She did give away a lot of money to charity. About 16% of her wealth when she became a billionaire iirc. Gave to help children in poverty and to fight the disease MS.

I don't know much about her stance on trans people other than she seems to believe that there is a difference between trans and biological women. Feel free to drop a good link where I can educate myself.

Anyway, reading comments here make it sound like she's a modern day Hitler that's never done anything good in her life, and that sounds both unfair and untrue.

Do they want more migration? Because this is how you get more migration.

As much as I hate those silly headlines I don't change them. The editor will have to live with the shame.

So that's reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon and incompetence instead.

The shooter should still be prosecuted.

 

Emmanuel Macron criticised the US for withdrawing climate funding and urged nations to agree on protecting the planet at the UN Ocean Conference in Nice.

 

OSLO, June 6 (Reuters) - Norway strengthened its rape laws on Friday by criminalising sex without explicit consent, joining a growing list of countries to widen the definition of sexual attacks. Up to now, prosecutors have had to show that an attacker used violence or threatening behaviour, or had sexual intercourse with someone who was unable to resist, to secure a conviction for rape.

Under the new law passed by parliament, anyone who has sex with someone who has not consented to it by word or deed could be convicted of rape, even without violence. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland have all introduced consent-based rape laws in recent years. Sweden changed the legal definition of rape in 2018 to sex without consent - a change that officials said resulted in a 75% rise in rape convictions. Denmark followed in 2020 by passing a law that widened the circumstances that could constitute rape.

How is this not assault with a deadly weapon? She's there working, clearly not a threat.

That cop should be prosecuted.

I'd say yes and no. The strain on the planet would lessen for sure. But then we have the dependency ratio, meaning the amount of people in work related to those out of work, like children, the elderly, disabled etc.

This are getting worse in every European country. More babies won't fix it, at least not in the short term but it'll lessen the impact in about 20 years.

To fix the dependency ratio you either drasticly reduce the welfare state, increase the retirement age, raise taxes, or accept a lot of immigrants. Any of those options appealing to the general public you think?

Which is why there's an archive link as well.

Agreed, just because the US has gone dumb, doesn't make China a good guy.
