Now, disconnect the water, electricity, and network.

So it's on us to avoid U.S. made products, got it.

So... we are going to rely on American weapons to defend Europe? When America has declared that it will take Greenland... which is part of Europe as far as I can tell. Are we even able to manufacture ammunition for them, or perform larger maintenance tasks?

Thanks for contributing - it's good to get a perspective outside of the usual North America/Europe duopoly.

I've been to Mumbai, and 1km is fine for us Europeans, but depending on their location, it can be a life-threatening experience due to the intense traffic, pollution and heat.

I love that Hobbes is putting clothes on to get in the pool, not taking them off.

That's ass.

That's arse, surely.

Even a German style 58€ per month pass for all public transport would be good, even if it's not completely free.

Why do we need a video to share five words!?

Sure, it will. In the middle of nowhere due to 'engineering work'.

Isn't that just an annual holiday? Don't you get those in the U.S.?

I want to point out that this is not unique to the U.S. - farming in Europe and the U.K. suffers from the same problem. I suspect that many other countries have the same issue too.

I wonder what the effect of raising wages for farm labourers would be? Surely, it would cause inflation. Does everyone get a pay rise, including the farm labourers, to compensate (inflationary spiral) or will we revert back to norm by excluding them?The truth is - we (yes that includes me!) need to get used to a much simpler lifestyle if we are going to fix this. That will be political suicide though... so here we are with the only compromise that is politically viable.

Its the Reichstag fire moment they've been waiting for...

Not much, though - I'm English, and we worked out it would cost £20k for the various visas. On top of that, you need to pay an NHS premium, even though you would already be paying for it through the usual national insurance deduction from your salary. It will also take 10 years before they are a citizen.

We decided to stay here (Germany). Less costs and, sadly, better health care.

FFS, the writing is on the wall - move out of the US so you are not subjected to this crap.

Yeah.... and very large chunk of the Objects in the Louvre were stollen...

More like "Bullshit about"

I fear they are waiting for their Reichstag fire. On the other hand, IMHO the only way to deal with this is to get all Canadian with the White House...

More like one or two domains.

Two middle-aged women screaming at each other as they fight outside a rundown pub in a small, nondescript town at 2am. They're wearing dresses more suited to teenagers than adult women, but they don't give a fuck - its Friday, and they're going to get wasted. A small group of people has gathered round to watch, this being just about the only entertainment available here. In the distance, you can hear a police siren. It seems this will be over soon.
