    Probably not. Heh.

  • Opposition to US has hardened in western Europe after Greenland threat, poll finds

  • It's definitely something that needs to be attacked at a systems level, not a personal one. Divesting your own investments is a small step. Writing your MP is another step. Telling your union's retirement fund that you'd like them to divest is another step.

    Many raindrops make an ocean, I suppose. But there are some people who control rivers that we can influence in a small way.

  • I just don’t see decoupling happening (in my lifetime).

    This is a bit of a "all or nothing" fallacy. It admits to degrees. It's like someone saying that they can't be vegetarian because they like bacon. Dude, just cut out everything except bacon, it's fine.

    Countries reducing their exposure to USD is still a good step, given how unreliable a partner the USA has been the last decade. You don't have to fully dump all your USD bonds to add resilience to your financial system.

  • US power stems directly from its dollar position. Its status as reserve currency is a force multiplier. The immediate step is to reduce exposure to it, which disproportionately reduces US power in the short term.

    The longer this goes on, the more systems decouple from the USA and correspondingly the less power and influence they have.

  • Good luck. It must be small consolation to know that if they win, many more will die.

  • New York City killed outdoor dining and has stopped bus lanes in the name of saving street parking. Yet on Park Avenue, cars park for a week at a time without being used.

    Jump

  • Same way you clear car lanes. Plow and truck the snow. Salt.

  • Well. That would deeply piss me off, too.

  • So they charged you for a photocopy? Or did you receive literally nothing for your money?

    I could see them charging for media and making a download available, perhaps

  • What kind of stupid rule is that?

  • Yeah, we go to Spaghetti Factory (Canada) and fill up on bread and just tip the main course directly into leftovers containers sometimes.
