It is also what you get when people vote left, and the reaction of the rest of the EU is to punish the whole country by imposing upon them even worse creditor conditions, lest people in other countries get funny ideas and a Conservative government gets put in check. Greeks have turned into this direction because the alternative got shot dead, and the people who had hope for it no longer have any.
Increasing working hours means reducing the efficiency of the economy.
Hmm, I wonder what do the crowd that’s constantly preaching about the sanctity of life ever since conception think about this. Wait, what? They don’t like condoms either? Well, ok…
The Youtube comments sections of documentaries of rent poverty in Spain usually get filled with landlords complaining about how the government is taxing them to death, and how relieving them of such taxes would be the solution. Somehow they consistently get plenty of upvotes.
Bitch, if you were being taxed to death you would rush to try and sell those homes, and THAT’S what I want to see happen.
Seeking criminal charges for a democratically elected representative voting in favor of their alleged agenda sounds more fascist than conservative to me. Must be the evolution of language.
But a last-minute change of heart by Austria’s Green climate minister, whose vote is credited with saving the proposal, led to fury in Vienna, with the party of the chancellor, Karl Nehammer, announcing it would seek criminal charges against her for alleged abuse of power.
The fuck?
Ah, yes, I had forgotten I should have invested when my rent was 100€ higher than my income.
Like, I mean, it is good advice for some people at the individual level. Specifically, those who can afford it. But an issue of this magnitude requires political, collective solutions.
I would have agreed some time ago, but they’ve shot the prices through the roof lately.
Spain does actually have a growing issue with water scarcity, so this should absolutely be on the table.
Apparently, France has historically dragged their feet when it comes to letting the Iberian peninsula connect their grid to the rest of Europe.
Which is an absolute shame, because the region should be a gigantic asset to Europe’s renewable energy supply.

I’ll have you know, I have pretty high standards to consider someone an expert.
I’ve been there on tour once, and I just looked at an online map to make sure I didn’t misremember. I also follow a guy on YouTube that talks about geology and has been focused on Iceland lately, so I think that makes me a complete expert.
Oh, no! You’re meeting all of them!
By “crossing the red lines” do you mean ex-Eastern block countries joining NATO? Those countries joined out of their own free will BECAUSE they feared Russia might want to attack them. And, oh surprise, Russia did attack the one country not sucking up to them that didn’t join NATO. Why should Russia’s security be sacred above that of all its neighbours?
If by red lines you don’t mean that, then they’ve clearly not been crossed. Russia and US or EU troops have not directly fought each other, and no country has used nuclear weapons so far.
Do you recognize being invaded by a foreign country is a legitimate problem a country might have to face? If you do, and you oppose private military industry, that means you support public military industry, right?
To anyone acquantinced with Iceland: What kind of logistical issues does this actually provoke? What measures do you typically (or exceptionally) take to make sure that no location runs unsupplied for too long?
Wow, thanks a lot for the extremely detailed response. I suggest you copy it to a txt file at some point in case you get the chance to post it again somewhere else, because it almost feels like a waste that not much more people will pass through the thread.
What’s the front’s position on Palestine-Israel? And taxes?
When they’re asking genuinely, I don’t mind giving a genuine reply. But when it becomes clear they’re doing the online equivalent of filibustering? “You, you specifically are going to pay for it, and I hope it makes you go bankrupt.”
My mind fights my mind every day, and every day, my mind loses that fight.
I was just mostly addressing the fact that none of the reasons for which you claim one of your kids isn’t neurodivergent is actually a valid refutation.
The Central European Bank is governed by the EU. During their debt restructuring negotiations from around a decade ago, Greece’s government negotiated with the other EU governments, not with private banks.
