    So many Americans are delusional. Minimal state and maximal God is their wet dream.
    Deregulate everything and get rid of both controls and services.
    So now Americans can look forward to getting cheated by fraudulent businesses, getting food that is even more unhealthy, and die in unnecessary accidents because there are no safety standards, and enjoy more pollution in both cities and out in the country.

    Minimal state is a moronic idea, what the state needs to be is streamlined to make society better through good regulation and standards that make everything work smoothly.
    Come to Denmark and see how it works, I spend about 3 seconds doing my taxes. I spend zero seconds filling out forms when I need healthcare. This is not about maximal or minimal state, but about having good systems and good regulation and public services that actually work.








  • This was on World News yesterday, but I’ll repeat my comment to it here:
    USA is a rogue state, the fact that they do these things administratively is complete disregard for human rights and complete disregard for the concept of operating within the law.
    It is yet another example of how USA does not respect civil rights of people of other nations, and they don’t respect the sovereignty even of “allied” countries.
    It’s disgusting, and it has infuriated me for decades how we in for instance Europe has allowed USA to do this, without as much as criticism.

    There is no way it can be considered acceptable that USA can apply pressure on what a judge of a sovereign country or international organization decides. Not a judge or any politician or public servant or any private citizen for that matter.
    But the fact that USA has the audacity to go after ICC judges, shows the extreme level of entitlement and exceptionalism USA feel they have in the world.

    USA MUST be treated as a rogue nation, and we can’t allow them to continue. If Amazon does this, we need to ban Amazon in EU.
    And fuck all the idiots that use Amazon cloud services, you should get the fuck away from American services already. It’s been crystal clear obvious that they operate illegally according to EU law at least since Obama was president!
    Why the fuck are people still using their crap!



  • Trump’s Triumphal arch is a joke, it has no symbolism of any value, where for instance the French “Arc de triomphe de l’Étoile” has double significance as praising the success of the Napoleon army, and as a symbolic memorial place for the unknown soldier, and today it has become a historic landmark.

    What Trump is doing is putting up a huge piece of garbage of no value and slab his own name on it.
    It’s a cheap copy of “the original” in Paris, both in concept and design. Much like a cheap Chinese copy of a Vuitton designer piece.
    Trump has no style and no class, only someone completely without any sense of either could think such a project is cool.



  • Remember Elon Musk knows more about production than probably anybody else on this planet. /s

    Which is probably the reason that in Denmark 30% of his cars fail their first mandatory security check at 4 years. And in Germany 17% fail their first check at 2 years. Previously unheard of bad results in both countries, even the cheapest cars are doing better!
    And his rockets keep failing. And his FSD is nowhere near working yet, and his demonstrations of his fully automated robots are shown again and again to actually be remote controlled.

    The guy is a megalomaniac, which some people confuse with being a genius because they are stupid.
