if we start planning now.

These allegations have been out in the public for years. Everyone who has heard Trump speaking once can see how they fit the character 100 %.

But in the US different rules apply to the rich and powerful. So nothing will ever come out of it. And Operation Epstein Fury will keep his followers distracted.

44 % approval rate still.

Well his approval ratings in the US is still 44 %.

He has yolod the world into another war in the middle east and 44 % of Americans are like: “that’s my boy!”.

He could publicly execute his followers at gas stations now and they would still vote for him.

I mean that would be the result if the orange idiot goes through with his announcement, as the EU has a unified trade policy to protect their member states of attacks like that.

The USA needs a functioning education system. Ideally 30 years ago.

They are reaping the “benefits” of decades of decades of public school defunding, pseudo-christian home-schooling and widespread lead exposure.

It’s above 50 % unfortunately. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2784260

By all means. I’m not advocating for them. I can just tell you, that this is where the ultra wealthy put their money. And on an individual level the value of a full-body-MRI for prevention is quite high. There’s a small exclusive club of people who have access to these kind of things and we are not part of it
