Thank you for summarizing the mindset that is so wrong with the US. Seemingly there are no issues that can be discussed without falling into partisanship.
They protect their industries by keeping them in-country. This is done because all corporations have an advisory board made up of rank-and-file employees, who clearly have a vested interest in the company remaining and zero in it leaving. I wasn't trying to imply they had sanctions on China, sorry if it read that way.
Although I believe that works councils are a good idea your claim seem a bit generous as they are advisory boards only and not unique to Germany. Other countries have a legal right to union representation in the governing board, with the same rights as other board members (limited to a minority of the total board obviously). There are also European Works Councils for companies with employees in more than one EU country.
I absolutely loathe drumPft, everything about him, from his absurd "hairstyle" to his voice, diction, "policies", etc.
However, I favor sanctions. We should sanction smartly though to protect our high tech manufacturing industries. So we could be a powerhouse like Germany, which protects its industries. China protects its acquisition of technology, why shouldn't we also work to help our industries?
This "Tech Group" sounds like they favor inaction and ineffective whining because, apparently, they have more to gain by importing Chinese goods than by helping strengthen the American middle class. Damned blood-sucking corporatist vampires.
Please explain what you mean by this? Germany is a part of the EU so they have no sanctions against China.
We are getting it here in the west too. I live in Sweden and its getting increasingly difficult to communicate with government run services with out a "mobile ID" (which is made by a private firm and requires a newish smartphone BTW) even riding a bus requires a "smartphone" and you have to show a valid ID to ride a train.... Strangely you can still fly in Europe without showing an ID, its easier to get on a plane incognito than a local bus...
You can still communicate with every government run service by oldschool phone, and the kind of mail you put a stamp on. Bank ID isn't just for mobiles, but you'd need a windows computer. Tickets for public transportation can be bought with cash. Afaik every airline in Europe demand that you have a valid ID to show upon request.
Cash if FAR cheaper. Having to accept credit cards entails a hefty surcharge by the credit card company, as well as a delay in getting paid, and the additional risk of credit card fraud. While a debit card is faster and cheaper it still involves network fees and equipment rental and service.
AFAIK cash is now more expensive to handle. Surcharges have decreased, chips has driven fraud close to zero (in over the counter retail), interest rates are practically nothing and terminals and network are cheap even for very small businesses. The cost of handling/storing/transporting cash is way up due to decreased volumes and higher safety standards (it's no longer socially acceptable that someone gets robbed due to their proffession). That's why in places like Sweden cash is disappearing fast. If you don't want a cashless society you'll have to go the legislative way.
Systemd does not produce text logs, and that would be a wontfix as they seemingly consider it a feature. Rsyslog is not part of systemd, produces textlogs and is installed by default in every distribution that I know of.
What happens if someone with lawyers requests to remove or unlink his or her owned library of Steam-dependent games from the Steam service? Does Steam have the legal right to keep games you paid money to own locked into their DRM garden and DRM client? Or could someone successfully argue "I own these games. I should have the right to leave Steam and keep my games running!" in court? That argument could well be the "design flaw" in Steam's Death Star. One change in the applicable laws, and Steam might be FORCED to let you take your Steam games out of Steam's service and allow them to run like normal, independently executable Windows or MacOS apps again.
Afaik systemd only provides binary logs, but also afaik redhat, debian and derivatives also installs rsyslog in the default install providing text logs. Curious to know what distro you've come across that has binary logs only?
Since it's reported that the License is Apache 2.0, it can't be Linux, which is GPL. You *may* be able to put Apache 2.0 code under GPL, I'm not sure, but you can only put GPL software under Apache if you are the copyright holder.
Of course, they could be violating the license, I suppose.
Apache 2.0 is not compatible with GPL v2 (the linux kernel is version 2 only), but with GPL version 3 (it would be distributable as GPL).
The webOS sources includes a patched 2.6.35 linux kernel distributed under GPL version 2 only (https://github.com/webos-internals/webos-linux-kernel).
I have made myself rich (well, seven figures rich, so that's open for debate) on energy stocks and pretty much doing whatever anti-carbon folks say to NOT DOl I will happily continue because this is my retirement.
The S&P 500 has returned about +93% accumulated over the last 5 years. Investment in a broad energy sector ETF (VDE) would have made you a loss of about 8% it gets worse if you invested in coal (KOL) -20% or shale oil (FRAK) -41% oil and gas (XOP) -41% . You simply haven't made money in the energy sector for the last five years unless you've invested in solar (TAN) +43% or wind (FAN) +93% or nuclear (NLR) +31%.

