  • It just Shows that Trump does Not understand how democracies work at all. Decisions are not made by a Government and laws are not enacted by a “strong” Leader, but by representatives in a sitting parliament. what he wants is for the Western world to act more Like him, in the way of dictatorships. Because those he can rule with Power alone, be it economical or militaristic.

    and with our Double democracy (one at national, the 2nd at european Level) he cant do that easily, because at the european Level we Pack a Punch of soft Power on the international Stage. which makes it harder for him to devide us and influence our actions. Any smaller, less powerful Nation otherwise would be a direct target of US Influence, See Venezuela or in the History all the us-powered coup’de’etat in south america






  • how much would that cost then? Since countriea have different costs of living and use the money to maintain the roads (with personell) it would have to be paid by the countries standards. if you try tonunify that, and charge i.e. the price of austrian vignete, then other, poorer countries people could not use the roads in their country anymore. Except you exclude them from paying it, but that is against the european law (germany tried that and failed). If you make it the price of a country like croatia, then roads in austria could not be maintained as the personal (that needs to be paid) could not live from that.

    the only possible solution would be something like the Eurail pass fr r trains, where you pay a flat amount for a sepecific set of countries.





  • That is part of the reason why i have never purchased it. Financially, selling Gamepass does not make sense, as the prices does not justify the buy-in to get a substantial amount of Games onto it, making it worthwhile. For Microsoft it only makes Sense, when they see additional Profitpoints Like the closed Market on it and Killing competition. Once that is done, the quality and amount of Games going to Gamepass will certainly worsen.

    And we do Not need to forget that Microsoft is a Data Company. So by requiring the Gamepass service be installed onto your machine, they certainly get a load of Data about you from it. Which neither benefits the Game developers nor the consumers.

    As for the Points of “Low barrier to entry, Games trying Out Games” - duh, thats what Demos are for









  • Except its not abt white people only, because any other foreign Student ist going to avoid American Universities now. So, it will be for the American, whites only students, restricting international Exchange of ideas and understanding. Not too Long until they are going to target the education to cater to this exclusive group, removing all diverse topics and critical Thinking teaching subjects. Because a populace brought Into their political Line zu s easier to manage and keep under Control.
