Sure yeah, sign a deal and find out. If you’re a true european you’ll be checking labels: Made in USA? trash, don’t buy. Deal around and find out.

burning teslas makes no sense. just stop buying them. there are plenty better alternatives, from actual car makers, not from a hobby company.

Sure Igor!

Eu own cloud data centers?! Where do I sign up?

If Slovakia keeps opposing sanctions, I guess they can just take funds from Russia then, as EU should stop all funding and let them boil in their own stupidity. You get what you vote for. You don’t like EU? then GTFO!

I am an european resident and home owner in Spain and living here full time (I’ve moved here with my family around 5 years ago) and I agree with its citizens. Vacation homes have been a nuisance on peoples lives for a whole now for multiple reasons:

1. Airbnbs are atrocious to communities and to people who actually live there full time ( even if community laws exists and ate voted for by the majority of owners, others simply don’t respect them)

2. Lots of tourists are notoriously known for not giving a fuck about anyone or anything and having a bratty behavior toward everyone else.

3. Because of point 1 low to middle class spaniards can barely -or simply not- afford homes anymore.

4. Far right extremism is growing because of government not being able to handle outside EU immigration properly and basically everyone who doesn’t share the same values, just segregate themselves into ethnic groups, making it harder for both sides to mingle.

5. I’ve seen it with my own eyes how, when a place raises in notoriety, it also raises in unlawful behavior by attracting pickpockets or other unlawful behavior or simply squatters, who are historically a huge pain on everyone( okupas)

All of the above is ofc IMO and subjected to dispute, but this is a general feeling among a lot of people.

I don’t think it’s that black&white really, plus the title is somewhat clickbaity. The article quotes

“"At the moment, I am against Ukraine's entry into the European Union," Polish President-elect Karol Nawrocki told Hungarian outlet Mandiner in an interview released on June 7.

"On the one hand, we must support Ukraine in its conflict with the Russian Federation, but Ukraine must understand that other countries, including Poland, Hungary, and other European countries, also have their own interests”.

The guy is not pro-russian, but opposes Ukraine currently joining EU. Ukraine also has to join EU following procedures, like every other country has, historically.

This is the way!

whenever I see any opinion from this shell of a person, I feel the exact same way. Same as Trump: toddler background chatter.

Our european leaders have gotten lazier and lazier over time, with eastern block countries heavily affected by corruption and populist nationalistic propaganda has been spreading like wildfire recently.

It’s time to get off our high horse and start investing in ourselves more and stop looking up to anyone else. They are not better than us, they were made to appear so and we’ve been just taking everything at face value.

We have both the manpower and the resources, we just need to be more united and support and push for more relevant policies in our countries.

Dunno, maybe it’s wishful thinking , but I just don’t want to be defined by what other countries say or do. We have to think for ourselves.

A couple of toddlers won the not-so-popular vote and now their egostistical egos are showing. nothing but baby talk and they need to be put in their place by their european grandmas.

I have switched to all of the things you mentioned a while back and never looked back, but it’s impossible to get friends of family to so the same. For them web search == google, browsers == google chrome, facebook is the only existing internet service and the same with whatsapp.

I’m afraid that, no matter how hard we try, we will always and forever be a part of a lonely niche.
