A weird amount of people were triggered by you asking for evidence. A reflection on our times.

I was replying to the other guy, and agreeing with you :)

Isn't it literally the one who dictates? (Maybe you were skipping that step)

What's your solution then? It's a fair enough concern that Putin backed in to a corner is going to become even more unhinged and throw some nukes around, no?

It seems the only option down that path is to accept that the endgame here is having all of Russia, and at least one other country, nuked.

TIL that India cut the Pythagorean theorem—Edit: its similarity proof—, periodic table, and evolution from mandatory education in June 2023 Edit: before adding it back a week later in c/[email protected]

It says in the post that 10th grade is the last mandatory grade, so this means many students will miss out on learning about evolution, no?

I'm not sure you understood. The fire is all of the other nonsense policies that trump comes up with, and that his party is likely to impose.

Is trump going to do anything different though?

Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must “finish the problem” in its war against Hamas

If the above is true, I don't know why anyone would bring his up. It's like choosing between two seats on a bus. One has broken glass on it, the other has broken glass and is on fire.

European Union imposes tariffs on Chinese EVs in c/[email protected]

That's option 2 or 3, right?

European Union imposes tariffs on Chinese EVs in c/[email protected]

[–] thetreesaysbark 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

It's an interesting problem.

Does the EU let Chinese vehicles in, allow the reduction of EU manufacturing, reducing jobs available, possibly imposing further poverty on the poor, and possibly to the point where they can't afford the Chinese vehicles anyway?

Does the EU add taxes to Chinese vehicles, making them less available to the poor, but possibly protecting jobs within the EU? Perhaps whilst trying to engage EU automakers to make more EVs?
