Excellent news. Even if he made a few too many vital blunders in debates to be the PM, he's a really good leftist politician and he absolutely deserves that seat.
Fun fact, a Tesla spokesperson describing the car's features was talking about how they wanted something on the car that didn't make it to final release and said "But sadly we couldn't get that law changed", which does... kind of imply that they lobbied the regulatory bodies into allowing this piece of shit to exist.
You can kind of see how all these problems would compound with each other and make each other worse. Of course people don't wand to pay taxes to a government that will waste or embezzle their money. But the government does need money to make things happen that might improve the situations of the everyday worker. The government needs competent administrators, lawmakers and judges to properly regulate the private sector, but the private sector can pay a competent person triple what the government pays because the private sector isn't subject to laws that force them to be ethical.
Guess there's a reason that corruption is such a common cause of failed governments.
Somehow this is worse than Reddit. Sure Reddit isn't good, but at least Reddit was sane enough to understand concepts like 'working too much is deeply unhealthy both physically and mentally' and 'corporations should not hold absolute power'
Quality is a spectrum. Sure, Mercedes isn't Rolls-Royce. Mercedes makes cars as their main business and turns a profit from that, Rolls-Royce is a company that makes aircraft engines and produces cars sometimes as publicity stunts (because a car built to the tolerances of an aircraft engine is, shockingly, going to be very precise and well-made).
But Mercedes is definitely a higher quality of build than like. Fiat or Ford. To an average person, you buy something like Toyota if you want reliability and a long-lived vehicle, or Mercedes for a smoother drive full of tiny little expensive gadgets that will probably develop a fault after 3 years.
(No idea why they've listed BMW here though lol, those things just love perpetually breaking down, because the systems they use to get that unique tactile feedback while driving that some people crave are absolute dogshit when it comes to life expectancy. They use a fucking chain for a timing belt instead of rubber. Don't ever buy one unless your idea of luxury is constantly having to shell out on repairs and tow trucks. If you have to experience one, just like. Get one as a hire car so you don't have to own the fucking thing.)
Listen. I do not want fucking ads in the start menu. I have no idea how to code and I can't use the command terminal to save my life but I swear to god I'm going to switch to Linux before I touch Windows 11 with a 10-foot pole
Alright I know the statement is one that's very dependent on context, but... man, that phrase could have come right out of Putin's mouth circa 2022 while he was trying to justify his invasion of Ukraine.
I'm gonna say (as someone that was sucked into the psychological torture machine that was the conservative media loop in 2016) that Hillary didn't lose for being a moderate. Trump was by far at his strongest in 2016; his insanity was a basically unknown factor and he did a legitimately great job seeming to flip the bird at 'the system', and the conservative propaganda machine had a LOT of points to attack Hillary with that had nothing to do with her moderate politics. Trump promised the world and had all the charisma to sell the world too, and Hillary... I honestly can't remember anything about her platform at all.
In my personal opinion, Hillary could absolutely have won that election if the Democrats hadn't been complacent about it. Maybe not a landslide victory, but I think it would have been a very solid win.
Yeah that checks out. I'm not even american but I've got to say every single American healthcare worker I've ever met on Discord is CONSTANTLY and incurably miserable because they work inhumane hours for so little money that they actually can't afford rent anyways. I know someone that spent an entire month doing 10-hour shifts 6 days a week which made him unbelievably sick and exhausted, and by the end of it then his paycheck didn't cover replacing his car's spare tyre. I know someone else who was ordered to come in every single day in the two weeks after her mother died and on the day of the funeral or she would be fired immediately and without recourse, while her boss took his fifth vacation of the year. I know someone who spent seven years studying to be a nurse and their debts are so bad that I've had to talk them out of suicide twice because the job doesn't pay SHIT.
TLDR: Frankly I'm amazed America still has ANY healthcare workers based on the ones I've met. The situation isn't great in a lot of places because medicine can be expensive, but good lord is it truly bad in America.
Aside from the usual conundrum of "any way to not starve or become homeless that doesn't involve whoring out to corporations has been removed from society", Tesla... wasn't always like this. Musk didn't found it. Musk didn't build it. He just bought it so he could pretend to be clever.
if it was just him quitting, that would be terrible; it would be an anti-war person giving up their power to legally obstruct the war.
It's "his opposition National Unity party will withdraw from the coalition government". Unless this article is missing something, wouldn't breaking up the coalition just basically completely paralyse Israel??
