When people asked for the USA to take a page out of Europe they didn’t mean from the 1930s

This is Hamburg and they do in Hamburg. The AFD barely made it over the 5% hurdle in the last election.

Yeah, e.g. Merkel and Putin. Both can speak German and Russian very well, but they still used translators for offical talks. Too much of a risk to use a phrase or word that means something in one language, but translated it can mean something else or have bad implications.

On that level you don’t want an accidental misunderstanding.

Not even talking about insults, world leaders cpuld identify that, but imagine accidentally promising or indicating something you didn’t want to.

Don’t you think he look tired?

And even that wasn’t enough to destroy all of his public image. Dude could’ve stopped there, some people would’ve disliked him, but as far as the general public is concerned, it didn’t happen or he had a singular brain fart. But he kept fucking up to the point where even the general public is aware what a hack he is. Twitter is of course the pinnacle of his ego.

The biggest irony is that this is what libertarians like Musk say they want: for the state to keep out and have the market regulate. Well, the market is regulating and suddenly he cries about daddy government not intervening.

It used to be different, at least in his effect. Musk managed to create a public persona that for some reason stood for success. That’s how he hyped up e.g. Tesla. It’s a double-edged sword though. Just as a good name can elevate projects, a bad name can tear them down and Musks hype has taken quite the damage in the public eye and his persona turned from a strong asset into a liability.

It 's wild to think that some people might VPN to the EU for basic rights.

This is what solidarity looks like.

Boy, I wonder which Linux distro OP uses

Oh, okay then

Greetings to our Swedish friends, if Tesla already bends before German Unions, Swedish Unions might break Tesla’s neck.

I doubt it’s really that much of an issue, but it’s a decent hook for a lighthearted tourism campaign, which this probably is.

They always do. Walmart completely running against a wall in Germany is still getting a chuckle out of me.

And Sweden is two steps above Germany in that refard. So good luck to Tesla to not get stomped. I’d wish the unions luck, but they don’t need it.

As the articles says

Around 90 percent of employees in Sweden are covered by a collective bargaining agreement

And while Tesla doesn’t have to fight 90 percent of all employess yet. If they’re bringing in strikebreakers all unions must act to not let a prescedence happen.

Not only their own employees would strike, but also employees of suppliers and everything that is connected to Tesla so nothing will reach the company unless Elon personally swings into a truck and drives the stuff into his factories.

Elsewhere he wrote, “Experts project that homosexual marriage is the dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy that could doom even the strongest republic.”

The gays are too powerful. Happily married homosexuals are too strong to contain.

I have an even bigger problem. I have no reference within my company, I am the one who knows the most about programming, which is why praise is inherently hollow because it comes from people who couldn’t make a proper judgement on that.

It’s like me praising someone playing the piano. Like, I can tell if I like it, but this goes basically only to the point of recognize if someone just plays very badly or not.
