  • Normal dish washing soap is a very generic product. So I just buy the store brands. Here they are all near identical, and all are made in EU.
    Just remember to always buy the concentrated ones.
    Expensive brands are not better, and they most likely aren’t significantly more environmentally friendly either, even if they claim to be.

    If it’s for machines, it’s a bit more complicated.


  • Trump claims 39% tariffs in EU of US goods. This is absolutely insane.
    IDK what the current tariffs were before increases today. But I was in the import business in the 90’s of computer equipment, and it was typically around 4% back then from USA.

    I’ve been trying to figure out the general level of tariffs in EU, but I simply can’t.
    The official Danish site requires all sorts of obscure data before I can look it up. 🤨

    Anyone in the know about this, could you give us a hint about where about it was before this shit show?

    Good examples IMO would be: Computers, Cars, Shoes, Clothing, Wine, Soy beans.


  • “our country has been looted, pillaged, raped, plundered”

    by other nations selling their goods to us cheaply, and by them accepting our Dollars that cost us nothing to make for it!!

    I don’t think Trump understands the benefits and privileges for USA of having the top international reserve currency.
    But maybe if he ruins it quick enough, he may find out?

    Play stupid games and win stupid prices.




  • such a decision should only be made by the people

    This is completely wrong, the courts are one of the pillars of democracy, and their job is to interpret the law, including laws that are supposed to protect democracy.
    It is exactly the failure of doing that, that allowed Trump to become president, even after he tried to take power forcefully, and is now threatening democracy in USA.

    What the courts did in Romania and in France is the right thing to do, when fundamental rules of democracy are broken.

    She is banned for 5 years, so she will still have a chance, and of course her party still has a chance. It’s simply wrong to claim that her breaking the rules of democracy personally, should not have consequences for her eligibility.
