I doubt that Tesla needs much more demand at the moment. The demand for Model 3 already exceeds Tesla's production capacity. Until the Chinese Giga Factory 3 is up and producing large numbers, Tesla cannot use an increase in demand for

The Danish system is only super simple if you are a salaried employee. Once you run your own business it’s generally as difficult as the American system.

Don't let tales of a collapse of civilization lead to an immediate collapse of your judgement and focus. This article is full of doom and gloom. Many predictions are made, and they are conveniently quoted as someone else's: "

Where I live, Uber is effectively banned and local alternatives are quietly doing much the same as Uber used to. I don't see Uber being anywhere near beating anyone in Europe.

The US is barely in the top among developed nations, and it's not much better than the next 10-15 countries: https://www.wcrf.org/dietandcancer/cancer-trends/data-cancer... And it's notoriously difficult

And that's the essence of this: In the developed world, this is all but a US specific issue. Cancer and other life threatening diseases rarely bankrupt Europeans, Canadians, Australians, Kiwis, Japanese etc.

Please stop. You may be critical towards the current American immigration policy, as am I, but it is disingenuous to call this a concentration camp. There is no systematic killing of children inside American immigration facilities, and by c

Again, Europe is many different legal systems, and blasphemy laws are not everywhere. I don't like that limitation to freedom of speech anymore than you, but all countries, including the US have limitations such as libel, slander, porn

Don't frame this as a free speech issue. Freedom of speech is as protected in the EU as it is in the US, possibly more. Freedom of speech in Europe is not just an EU question, but also - and mainly - up to constitutions and legislation

British lawmakers accuse Zuckerberg of spectacular leadership failure? Hmm... It’s not that I don’t agree, it’s just a funny accusation coming from them.

In its hundred of years history, its admission system has been discriminating against minorities, going far beyond what only those with "sensibilities" would care about. Recently it has been well documented how Asians have a tough

The EU doesn’t see fines as taxes no more than the US does. The fiscal value of fines is not great. The commission can’t budget how may fines it plans on collecting and from whom. It’s completely different agencies that issue fines and do t

Warran Buffet did indeed have a couple million USD when he was in his 30s, back 55 years ago when a couple of million were worth around 20 million in today's money. Measured in today's money he probably had 2 million at some point

True, but Ireland is less than 5M, 13 seats in the EU parliament. They are not seen as a competition to anyone. The UK is 66M with 73 seats in the parliament, member of G7 and one of the most important economies in the EU.

Now if Britain is leaving, English could be considered as a neutral language so no country has an advantage. It is also still the only language that is taught as a foreign language in close to all primary and secondary schools in the Union.

People come to Wikipedia to get an answer. Many users of Wikipedia are kids, or non-native English speakers for whom contributing is a challenge. Or laymen that don't know about the subject and naturally don't feel like they could

In so far as the empire spread the English language. Otherwise, I am not so sure. I have never heard in a negotiation that a party wanted English venue with reference to the British Empire, respect of English courts or similar. It's si

So do virtually all other Northern and Western European countries. What you have that they don't have is the English language as the native language. Non UK lawyers (as me) chose to UK arbitration etc. because of the language, not beca

When it comes to financial legislation applying to banking, to securities trade etc., English law is largely whatever EU law says it is (it's regulated by the EU). It still remains to be seen what English law will be after Brexit. As f
