  • The regulation is such an insane patchwork, sometimes people can retire earlier than the normal retirement age, if they’ve been working for many years. And if you health is bad there are special programs for that. (Yes as in multiple!)
    But clearly as you state, the system is made to benefit the rich more an more. The social democrats who are part of the government are no longer looking after the average Joe, but making things worse, and then they make special programs for propaganda purposes.
    A lot of people have been convinced this is necessary, as life expectancy increases, disregarding increased automation and wealth in our society.



  • No point in trying to keep him happy, he can just go fuck himself.
    If he likes transactional relationships, maybe he should begin to consider offering something himself. Until then, we should just freeze him out.
    Apparently that’s good enough for Putin, why should we treat him any better? When all it achieves is that he treats us worse.
    200% tax on American software, services, airplanes and entertainment.
    Then maybe Trump and USA will finally recognize that goods and military aren’t everything in what makes a relationship among nations mutually beneficial.

    I am sooo pissed our government hasn’t cancelled the purchasing of the remaining F35.
    But at least nothing new is supposed to be ordered.






  • We (Denmark) helped USA in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In Afghanistan we even had the highest rate of fatal casualties among allies, compared to the size of our population.
    Now we are not buying American made defense equipment anymore, apart from contracts already signed, and we are working to get rid of Microsoft in government organizations and public services.
    Many European countries are doing the same, no more helping the American military industrial complex, or the American government when they have an F35 program with budget overruns. Which we actually did when we signed our F35 contract with USA.






  • Too bad USA doesn’t help Ukraine instead. USA even promised they would, when Ukraine gave up their nuclear arsenal!
    Even under Biden the help was only halfhearted. The amount was significant, but the abilities of the equipment Ukraine was allowed to get was very restricted. Obama too wasn’t any help in 2014 either, and let Russia take Crimea without issue!
    It’s not just Trump and republicans who are guilty of making USA untrustworthy. Democrats are part of the problem too.
    We need to kick USA out of NATO, and invite other including non Atlantic democracies to join instead. USA has stated they are not sure they will honor article 5 (The musketeer article), and if they won’t, they cannot be part of NATO anymore. Because that’s the whole purpose of NATO.


  • Buildings with just one emergency exit stairway are capped at three stories in San Francisco. Anything taller requires two stairwells.

    That text makes little sense, because if there is only one stairway, that’s the friggin stairway, and not an “emergency” stairway.
    I know most American buildings have elevators even if they only have 2 floors, but it’s weird to call a stairway that is often faster to use, when it’s just a few floors, an “emergency” stairway, just because it’s the only option when the elevator doesn’t work.

    Especially if the elevator and stairway are in connected shafts, it’s quite obviously not enough to only have 1 stairway, there needs to be a 2nd stairway with it’s own separate shaft in case of fire, because you can’t jump out the windows at 4 stories height.
