Quak, Quak, quuaakk
But these are the city and another party. Civil liability etc. separate investigations that come after the FBI.
So yeah, it really sucks for these guys. And the judge should put a clock on the time the city and other parties have, so these guys can go home asap.
They are material witnesses.
Yeah, with their occupation of south Ossetia, invasion of Ukraine, enslavement of Uyghurs and 9 dash line shenanigans. Fuck em.
You will be the one screetching “bullshit” once the tariffs come out and the EU and US pivot away from China hard, aren’t you?
Geopolitics start with warning and some light pressure. But there are plenty of countries around the world that would love to get foreign capital to start their industrial base.
The fact that a lot of raw materials come from Africa makes it smart to move some there. Lift population out of poverty, cut down on transport and move it closer at the same time.
Yeah, fuck laws, Right?
Nice post. If anything the curator could claim advertising costs maybe.
If anything I hope this smeghead ends up drawing his whole inner circle with him down the black hole he should be going.
Yes, in a world without nuclear weapons.
The moment NATO troops show up in Ukraine for combat duties the dynamics change dramatically. Russia will point at it and tell “see, they are here to invade” to drum up more aupport, they might even start deploying conscripts to the conflict.
It probably would help more to cut off Russias ability to circumvent the sanctions. Deploy navies to check more ships and such. Close the Bosporus for ships from and to russia. Also working on their ability to recruit abroad would probably help a lot.
NATO taking over the defense of the Ukraniane-Belarus border could be an option though as well as the airspace of Western Ukraine.
And lastly, more equipment… much more. 4 additional patriots, and shells… so many shells.
Yes they where, and the FDA, but not the FBI (although post Trump they do… but move the funds to Homeland security)
Here in the Netherlands our Liberal party (VVD) supported by christian democrats (CDA) and the current ruling party (PVV)… all right wingers. Did something similar, when in charge. They declared the housing market “fixed” and said that the commercial market would resolve any housing issues left. They proceeded to close down the whole branch of government the Ministry of housing. That was in 2010. Now 24 years later, houses are at their most expensive and the shortages ar at their highest ever. It is estimated it will take till at least 2038 to fix the issue.
So… (Corporate) fatcats got fatter, people are paying a larger share of their income for a roof over their heads… but the government was smaller for 24 years and all those house value increases made the GDP look Soo nice.
This is what politicians mean when they say small government. Gut all agencies tasked with oversight except the police.
The fact he can keep his mansion is bullshit. Go rent a studio appartement. Pay your debts
But for that you can also wear protective clothing, no?
You can also get a more comfortable softer riding saddle instead of a hard racing one. It really depends on the bike.
For rain and stuff in the Netherlands (we have some rain) you can get a rain suit I causing pants you can just wear over your normal clothes to work.
Make sure the rain suit has reflector strips or patches… your lighting and reflectors are key in Beiing seen.
Depending on the commute distance getting an Ebike helps keep your speed up without becoming massively sweaty. You can still exercise but you do it at a steady 25kph.
For groceries you can get cargo bags for on the back of the bike. Depending on the type you get they can store a lot.
Listening to music… put in one earbud only and have the volume low. But in the Netherlands we have mostly separate bike infra (protected bikebanes and such) so this might still be dangerous if there is no good bike infra.
Lastly, you can choose other routes that would normally not work by car. If you find a cut through somewhere, you maybe can avoid the dangerous stroads all together.
Wanted to reply to OP. Moving my post.
Hehehe… it should be tankies and indeed my dutch autocorrect did that… and it also works. So I’ll leave it.
I’d argue it is not really left wing. Or maybe not JUST left wing. Sure these people have some left ideas, but that is not all, and for sure is not the most important.
This is what the word “Tankie” refers to.
They (tankjes) go out of their way to argue for totalitarian governments and dictators. As it it is some kind of fetish.
They deny the wrong doing of countries like Iran, china, Russia and other totalitarian states as if all the wrongdoing by these countries actually are not real and just some big plot by the evil western propaganda machine.
They deny tainnamen square massacre, maidan is a cia coup, Iran is actually not that bad… the list is endless.
They are worshippers at the altar of totalitarianism, the trump supporters but then for people like Putin, khameini, xi. Tankjes cheer on countries like north Korea while it starves it’s citizens, deflect human rights issues in Iran with whatabout … Saudirabia, muricah, etc… Tankjes believe Hamas are fighters for the people, chant “from the river to the sea” while with the same breath saying it is all the wests own fault, Jews caused it all themselves… You know, the abusers credo… “Look what you made me do”.
Please don’t construe any of my above remarks as saying “west good, west blameless”.
But that is my opinion. Left wing is not a feature of what is going on on these instances. It is just noise between the vitriol.
My advice, block Hexbear, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml on instance level. And if you come across one of their loons arguing the above point, block the user and move on. Nothing of value is gained by engaging these Trolls that spread misery across the internet.
Yeah, everything is expressed in monetary value. But health, clean air, clean water, health nature do not have monetary value, so they don’t matter.
GDP is the total of wealth generated. So a housing shortage, pushes up housing prices, which looks good on the books… look at all that economic growth.
As is foretold on project 2025
Oh Lord, won’t you bribe me, a Mercedes-Benz…
Cheap - fast - good… Pick 2
