Good thing you will never have to worry about that!

A. Another comment (and my own observations - not even in the US, so no idiocracy factor either) prove otherwise. They claim it’s to deal with bodily fluids (I guess sweat doesn’t count for them). B. Not a shared reality. Your market, your choices I guess, but even amazon.com (US market) disagrees on the prices you are claiming.

The only draft I would accept is a police instead of a military one. Force some civilian eyes on how cops handle themselves, wash the profession enough so that it has to survive public scrutiny or otherwise get eventually called out on it.

They did the bare minimum of just eliminating or replacing those in charge of enforcing it, because they lack so much basic decency they don’t even feel the need to feign.

Most obvious deployment ever.

Funny how you end that last comment, given what it is … And funny how parting from such a class based obsession, you twist the argument back to the default that’s served to get us to ignore reality. Your argument isn’t anything new, it is what we are fed up with.

The first affected by this are the people who don’t have job mobility or wealth. Those are farms, and by “family farms” I I assume you mean the big corporate land owners who end up buying them. These are migrant workers. Their conditions also go to the bottom - they have more ready access to social services but their wealth and acquisition power is the first to be affected.

They are the ones who are already at the bottom, and are seeing their quality of life tank first. Housing, the economy, they are the first to have to adapt their standards to those of the migrants coming in to perform those jobs. They have to say goodbye to things like the family “farm” and homes you so romanticize and their best hope is to at least be able to use the advantage to move into urban jobs, not because they are more educated but because they pay better. They are the first stuck with “owning nothing” and coming to terms with it.

Same story for the large meat processing companies in Germany who need more butchers and the jobs they displace, except that now it makes it harder for those at the bottom to move into jobs like them. Was it something you were considering because as a migrant farmer your life was going to shit with the increasing cost of living? Not a choice anymore. I laugh at the notion that anyone could consider these “middle class”, but then again you just regurgitate the same old. It doesn’t have to be with the lowest paid jobs, either, this has been going on with the tech industry to great effect for years. This has resulted in countries that really don’t have any control of where their own technology sector is heading off to but rather one that belongs to one of a few international corporations keeping the cycle going.

Migrant farmers and workers have it worse than ever, unless they are coming from far worse economies, I find your argument laughable at best. Maybe the reason you are so blind is because you’ve already accepted working at age 5 and shit standards as a norm. Meanwhile, governments become increasingly corrupt and the increasing wealth gap between the leaders and the lowest rung of society is only praised by comments like yours.

I don’t know if you have another definition of cheap, or just live in a different worse off market.

There’s basically two sorts of people: the one’s willing to overlook the aesthetics and the one’s who aren’t. There’s a reason hospital staff wear them. They are not designed to look good, they are designed to let the humidity from your sweat evaporate instead of letting it accumulate into a damp breeding ground ripe for a host of foot conditions. For some people it will matter more than others.

There’s plenty of Crocs designs that don’t look ugly, but I hope they continue to be unpopular as that keeps them cheap. It’s risky to switch to other brands with this sort of design, Crocs got it right.

The reason people are also having less children is precisely because of the way quality of life is tanking.People aren’t suddenly less able to reproduce, they just don’t want to go race to the bottom to have children. Rather than allowing societies time to adjust and compensate for these changes, people in their governments are forcing the race to the bottom.

The immigrants coming for these jobs are willing to drop their quality of life and make sacrifices like renting shared living spaces and having to work under worse conditions. Once we are at the bottom, the same problem will happen, just with lowered standards. This ends up making the “developing” countries balance out with the “developed” ones, which wouldn’t be so bad if the politics didn’t tank as a net loss. It’s always requires more effort to to build up a healthy political environment than to take it down.

The “crisis”, is that they all want cheaper workers, not that their particular workers aren’t cheaper than their neighbors. It’s a race to the bottom. If there’s a shortage of workers, their wages rise, and people are interested in their jobs but then they would have to cut the profits.

Germany can and has attracted other EU citizens. They want cheaper. Butchers’ shop and “critical skilled” are oxymorons. The Indians coming into Germany are working for the big shops and factories, not opening their own. It is a shift towards a migrant laborer based economies while those that own the actual assets get rich for relatively little effort, like with housing and the shift from owning to renting. The gap just keeps getting bigger.

In August 2025, Nicolas Guillou, a French judge at the International Criminal Court, found himself locked out of the financial system and most online services. Why? Because the United States had placed him on a sanctions list that also includes al-Qaeda members, drug smugglers, and Vladimir Putin, simply because the court issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Five other ICC judges and three prosecutors have also ended up on the sanctions list.

So … the opposite of the title? Europe placed an arrest warrant against Netanyahu and it was the US who placed these sanctions …

Jacques Baud, a former employee of the Swiss intelligence service, military analyst, and regular commentator on the international Russian news channel RT, ended up on a sanctions list due to alleged support for Putin, by which EU authorities mean his pro-Russian analyses of Western policy in the run-up to the war in Ukraine.

Ah, there it is.

Gonna have to take the objectivity of the article into question, although it does employ a lot of truths to try to reach the conclusion it wants to reach.

One remorseful witness – a former soldier who once sensationally claimed troops had captured an alien in Varginha – admits having spread fake news after being offered a bribe worth thousands of dollars. “There’s no such thing as the ET of Varginha,” he says, calling claims of a military cover-up “one of the biggest farces ever”.

An army investigation – published in full to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the sightings and rebuff allegations of a conspiracy – also concluded the story was a sham

The saga has been good business for Varginha.

As he sat in the shade of a spaceship-shaped bus stop, not far from Varginha’s rocket-shaped city hall,

This is not news. At best, this is a documentary if the people involved had access to some of the best and most modern videotaping equipment and yet couldn’t get any clear high definition pictures to include anything about the thing they were reporting. If there were aliens, they would be laughing at how our species assumes they would be so alike to them morphologically and that for some reason they crossed a galaxy just to ape out on a planet.

It could also turn to other places in Europe for them. But that’s the thing, isn’t it, this isn’t really about a shortage of workers, it’s about not wanting to pay them more.

We were badly addressing it until today’s world leaders decided to do a 180 and accelerate towards it. The good thing is that the efforts to prolong just themselves will also help them suffer the more for it.

In today’s world, her social account would have been deleted and her posts doomed to oblivion.

AI is ignoring so many IP laws while the US government continues to push and collude with its cartels, all the while making sure the technology bubble is all AI and is all US centered. The EU certainly needs to do something, but I imagine many in the EU don’t want to put their own IP at risk.

All devs should be doing something like this. From what you are describing, you are basically dealing with cylon accounts waiting to get activated.

This is the most obvious invasion since iced tea.

Putin tool applauds common Putin tactic of enshittifying your enemies instead of just being better than them. Enemies, because neoconfederates aren’t really able to have allies, just subjects.

You just proved you haven’t, but you are going to stick to your stereotypes regardless of what I tell you. You are going to reply to this comment, but don’t expect a reply back.