If you believe the collusion conspiracy, those people are some of Putin's closest aides.
The Russians indicted by Mueller are allegedly the ones behind the fake social media posts, not anyone suspected of colluding with the Trump campaign. AFAIK no one believes Putin sent his "closest aides" to work with the Trump campaign but rather the opposite .
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cnn-washing-machine/ It's all just a game to them. They cherry pick which sites they choose to "investigate" and flag for spreading "fake news". They know it's satire, it's about getting sites deranked that aren't spreading the right message. Now they want their hands on the controls of who gets throttled on twitter.
I'm a bit puzzled as to what you're trying to say, you're not claiming that snopes and their cohort MIT scientist are trying to control twitter, or are you?
If satire is ranked highly as news, then there is something wrong with the ranking. If satire described as satire receives a lower ranking than satire described as something else, for example news then there is also something wrong with the ranking.
You'll want to do some fact checking yourself as the article does not support your position. What is true is that a wildlife resources agency officer was asked to leave an Outback Steakhouse because an individual customer at another table became panicked due to the presence of his gun. What is false is that he's a state trooper or local police officer AND that the Outback Steakhouse has a "gun free zone"-policy, they do not and they have apologized to the officer. You're perfectly justified in feeling that a wildlife resources agency officer is equivalent to a police officer and state trooper and that he was told that there was a "gun free zone"-policy is bad enough, regardless if there is such a policy or not. However as a matter of fact checking the two propositions are false. Thus as far as fact checking, the mixture rating.
In this particular case the methodology and sources are accounted for
Same has been said by multitudes of economists right before being proven not just wrong, but stunningly wrong countless times. On average economists have about the same accuracy as fortune tellers and share many of the same techniques, although admittedly on much different scales.
on the other hand we have your word (and to be honest, I don't think you're doing great).
I'm not claiming to be an 'economist' nor am I attempting to make economic predictions as I don't believe in fortune telling nor witch-doctoring, so naturally my predictive average accuracy in economics is non-existent.

Then there's the little fact that China routinely ignores anything the WTO says anyway...
That is simply not the case!
First you seem confused about how the WTO settles disputes: https://www.wto.org/english/th...
Second, here is a list with the details of every dispute China has been involved with in the WTO: https://www.wto.org/english/th...
The Chinese currency is bound to a basket of currencies, not the usd specifically.
As there are Chinese forex controls there is an artificial shortage so the renminbi is probably overvalued rather than undervalued.

AFAIK no one believes Putin sent his "closest aides" to work with the Trump campaign but rather the opposite .
Sure, because nobody could guess who the “Happy 55th Birthday Dear Boss” sign was directed at. Couldn't possibly be Putin's buddy Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Again, that is from the Mueller indictment concerning the fake social media accounts, not anyone suspected of colluding with the Trump campaign.

Replying to your parent post:

The more likely explanation is that people just don't have the disposable income they used to, in fact, it has been declining for years.
With the exception of Russia and Greece, the inverse of your claim seems to be what economists hold to be true.
https://data.oecd.org/hha/hous...
I'd appreciate if you could provide facts regarding pretty much anything at this point.
Are you of the opinion that claims don't need to be backed by facts because that bar is too high or am I missing something?
Broad statements without facts is not beneficial to the discussion. Try again.
