    The social media companies are activists, set up their own rules and follow the law of the countries they run in and here in Europe even more now the ruling part of EU with Juncker, Germany and France especially (our Swedish politicians are also extreme but fewer mandates) want to enforce their values upon what's said on social media. You can't take what's shown on social media as it being the idea of the majority because it's basically run by the left and any right wing posting is more short lived, less spread and private.

    I doubt most Europeans want to lose their people's countries, culture and provide for those who move in yet that's what the ruling class want to enforce. Also the left is always dishonest and uninterested in actually having a discussion. For instance if someone would bring up the Kalergi plan then whatever the ideas for what is happening now is old and has been around for a long time and are happening now isn't supposed to be relevant but rather you mentioning that by itself should discredit you because anyone bring that up or linking "racist" data or whatever is wrong for having the wrong values not for actually being wrong.

    It would be hard to know whom do what, plus it's a retarded argument anyway because changing how you do things is also an option. Also I've never owned a car.

    We don't need the oil for energy, possibly not for anything but I assume the other use cases are very limited in volume relative the energy part, and it's ass-hole behavior far beyond acceptable and are still being done because it's less noticeable since we don't live there.

    Reasoning like if you ever go for a walk and end up killing an ant you may just as well kill everything you see or else you're a hypocrite.

    Yeah my American hero.

    It is quite self descriptive to see what "free market" has done with the Fiber and internet providers in the US indeed. Bad services, over expensive and private monopolies everywhere, really enjoyable.

    I'm Swedish.

    I wish our government built fiber networks 15 years ago and then let others provide the service. With the direction Sweden is going I assume those in charge also wish they had done it all but then also run and surveil it all too..

    Anyway I've got four ways I can hook up my apartment physically:
    * Cable (private owned.)
    * Telephony (one national network many service providers.)
    * Ethernet both directly by Bredbandsbolaget but also through the municipal network with 19 Internet service providers
    And then there's wireless. I don't know how many companies we've got who actually run the networks but more than three and then there's various brands selling on those networks too.

    So I guess I can be hooked up to closer to 10 different networks and upwards to 40 service providers or such.

    My understanding of the "problem" in the US is that many solutions end up being monopoly solutions. Then again from Sweden being number 1 or just above on the topic and the USA being far behind it's also my understanding USA has been catching up pretty well so by now it may not be all that terrible in general at-least as far as cost goes though I'm sure there's places in the USA where the number of choices are very limited.

    One see those posters now and then about what the EU has done but it's usually just about stupid stuff / spending money into some idiotic project.

    I saw it recently for some club/"work" project and I've seen it for fiber in a rural area and for like orange juice or something in an ad.

    The free market could had chosen to do all that or not depending on what made the most sense.

    If I understood it correctly 23andme likened the whole genome as a pair of 110 folders with 5000 pages of double sided printed text of data whereas the stuff the anchestery part used was 90 pages in all or as I think they put it 0.02%. Then again lots of data are likely the same. Then again I don't know how much is the same for all rather than within variations for humans. The people who claim there are no scientific human races seem to claim that's the case because the variations between people of the same "race" are almost as large as between them / larger difference between people than between races.

    Yeah artificial sweeteners are the problem ... As if. Except the obvious in that you get used to a more sweet taste and it doesn't feed you so you still want food and maybe prefer a sweeter one.

    On a shorter time scale HDD prising is a disappointment. Number of cores was another one. And the low resolution and picture quality of early TFT monitors yet another one.

    Isn't the payment by tariffs and hence kinda unfair competition increasing production and profits in US a bit and taxing those or so. Though of course higher prices also remove money from spending upon other things. But yeah. Moving economy worth 5 billion so to say.
