Not if you include trade barriers like the DMA, a law which is used to milk US technology companies through vague court rulings with arbitrary fines. The EU is the undisputed king of vague laws that are applied principally to competitors wi

The US economy was not strong in 2024. Cost of living was literally the most important election issue, and it is what decided the election undoubtedly. It's partially because elites said 'the economy is great! look at my stocks!&#

It doesn't make sense because you didn't read the original board. It clearly states 'including trade barriers'. You're attacking a strawman. Countries, including the EU, like to have 'low tariffs' and then

Fidelity valuing at $10B is ancient outdated news no longer reflective of reality, the value had skyrocketed in recent months, given the profits which now exceed profits as a public company. [1] [2] In fact, Twitter debt is selling at 97% o

So the first sentence is fact and then it veers into wild unsubstantiated predictions (egg prices never spike that high for Easter, the journalist is delusional).

Why do you suggest a side that is undoubtedly winning forget about their hundreds of thousands dead and simply withdraw? It's like saying the US should've surrendered to Japan after the first bomb. Japan knew they were in an unwin

The idea that Europeans are concerned about Russian expansionism is fanciful. Germany is addicted to Russian gas and has funneled billions to the regime, building up their military for decades. Maybe that wouldn't be so bad if Europe h

X plunging in value is outdated information. EBITDA is double what it was when it was public ($682m to $1.25bn). Revenue is down, but profit is up substantially, due to aggressive cost management. XAI is valued at another $40bn as well.

Canada imposes sneak tariffs on imported US goods in the form of dairy quotas on US producers, so it's very hard to make the case that they're an innocent party here. They want tariff-free oil exports while strangling US dairy imp

Obama had a super majority and could've done single payer, but he let the insurance companies write the ACA while letting Citibank choose his cabinet. Such is life when you give Democrats the power they need to make change. They'l
