Victorian time traveller with huge but fragile ego seeks meek and submissive woman to be arm decoration.

Not long back from holiday in India to visit family. LOTs of Indian companies buying Chinese materials for solar and similar renewables. His s o make products for the domestic market. In just a couple of years the changes have been massive. They’ve gone from almost non existent to completely surpassing what we see here in the West. I’ve since had various companies to quote for my property. The prices are stupid and probably the reserve of the wealthier in society. Hopefully, Chinese products flood the market and bring prices down.

I cannot say that the UK is very much smarter, but 40% of the US is dumb as shit.

You can imagine the queues of smart people waiting in line to copy his homework when he was at school.

You believe that people disagreeing with you do so as a point of pride?

Sadly, a feature of pretty much every religion. Shitty people can skew anything with the same grift.

Yes yes and thrice, yes. 🙏

Hate in the name of the Lord is most righteous!

Policies based upon clicks rather than logical considerations. The move to the right will always accelerate this self destruction

The meme captures the absolute frustration in Europe and the rest of the world for our spiralling costs. Costs arising directly from the elected President illegally attacking Iran, without discussing with anyone but Israel.

We’re not arguing who has the greater car / truck dependency. But for those still wanting to pursue the point, don’t forget that Europeans pay considerably more taxes for our public services and so more tax now too.

A crass misunderstanding, but sure, if its what you think.

I’m minded to think of two lines from Alien.

In space, no one can hear you scream

Final report: The Nostromo, third officer Ellen Ripley, hypersleep…

Ah, yes. The “disrupter” business model led to new market entrants who once stablished, become the new enshittification / price scalping vampires.

I’m now humming to “Mama said know you out” with altered words!

Holy crap! Wow. And once again, wow.

Settle down. There’s nothing to see here. Move along quietly and please remain calm… /s
