There's nothing relatively tiny about 1 in 4. Also a quick web search shows every major european election far right parties are winning more and more. Youre doing exactly what America did. Pretending it's not as big a problem isnt going to solve anything. You'd think you'd all know this considering Europe is the home of facism and had the deadliest largest war in human history because of it

Saudi Arabia has executed 100 people so far this year

If one compared to the US black population (49 million) to Saudi population (36 million) with its over policing, being more likely to die interacting with police, and making 40% of the 2024 currently on death row id say the US per capita is probably higher.

France records its hottest day ever as Europe withers in early heat wave
Reply in thread
Honestly its not that bad. Problem is their overly insulated buildings. If you hydrate and wear the right clothing outside you'll be fine. The problem is its probably hotter in their homes than outside. Im in Germany right now and its currently 90°F. Even without AC its more of an inconvenience if you know what to do.
Dont see it too often on here but on other social media sites you see a lot of Europeans (possibly bot accounts) lambasting American buildings for being made of cardboard and tooth picks. Its almost like you should design buildings based on the climate of the region. Problems is the climate is changing and having a building made of lighter materials that dont trap heat and can easily have HVAC systems installed is a better idea if you're living inland

They're more of a status symbol at this point anyway. Adding more fees just gives it more prestige.

I feel like being a CEO is the easiest job on the planet. You can fail and make the dumbest decisions possible yet still be grossly overpaid with little to no consequences

Reply in thread
You still have that population who believe they'll become millionaires some day if they work hard so 5% is small enough that they might actually vote in favor

Except everyone doesnt have the opportunity to vote in primaries because this backwards ass country makes voting in general overly complicated/inconvenient on purpose.
