I think he is right to worry about defending the status quo in this moment. Trump returned to power in a large part because he offered an alternative and Kamala painted herself as a defender of the status quo. Now I don’t think as many people in Europe are chomping at the bit for change as they were in November in the USA - but I also don’t think people are exactly pleased either.

There are real concerning global changes occuring at a greater and greater pace and people want to hear that leadership is willing to act on it, and sometimes that means talking with passion and offering real change instead of just a limp-wristed defense of what we already have.

Seriously it’s the perfect time for the EU to invest in FOSS

Hoefully Europe realizes its important place as a cultural and economic counterpoint to US and China. There has never been a better time to invest heavily in the continent so they can seriously compete in the world.

Pure idiotic fuckery is what’s going on and the idea of a market rebound is hilarious to me because even without global tariffs there are plenty of other things he can do and IS doing to create instability in the USA. He’s gotta go, the sooner the better.

It’s sort of a crazy strategy in Blackjack too. Lose 7-8 times in a row and you’re already betting 100x your starting bet.

How do they get off being the ‘Flagship’ instance then? Should that concern us or is it meh?
