Labour laws have much less of an impact than the work or overall culture. Sweden has quite strong labour protection but can be much more innovative than Germany because there's much less emphasis in respecting titles, seniority, and au

It has put like 3 million, a quite a lot due to their social class. Disproportionately impacting a minority ethnicity in the process.

A fixed one, not one that can suffer snowballing increase in case your bet is wrong.

Because everyone knows how easy it is to play Trump, do a standing ovation and his ego is satisfied so it's easier to deal with him. Exactly like you'd do with a toddler :)

It is mind boggling how you keep trying to deflect away given your narrative. > Trump got a standing ovation at Davos and got a deal for Greenland And you don't know what is the deal, at all, so how can you base your entire argument

But that isn't the analogy, is it? Betting on the trainwreck is quite easy, you got nothing to lose in the analogy, while shorting companies will cost you something, most times a lot if the bet has the wrong timing.

There'll be a vacuum filled by non-US brands, China is learning and given they'll push to be independent eventually they'll compete with AMD/Intel/Nvidia, Europe has ARM. The worst thing in the long-term for America

None of these ideals are how reality works though. In reality consumers aren't completely rational, don't have access to perfect information, and the models for pricing/advertising have perverse incentives to extract as much

I don't understand why you are trying to defend through debate tactics the morality of shooting someone down on their knees while 4-6 agents of the State pile on top. Does it really matter what rhetorical mechanism someone tries to use

You have at least two videos to watch and see if it was a situation requiring an execution. No need to read press releases, your own eyes and ears.

1/12th of that is still US$ 83 billion. Think it's still quite a big incentive to try to juice up the metric.

Helmut Kohl's was the one snubbing Putin ambition of NATO membership, not Clinton. > And I'd like to point out that the Soviets kept Germany divided for a justifiable reason: 27 million Russians died at the hands of Germany&#x2

Russia was offered to join NATO a long time ago, during Yeltsin years there was a whole lot happening to help the approach of Russia to NATO. Don't know how old you are but if you are 40+ you should remember the NATO-Russia Founding Ac

What would you suggest should have been done with Russia about the invasion of Ukraine?

It does matter to follow through with your values though. Humanity isn't supposed to be just minmaxing economical output, a common set of values that we strive for is much more inspiring than burning everything to the ground, and leavi

I believe what Bessent is leaving aside, probably not out of ignorance but for rhetoric sake, is that Denmark isn't alone, alone it would be a small player (while still being disproportionately bigger for its relative size and populati

It's quite odd, the past days there's been this messaging from different users about how old allies haven't been good allies. First I saw this point about Denmark, now Canada. Hard to understand where this is coming from, it&

How are you unsure? You don't think the USA benefitted from the world order it set after WW2, with NATO, setting up a global system of economical hegemony and become the wealthiest nation on the history of mankind? What else do you wan

Denmark is a founding member of NATO, deployed troops to Afghanistan when the US was attacked on 9/11 and lost 40+ soldiers. Denmark has spilled blood for the US. It's an ally as much as it could be, the US's presence in Gree

Greenland emphatically rejects becoming part of the US [0]. As others pointed out they already have the option to ask for independence from Denmark. What else, exactly, do you want? [0] https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada&#x

The US was allowed to do businesses deals in Greenland, American billionaires have bought companies to do exactly that there, it was never an issue and the Danish and Greenland governments were always open for that. I don't understand

In Sweden it's allowed to carry over 5 days (or maybe more depending on the collective agreements, a bit hazy on that) from the previous year, for a maximum of 5 years. So if you save 5 days every year by year 5 you can take 25 additio

It only makes sense if it means Russia/USSR doing the tests and nuclear fuel reprocessing on the Far East but rather strange to call it "in Europe". Can't see any other country in Europe which could've caused it fro

Not even the US can stand against China by itself... The EU still has a large military industrial base getting revitalised as we speak, it didn't rot, it simply didn't need to pump out massive amounts of gear until this point. Pol
