This is a terrible article. To understand why, I refer everyone to the amazing Youtube channel of Isaac Moreno Gallo. https://www.youtube.com/@IsaacMorenoGallo There are several videos with English audio if you do not under

I'd say the author is referring to Germany, regarding renewables. The connection being that CH imports electricity from Germany.

The controversy is not insider trading. It is executives exercising their share options during buybacks the price of which they themselves decide. They decide when to buyback and choose to do it at market highs. This is not sound management

Because to earn dividends you must be a owner i.e. actually hold company stock. To profit from buybacks you only need the option of buying the stock at a lower price than the buyback price. The CEOs and other CXXs of these firms often hav

What people forget is that even if Americans may be divided, they're not sacrificing any of their territorial sovereignty to other countries. Anyone seriously suggesting anything like this be done to America would be met with total ann

Also, bear in mind the Brazilian Amazon territory borders British, French and Dutch interests in Guyana, French Guyana and Suriname respectively.

I count the parent, and a couple more replying with something-must-be-done answers at the suggestion that the territory be forcefully or otherwise removed from Brazilian sovereignty. There are other comments in other sub-threads. Also, this

If environmental disasters are enough pretext for questioning sovereignty, shall we compile a list, together with the territory to be subtracted? I suggest with start with North America. I'll go first: - Deepwater Horizon platform; Gul

Funny how no one proposed to remove California from US sovereignty when the fires were raging awhile back. Or the Gulf of Mexico coast with the Deep Horizon incident. --- Não vai encontrar razoabilidade aqui, amigo. Esta gente julga que man

English is atypical in its irregular pronunciation rules IMO. At least compared to Latin languages. And it doesn't have accents that change the pronunciation in otherwise similar words. As such, people are aware that you just have to k

There is a trend that confuses this (apparent) simplification trend with "evolution" or "progress". Don't fool yourself, though. Accents are there for a reason. Orthography influences pronunciation. In time people w

Yes. I don't know their motivation the same way a man is presumed innocent in a court. But people are not courts. So I do not need, not is it practical, to act like one. However, I do know the justifications their proponents present fo

Not really. It's not the particular choice of words that bothers people. It's the fact that they either have to submit to the frivolous power-trippers or die on a hill they don't particularly want to, in this case defending t

Also, there is something else. Due to Taleb's principle of the intolerant minority[1], people that feel this is frivolous are faced with a choice: either submit to the frivolous intolerant zealots or die on a hill which no one really w

I think the underlying issue is not "that it goes too far". I don't believe anyone would oppose "going this far" in terms of reducing or abolishing actual slavery. I think what pisses people off is the utter frivo

There is no controversy whatsoever. Essentially, you're implying the French are chauvinists that don't care about "non-frenchmen", because they write in French. You are also implicitly accusing these specific French peop

Because they didn't translate their jobs section yet , that makes you think you wouldn't be welcome? I certainly wouldn't hire you, after reading that. Looks like you're insecure and looking to be offended.

They contend the interceptor missiles can be quickly re-purposed to deliver nuclear warheads. EDIT: or the missile installations, I don't remember exactly. I don't have a link for you, but I remember Putin saying this in the Stone

The zionist bit I don't quite follow either. But it seems clear that modern art has turned into a speculative multi-million dollar business, so "Rothschild" doesn't seem out of place, with them being the most know financ

Well, I had to search for the actual terms, because I didn't find them in the post. They're in a comment to the post. So the actual post isn't even using "euphemisms". In any case, my point is that "zionist&quo

The reason banknotes are worth anything is because you need them to pay taxes and fees to your/a sovereign. They literally entitle you to pay the corresponding amount of taxes and/or fees (e.g. for market transactions) to the sove

People here seem to fundamentally misunderstand authority. They seem to think it is something that you "use", rather than something that you have - specifically, the property of morally obligating someone to do something. Hence

That is ridiculous. There was a court order to stop that action. What sort of democracy is it when you can just ignore court orders? If they wanted to protest then they should've organised protests and demonstrations. If they really wa
