Can someone explain to me what makes Taylor Swift so popular?
The reason is that her dad is quite rich and was a stock broker.
He invested heavily in the label that had his daughter under contract, being able to dictate what the label was focusing on and on top he has thrown another Million on her, to start the journey.
So to sum it up a huge tone of money, contacts and knowledge about how to run a business by her father.

That's the Standart in about every developed nation on this planet. I don't get it either what the USA is trying to accomplish there.
A thing that isn't obvious seeing that insanely inflated prices is, that these are prices for individuals and won't be payed by insurances. If you have let's say a 70k hospital bill, the insurance might just say we only pay you 8k. The hospital then takes the 8k and writes of the other 68k as a loss. This results in the hospital not earning any money on paper and they don't pay taxes.
My favorite thing to look at, when it comes to these inflated prices in USA Healthcare ae the prices of saline solution.
Have a read if you're interested.

Never said ultra rich and by any means someone who is able to take over a million out of their pocket to Kickstart anything is rich.

The thing your missing is, when you click only allow non essential, that means it's still 700 companies tracking you because of the great term "legitimate interest". That's the one you need to deactivate and this usually one by one as shown in this post.
So yeah, you're essentially allowing all the stuff the way you're doing it

Abortions in first 12 weeks should be legalised in Germany, commission says
I went in to read the German law itself and it's basically only illegal if certain conditions aren't met and that is getting a counseling beforehand.
I think that's a bit of a far stretch and misleading to say it's illegal but rarely punished etc.
Also the headline is completely wrong, as it is already allowed to get an abortion up to week 12.
Here is the part of the legal text defining the requirements.
Section 218a Exemption from punishment for abortion
(1) The elements of the offence under section 218 are not deemed fulfilled if
1. the pregnant woman requests the termination of pregnancy and demonstrates to the physician by producing the certificate referred to in section 219 (2) sentence 2 that she obtained counselling at least three days prior to the procedure,
2. the termination is performed by a physician and
3. no more than 12 weeks have elapsed since conception.

Besides the insanely huge help she had on the beginning, the bigger part was for sure the knowledge transfer in terms of how to run a monetary wise successfull business.
And yes she is talented, I'm not saying she isn't. But the advantage she had, due to this, speak for itself.

Taylor Swift threatens legal action against Florida student who tracks her jet | CNN Business
Reply in thread
"that one action" lol
She is basically the worst case of private jet usage and leading the list of such individuals, while somehow advocating for the environment.
This is just ridiculous.
And she is trying to fuck that guy up for "stalking" and "harassment", just for showing public data.
On top, for whatever reason, she had 2 private jets flying around until now. Seems like she sold one this month.

The position of a president needs to be held accountable on a higher moral ground then that of ordinary citizens and not the other way around.
If you did shit that would land you in prison, then this needs to be the place where you're at.

German Chancellor Scholz speaks out against new nuclear power
Reply in thread
And the worst, is all the other decisions in Germany lately. They stopped nuclear completely and replaced it by coal. Right now they are tearing down wind turbines, to mine for coal in that spot etc.
So all the arguments talking about "nUcLeAr iS eXpEnSiVe" are missing the point in Germany by a magnitude that is hard to grasp....

It's not that you don't have attention, what your lacking is the control over your attention. This means that you have a harder time directing your attention to what is "necessary".
The result of this might be not being able to focus your attention on something, but it can show also as not being able to shift the attention away from something.
It's actually not two different sides but rather the same.

Looking at history, Id rather say humans bring corruption regardless of the system we're using.
There was no time or system ever where corruption wasn't a thing.

For whoever thinks not voting will be any form of good decision. Ask yourself this question.
How can someone distinguish a not vote because your fine with how things are from a not vote out of protest?
