The amount of civil unrest that’d cause would cause the situation to be far from fine. The US and EU like to pretend like there’s some magic money-fuelled forcefield that protects them, but millions of desperate people fighting for their lives can cause a lot of damage if pushed into a corner like that.
The EU and US regularly lose their minds over a few thousand refugees. What do you think will happen when millions of climate refugees start moving?
I smoked for pretty much my whole life. Quit with varying degrees of success many many times. I switched to nicotine pouches 2 months ago, and it’s been fairly great at reducing the damage of cigarettes while not dealing with the actual addiction.
Still need to watch out for gum recession, so it’s not exactly 100% healthy, but smoking causes gum recession anyway and I’m not destroying my lungs anymore, so pretty solid for harm reduction.
Wasn’t there supposed to be a big one yesterday across all US state capitals?
Game isn’t letting me. Apparently I need to expel diplomats and lower relations first.
Yup. Rare earth minerals are profitable, but ecologically apocalyptic. They don’t want their island to become an ecological disaster zone.
Actually, some are. Some of them are scared of pushing so much the pitchforks come out.
The thing is, they can’t. It’s a unified market. Any tarrif against Denmark is by definition a tarrif against the EU.
Non-German but I am in the EU. Didn’t find it odd at all. Just assumed it was “flow market” in German.
Maybe this’ll finally be the event that causes Canada to drop those ridiculous internal tarrifs and trade barriers.
What if they’ve been studying Bulgarian body language? Then the head shake will be interpreted as “Yes”.
The new Chinese LLM, DeepSeek, has caused a US AI stock market crash. The best analogy I read, elsewhere on Lemmy that icba to dig up right now, is that while Nvidia has been insistent that you need their Rolls Royce or you have to walk, a Chinese company has released an affordable family car.
There’s another factor that nobody mentioned: the sales tax in EU countries is different for different products. This allows countries to incentive or disincentivize different classes of products by ramping the sales tax up or down. Higher tax on junk food, cigarettes and/or alcohol, low or nonexistent sales tax for basic ingredients and medicine.
Interestingly, France and the Czech republic tax wine and beer respectively like basic food.
Isn’t this kinda already the case when you compare California to other states? In terms of subsidizing the rest of the country, not healthcare.
It might surprise you to learn where the word France comes from
EDIT: Also, interestingly, Paris is named after a Celtic tribe. Celtic isn’t Germanic, but normally gets lumped together. Celtic tribes actually predate Germanic ones in what’s now France.

Here. Take a backpack.
At least at the start, the instance was mostly networking and sysadmin nerds. During reddit’s APIocalypse, our admin started up the server and put up a detailed post about the hardware, infrastructure and benchmarking everything. Stuff like that is what drew me and many others to this instance.
