Now imagine how bad European militaries are. All of Europe can't even push back a broken husk of Russia.

>Them not launching in Europe gives the local market a chance to build up its own players Exactly! This is what is genius about Trumps tariff strategy, as you correctly point out. Blocking Chinese EVs gives a chance to bully up local pla

He told you why: because it's in America. You can bet if Europe paid those wages and the US didn't we'd be hearing about wage suppression and underpayment instead.

Europe is mighty, independent, strong and decoupling from the US, but also everything bad Europe does is because the big old meanies in the US made them do it against their will

Those may be the facts now, but not forever. It's gonna take a while to have noticeable effect. That doesn't mean what he's saying is not about to come true.

A speech is the definition of a hypothetical. I can show you a million Trump speeches that "show" the opposite. Something tells me you wont take those as gospel for some reason. >It's not like trade deals are ripped up ove

This. The US is playing the right move with solar panels, wait for the bubble to burst and then swoop in. Let China take the early losses.

Can't relate. ChatGPT is so much more snivelling than Gemini, for example.

>It’s fancy instant payments That's a massive oversimplification, and doesn't even address the OP's point that directly challenges this. Lot of errors in your post. Not to mention the fact that you confuse Mastercard and V

How much are a dozen eggs at your local store? Curious to stress test your theory. I assume they're at least $10/dozen?

Can you cite the especially in the US part? Maybe use Bolivia, Kosovo, and Indonesia as some random global comparisons.

Just like the energy industry is killing itself until this idiotic bubble bursts again. Can't wait till oil / solar prices implode and there's a decade of drought where no one users energy for a long time.

Great, great point. That's why people who say NATO can't be relied on anymore aren't making sense - NATO never elected Trump, so his involvement or opinion on it doesn't matter.

Europe doesn't seem to care so much about erratic and hostile governments when it cozied up to Russian gas for decades, something it still continues to do just hiding behind third party countries. It's a clear statement that Europ

This is signaling to US companies that non-US providers cannot create cutting edge capabilities for their models. Major alarm bells should be ringing for anyone not using a US-based LLM.

Nothing in the original post mentioned the US. Germans all think this way. What a German-centric view. Germans tend to think anything they don't do is just America-centric. And get real angry when other countries dont just have the sam

And in even even more countries, it's actually perfectly fine to do any of that. In before your definition of the world is a handful of tiny white countries

I love how Europeans claim they aren't one country but then refuse to specify where they're from. Anyway that sounds like a very specific view only in your country since it's completely fine in the North American country in w

So? Did they ask me about it? I don't approve of it and I don't think it's secure enough for a bank. Absolute negligence.

My bank uses XML for their internal tooling without even asking me. How is that even legal? I can't even imagine all the other tool choices businesses I interact with make without getting my sign off.
