Laws perhaps not, but lobbying (which is the action by which corporate interests exert control) in the EU is still a problem - https://esthinktank.com/2023/05/29/corporate-lobbying-in-the-european-union/

The fault here is not necessarily Musk. He asked these Politicians (and others like them) to reduce the barriers to putting money into Politics. These politicians agreed.

Remember this.

You didn’t enable him by voting for this. These alarmed politicians changed the laws to permit it. We need to be asking our politicians to get rid of these laws, and then tax billionaires out of existence.

A true great of the sandwich world. Just make sure you sit down to eat it.

Agreed. Deep Dish Pizza is an affront to the laws of God and Man. It may only be about 8” across, but it weighs about 10lbs

So, you say they’re doing it again…?

Why not both?

I believe the last time these people encountered such religious intolerance, they left Europe for the new world. Time for them to seek another new world…

Stocky is what I’d use

True, but the RnD ain’t cheap. And, if everyone else starts charging (as I am sure they eventually will), Apple will follow.

Genmoji is a waste of space. The image generation is really bad (but then again, most of these platforms are). The writing tools are mediocre. About all that is moderately useful is that Siri seems a little better and processing commands.

If they want to start charging for this, I’m out.

The goal of this is to try and persuade the majority of people that he was reasonable. Right now, they’re scared as there are a lot of people talking about serious change. Social change.

Little, however, will come of it unless it coalesces and drags along the majority into opting out of the system.

Until he was arrested, Mangione was Neo in the Matrix. Now he’s be captured, the Agent Smiths of this world are cleaning up

Came here to say the same. I am 99% sure it’s Viz

The Idiots are winning

I suspect about 40% of the population would approve. Our rural population is very similarly aligned with rural Americans, which is why they’re all rooting that that vapid, low impact Trump-alike Polievre who is running essentially unopposed right now. I can see him rolling over if Trump and his good squad came a-knocking.

It’s also possible that Trump watched the first twenty minutes of the movie Canadian Bacon and thought it was his daily brief.

Canada really hasn’t. For some reason, people think the world listens to Canadian opinions. They don’t, but it’s helpful when they parrot the COP party lines. Helps spread the blame if everyone agrees.

The problem is more to do with the politicians willingness to ignore the electorate and instead take corporate money. It’s the same pretty much everywhere.

Until that changes, nothing improves.

I’m sure my Canadian Government will follow this up with a strongly worded letter to the Americans asking if it’s OK if they impose tariffs, too.

This sucks.

However, I am struggling with the fact this doctor looks like the love child of Noam Chomsky and Henry Winkler

this, for multiple reasons

For the love of all that is holy, someone put her on a rocket so she can see for herself.

And then forget how to land the fucking thing.

Who doesn’t love a Dirtyburger?
