"We fail to understand the consideration of non-EU candidates for such a high-ranking and strategic position, ... We are very concerned about the opposite views she publicly expressed and the potential conflict of interests between her new role and her previous functions with large American tech companies."
"No matter how competent, this is not in our strategic interest,"
"Don't we have excellent economists in the EU?"
Maybe by using violent imagery to describe polite questions and expressions of opinion, we devalue the seriousness of war and cast people asking genuine questions as destructive.
Why does English even have an idiom that equates shooting people with criticism? Do other languages do this?
Sorry for somewhat off topic post, I have no stake in or opinion on her job offer. I just got the shits with figuratively inflammatory language as a mechanism of engaging users in media and then realised it goes culturally even deeper.
They’re going into a serious recession, between real estate and interest rates elsewhere slowing investment and spending there’s no major growth engine anymore, their consumer spending is collapsing in anticipation of a severe downturn.
It is truly wild how far cops will go to continue being shitty and not bettering themselves. Not surprising or shocking at this point, but just fucking wild.
Yes, our cops have a heavy bias against black people. It’s pretty obvious if you swap traffic so stories with black people and non black people. Most of those biases result in more traffic fines, and other citations that are technically against the law, but they usually ignore it if you’re not black. Total bullshit, and needs to be addressed.
Them trying to cover it up is a very unsurprising things for our cops to do, with their stupid ass “it’s not our fault black people commit more crimes” metality. But considering how I’ve seen and read about the straight up harassment, abuse, and fatal incidents stared by cops in other states, it could be worse. CT cops are… Well I won’t say good… I’d say they’re like Walmart floor stockers. They spend more time making it seem like they’re doing their job that actually doing it, trying to take as much free shit as they can get away with, and if you ever ask them for help they’re too busy.
If they take this finding, fire the offenders, and use it to tighten up on their obvious racial bias, we might have a semi-passable police force.
I would be amazed if they weren’t hit harder, many orthodox jews live in dense communities and there is a genetic disposition to immunodeficiency disorders.
While driving down to OC earlier today, my wife commented how dry things looked along the mountains, saying how it might be a bad wildfire season.
I said it’ll probably be even worse in a few months but I guess I was off by a little (although I bet it’ll be hell in October/November when things get real dry).
Yeah, it's definitely going to be bad this year. The big rainstorms we got this winter caused a lot of growth, and anything east of the Bay Area is already dry up here in the north - had a couple of small local blazes already. The one saving grace is that we lucked out on cooler weather and late rain, but it's clear that our luck at climate roulette is beginning to turn.
Not going to lie, I take great guilty pleasure telling friends in other states about how it’s 78 degrees here by the coast. Especially the ones who make fun of California being so hot. But yeah, I’ve got my air filters ready…
whats annoying is news regarding Trump gets downvoted here even if its center or left leaning which is really bad thats how you get echo chambers. people need to stop downvoting shit just because they don’t like the news.
Unfortunately, not only are you going to be right but Trump will most likely win… Biden hasn’t done anything meaningful enough to sway center leaning uninformed average Joes to the left
