  • Harsh, but fair.

  • It's Christmas, it doesn't hurt to see a few cute animals. Not everything has to be doom and gloom.

    Merry Christmas.

  • I mean, sure. No checks needed before.

  • They're going to use AI to identify and block ads for me, right? Or let me set a cookie preference and automatically apply that to every page I visit?

    That would be rather useful things to have AI for IMHO.

  • Not everything is unified sadly. I read somewhere that when it comes to services, the different rules within the EU is effectively a 40% tariff between EU countries.

    There is much to be done, if only people could set aside national interests and understand that it's EU27 vs World and not Finland vs Italy or Greece vs Luxembourg.

  • I think it's the latter. Right now the EU doesn't have the capability to provide the level of intelligence that Ukraine needs to effectively fight back, so the EU is very careful not to upset the orange one right now. Most other things we can manage, but not that. Having the US help, even if it's a reluctant help, is good for both the EU and Ukraine.

    How to Actually Decouple from America - TLDR News EU

  • Very true on the outside pressure, especially now. On the point of tech giants I kind of agree but not quite, we should try to build our own, industry up, but regulate them to prevent the dominance of the big three US cloud providers for example. The problem here is that tech scales very well, so the bigger you are the better your services.

  • The UK needs to realise that brexit really was a bad idea and they only can stand up to the US as part of the EU.

    The UK is a big economy and is still being kicked around. My country would be absolutely curb-stomped if outside the EU.

  • The economy adapts to the supply of workers, and as the UK found out after brexit, if you restrict the supply of workers the work generally goes away.

    They had produce rotting in the fields because they couldn't find workers and the locals weren't interested in that kind of work. Raising salaries wasn't an option because consumers weren't interested in paying more. Economics is fun, isn't it?

  • Thanks.

  • Out of curiosity, why would you prefer that your country be outside of the EU, and what would be the benefits you think?

  • That's some Trump maths right there. But if you find a service 110% cheaper let me know, because I'll buy A LOT from them. 😁

  • I mean, it's better than no internal market, but it sure can get a whole lot better.

  • It's not missing, it's just very VERY far down.

    No idea what happened.
