We have to take the thread seriously and accept our adversary as what he is. That doesn't mean copying his despicable methods. Our most effective defense is defending Ukraine.

It's almost as if Putin's regime was a hyper violent group of thugs, bent on threatening and killing everyone standing in their way of dominance.

Ah, sorry. I read your comment backwards.

Of course confiscating UAE assets would be a gigantic escalation and will never happen. 😔

Do they have anything other than oil?

Da wäre ich mir nicht so sicher. Bei Neueinstellungen sind Unternehmen viel eher bereit mehr zu zahlen. Deswegen würde ich Jobwechsel auch nicht als Sondereffekt bezeichnen. Das ist in gewisser Weise Teil der Gehaltsverhandlungen.

Job wechseln ist die größte Macht, die du als Arbeitnehmer hast. Wenn du die nicht aus spielst, kriegst du keine entsprechende Gehaltserhöhung. Mein alter Arbeitgeber hat von sich aus das Gehalt um 5% erhöht.

Ja, weil ich den Job gewechselt habe. +21%

It's called inflation.

Please read the article, it's not that long.

Yeah, the main issue is migration (here in Germany). And I believe propaganda is also a factor. People are bombarded with bad stories about migrants, but also about the government. This includes tabloids and social media of course. But also the conservative opposition. They are always talking about the government as if it was the worst in German history, when in reality it is not so different from their previous one.

Btw. the reasons why people vote for extremists are not smart. They are emotional. AfD voters tend to be less educated and porer.

I think Anders' analysis is correct (as usual). The sad thing is, that I believe not only the US is making this mistake, but also some European leaders. They should really know better and we will have to pay the price for it.

Also right (and left) wing populists are on the rise. And they openly support Russia. We are all fucked.

He is using Tesla as a piggy bank. Grifting money, employees and graphics cards.
