  • Apart from every other answer already given, Venice is existentially threatened by the continuous influx of people causing huge costs to the city while contributing absolutely nothing to the local economy.

    I am Italian, I have stayed in my uncle’s house in Rialto and loved to experience the little local life that was left at that time (20 years ago, more or less). Nonetheless, I have made the conscious choice not to visit the city ever again until it gets its shit together.

    It is in fact cursed to disappear, but to deny young people to experience it because it is turning into a Disneyland for old people is just cruel.






  • I am personally supporting Ukrainians every week. I am also pro-rearmament in the EU.

    That said, said by Germany, this should be read as “we are strongly reliant on heavy industries, but our cars in record low demand, so we really, really, really want to build a lot of weapons for Ukraine (and we will keep some for us, while we decide whether to agree or not on standards and common resource pooling with the rest of the EU)”

    EU needs to take several other steps before going head-first into (over-)production of weapons at the levels being discussed here.

    Germany sounds every other day like they forget there other 26 countries with them in the Union. And I could say the same about France, but under the military POV France is much more defendable.
