We actually need to end the "gig worker" business model where they're racing around all day and reckless driving translates to more money.

Related podcast: Why I'm Ebike-pilled (with American Fietser) - YouTube (The Urbanist Agenda Podcast). They get a bit into the problem of producers trying to sell more "pseudo-motorcycle" vehicles and how the arms race and regulation race work out.

>EU officials familiar with the discussion said the Commission had decided that the UK joining PEM was not currently in the EU’s interests, because it would increase the risk of products unfairly qualifying for low-tariff access to the bloc.
Makes sense.

Far-right and ancap/neolib types love austerity.
If you look at it from a certain angle, fascist parties are especially about imposing some sort of austerity in order to make sure that a special class gets more wealth and privilege.
Here's a relevant interview:

I do love seeing car parking spaces get tighter and tighter. The bigger the cars, the less road and parking there is go around. Unlike the US, European cities will not be demolishing themselves to make room. The future is not cars.

Interconnection of networks means that it is literally connected to Europe. Even if you don't have solidarity for Americans, the data of Europeans is also getting in there.
These conflicts will be in the news, hopefully soon, as EU institutions should demand more to protections (or else - fines).

There's a looming "conflict" between those US tech companies and the EU.
Know your enemy.

Same as in Romania. After the far-right loser lost, they started pushing lies for starting conflict.
Do not treat them as anything close to "harmless".
