Netflix was pretty much allowed to run uncontested for years. When the industry finally figured out Netflix was eating their lunch it was too late to catch up.

(Personally I'm biased. The batshit insane Christian nationalists in America scare me more than the Chinese. There's a ideological rift between Western Europe and the US that few people truly appreciate. The things Republicans say

There's a massive demographic increase in single person households. If you're single you have to meet people you can't just retreat into your suburbia castle with your family. Architecture and city planning takes time to catc

European cities didn't have skyscrapers until recently because of "muh monuments muh medieval skyline". It's changing though I'm seeing 40 story (luxury) apartment complexes go up all over Dutch cities.

I see this in my own country. Amsterdam is expensive why not go to the countryside? Where it that easy. Restaurants, clubs, drug dealers, ordering your coffee at Starbucks in English not Dutch- all the things you want as a high rising young

Libraries are government funded. If they don't provide services that people want they're a drain on the city budget.

All the famous chefs didn't become famous from their cooking. They became famous because of their charisma. Jamie Oliver looked really good on camera. AI will never be able to bullshit the way humans can.

If memory serves there was a plan to invade the Azores in WW2 which would have been immensely ironic. After WW2 the US was gracefully handed over a few islands to serve as aircraft bases. The Chinese still lack such soft power so they have

There are rules though: safety is supposed to be equal. The Ryanair pilots have the same training as those flying for Emirates. But in terms of quality I'm okay with "you get what you pay for". You don't have to fly low

COVID was such a cluster fuck that it could have bankrupted airliners. Under normal circumstances they can afford to refund their passengers. Companies need to have an incentive to provide a good service.

Are there cyclists in Las Vegas? I always want Tesla to test their systems in a European urban center, see how they deal with tourists and trams set in picturesque 19th century streets.

Isn't America supposed to be the richest country in the world? You can afford to pay people a decent wage you just don't want to. You could double the price of a beer in NYC or Miami and people would still come.

The Netherlands aside from being Atlantis is also sinking. Nobody is worried because the government will fix it.

Cowboys did manual labor that didn't require much of an education for low pay. How they became the white symbol of Texas is beyond me.

CRTs were ridiculously tiny. I wouldn't want to play games on anything smaller than 55 inches.

Nuclear weapons work as a pretty good deterrent because it's literally impossible to know if your opponent will push the button. Even Russians, famous for their disregard for human life, would not take the risk.

It was pretty obvious as the cold war began that European nations would seek nuclear weapons as a deterrent to USSR invasion. The US preferred to maintain its exclusivity so came up with a pretty a good deal: we'll place our nukes in e
