It’s because France wants a carrier plane and Germany have no use for it. If UK (carrier) Italy (small carrier) Japan (small carrier) join, the extra money for development could allow for 2-3 variants like the f-35, that would make everyone happy

I love how much people here loves to shit on reddit, and then the userbase is 10 times worse (especially in reading comprehension, hive mind and irony)

It was the start, because even if Emperor’s went back, installed by foreign powers, they were heavily checked by other institutions, and removed again and again by the citizens of france. It ended effectively the age of absolutism and started democratic movements.

So yes, it was definitely important for democracies in Europe, a land entranced in absolutists kingdoms

Considering most monarchies are no more in Europe, it didn’t really fail miserably

Worth noting that most of the time oil (newly discovered natural resources really)makes a country poorer than richer. See Venezuela and such.

So good on Norway to not give in to unbridled corruption and out that money on a public fund to make its own citizen wealthy

If this was some one off case yes, I would agree with you. But since the sample is big enough that it affects statistical data for a very broad segment of the population, I think he might have a point. Or let’s keep the head in the sand, and then cry about why Trump is going to win every next election.

You also provided only empirical evidence (mine are fine therefore it’s everyone else fault). Not the best kind of proof.

Here is a video that highlights some of the problems. It’s two years old and still relevant: https://youtu.be/rQv8VuLpKN4

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but it’s a one way ticket?

Thank you for proving his point

Not only that. The housing is then maintained by taxpayers, who are not the rich strata. So it’s another way to funnel money from the poor/middle class to the corporation owned by the rich.

Italy got invaded by so many people it absorbed a lot of from Germanic tribes.

I would assume Spanish would have taken a lot from Arab, but somehow that doesn’t seems the case?

While it’s just a major, it’s not “just” a mayor. It’s the major of one of the most important city in the US.

And this is why I’ll never get the islamophobes. The fight should be against extremist religious views, be it Christian, Muslim Hindu or whatever. And argument can be made than nowadays the majority or extremist views and sect are Muslim, but this that religion in itself is not a problem more than other and it’s not set in stone

And a clock, and a weather forecast, and a picture frame…

A screen has a lot of potential. But not if it works against your interests

He also served in the British army as an officer. The same one that tried to destroy the US in his lifetime. Think of that too

They probably asked AI for a thumbnail, and since there was the word sodium, they decided to use the kitchen as a background.

AI amazing as always

The ones this people buy: https://share.google/PWnmursuqNxjrfSSl

If they are not buying some sodium battery producers, you can bet that somehow those batteries will not be “ready for the market” yet

Or maybe ziptie her and her parents quite loosely so at the first chance they can run away

For me, at least in Italy, I think it was the third or fourth? But once we learned, we never had to sing it again. My kids in the US high school are still saying the pledge of allegiance to this day

Done daily, done to children, part of the education framework, for a lot of teachers is not optional… This just on the top of my head

If trump would give a shit, which he doesnt
