I don't think I have the skillset and personality that would me allow to rise to the top of the hierarchy in a brutal totalitarian regime built on religious fanaticism. So no I would not do that. > armed insurrectionists Unfortunate

Well besides being 20 years too late. Germany's energy policy was basically do nothing to build renewables, close all nuclear plants and blindly trust Russia for decades... Besides being a great friend of Putin one of Germany's pr

Well Russia doesn't have much going for it besides oil, nukes (and obviously Trump propping it up).

Well Trump doesn't exactly have the sufficient work ethic, mental acuity or sense of purpose to as much damage (and hopefully not more than a handful of years left on this earth in general to end up having to shot himself in a bunker).

No, laws should be imposed top to bottom. If those at the top who are making the laws can do absolutely anything with no repercussions while everyone else is punished that severely decreases the trust anyone has in the system and weakens it

Some extreme double standards? Unless you think there is some reason why those running that same federal government are free to commit any type of federal crimes they wish with no repercussions...

I don't quite get what you mean? EPP is technically in power (whatever that means in the European Parliament). But also why would that matter? Or they wanted to force a vote just so they could vote against it (which is not necessarily

I don't quite get it, so the conservatives wanted/want to repeat the vote but also the EPP voted against it and the Socialists supported it?

Maybe? Seems not particularly relevant. It's not like this cost is tied to the particular tax rate.

Is it? https://www.vda.de/en/news/facts-and-figures/annual-figures/... Number of cars exported to China seems very low based on this? Even lower than Belgium...

Well at least 10-15 you could just copy pasted exact same thing in a few minutes yet. But regardless even a basic notepad app is significantly more than a tkinter window with an input field.
