I would say the US is the one with the most restrictive residential zoning.

Maybe multiplying each driven distance by the number of owners? I wouldn't put it beyond them if they code that crap with AI.

On the contrary, Merz saw what happened in the US and he said "I want that too" because much like Musk and Trump and Farage and others of that type he is a pathetic incompetent right-winger with a huge ego.

And by "left leaning" you mean "slightly extreme right than the other ones".

The worst bit is that that would be true at those tariff rates even if the supplier paid for it. it would just be priced in. In the end it is always the buyer who pays for additional costs of that magnitude. Virtually nobody has profit margins to just absorb that and those who do are selling luxury products and won't reduce their profit margins either.

Not to mention that building factories in the US will be quite expensive since a lot of those require machinery, building materials,... that also have to be imported. Even if you wanted to set up a whole domestic supply chain for those too you would need machines (and expertise) to make the first machines. Not to mention that it would take decades to setup all of that completely from scratch in the US and you would likely still have to import at least some raw resources.

Usually the goal when funding stuff like this is to buy some influence to control major decisions. I wouldn't put it beyond an independent foundation, to take just one example, to drastically reduce the deadlines between confidential disclosure and public release where some government or corporate controlled organization might set some that are more made for the slow speed of large org bureaucracy.

It has been a lot longer since journalistic standards started their decline.

The entire infrastructure was changed towards cars within living memory. What makes you think the reverse isn't possible or even likely in the next hundred years?

Why would they? If the US keeps sabotaging its influence and economy they just have to wait for a bit for the protection of Taiwan to collapse completely.

But CVE hurts Trump's people, the scam artists and spammers and of course his buddies in Russia.

Is it possible to do in the US where most of the qualified people already do other jobs and a lot of the rest had the reading comprehension of a 6th grader before they had the brillant idea to abolish the department of education and remove funding from universities in other ways though?

It is not so much that China is the better world dominator, it is more that the US is already dominating more than any one nation should and it is a good thing if politicians keep dependencies on nations like that in their minds as a concern.

The relevant question here is if you are in Turkey because if you aren't this is a much bigger deal than if you are.

Also, does "restricted access to your account for users" mean for all users or just for those in Turkey?

The reason why I was thinking it would utilities is that the big name brand social media stuff often pays to come pre-installed.

My guess would be that none of the big, well known brands are in the top ten and that those are instead useful utilities that almost everybody uses but rarely talks about.

As a German, i.e. someone from a country which was forced to have a good long look at its past and reject it within living memory, the way the UK reveres its own Empire past is downright bizarre. It can only be compared to things like the quasi-religious view the US have about their founding fathers or the way Russia thinks it has a natural right to rule countries around it.

I guess it is useful for the US' love for avoiding the units everyone lese is using that they have a unit that represents a lifetime worth of flops, the Trump?

Isn’t the idea that if you advertise you will get more people looking at/downloading your app and therefore rank higher?

That is what advertising companies would like you to believe but the effect is nowhere near this drastic, otherwise they would be showing double-blind studies about the effectiveness of advertising to all their customers all the time.

Actually I would really like to know what the color orange and literal piles of shit ever did to that person that they insult them by associating them with Trump.
