I was just going to comment this too. All the guy did is make it easy for people to email their representatives a stock letter to complain about policy they don’t like, which is something people should be doing if they don’t like a policy.
If they found they were all sent by bots with fake emails I’d buy it’s spam.
That’s awful news
there are data-center companies that are collateralizing their loans by staking their giant Nvidia GPUs as collateral.
These guys really treat the right as idiots. Please gently remind any right-leaning acquaintances of this if you can. Remind them to use their eyes and ears.
How to know when you’re being manipulated for someone else’s ends 101. Elon Musk is no one’s friend.
Oh wow I thought that was a US thing
Asked about what concessions, if any, the US had made in the talks, the Commission chief replied with a general remark about shared prosperity.
“The starting point was an imbalance, a surplus (of goods) on our side and a deficit on the US side. We wanted to rebalance the trade relation, and we wanted to do it in a way that trade goes on between the two of us across the Atlantic,” she said.
Let me get this straight… EU has a lot of goods the US needs. US does not have a lot of goods the EU needs. So the EU, which seems to have the upper hand, agrees to sell their goods to the US at a lower price? Is this mainly to avoid stepping on the toes of EU merchants that would like to sell to the US market specifically?
the extreme right ideologies seem to be effective at making their movements feel like social communities even at large scales. Really shitty fandom communities complete with cosplaying and their own fictional universe and two dimensional enemies but communities nonetheless.

“Envy toward the bottom” so well said. People are so disappointing.
Americans have to file taxes with the IRS regardless of who is paying them and where the company is based. There are tax breaks available (on taxes owed to the US) if you are living and paying taxes in europe to avoid double taxation for the most part. It makes the paperwork a little more tricky but it’s still done frequently and isn’t “very unlikely.” The most difficult part isn’t your american taxes it’s making sure you’re paying taxes correctly in your new country. It will make it easier if you work for a multinational company (like Schneider Electric USA, for example) where they already know the ins and outs of taxation in both countries, but I’ve known people to do this out of smaller companies as well.
You could also consider working an american job remotely in Europe
It might be a good time to check for local food co-ops in your area. Usually these arrange for you to order items directly from local farms and pick up from someone in your neighborhood. Some of them are produce only but some offer local dairy and meat and even baked goods too. Do some digging (ask on nextdoor?) if you can’t find one because sometimes they’re quite small. In college I used one that accepted EBT!
The study, published by the University of Oxford’s Wellbeing Research Centre, asked people to rate their own lives on a scale of 0-10 - zero being the worst possible life and 10 being the best possible life.
Maybe finns write 10 because they think their lives are the least bad of their possible life trajectories
Also the Kushner and Flynn stuff. Literally wanted a back channel to communicate with russia but whatever. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Links_between_Trump_associates_and_Russian_officials
AAA did a similar service with cars in my area and someone did one with mopeds but both those seem to have died. I had to call AAA several times because people parked the cars blocking my apt building’s driveway so the inconvenient clutter issue seems to scale for some reason. The scooter/ebike service that’s survived so far in my area will unload a whole fleet in the middle of a busy sidewalk and just leave them there it really is quite badly managed. The docked (Lyft) bikes are much less of a nuisance clutter-wise but aren’t well maintained so people don’t use them much.
