Zelensky For President!
Trump is a Russian agent.
It is surprising how weak Russia actually is. At this point just about any other nation could come in and wipe out the Russian government.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine was a last ditch effort to recapture former Soviet territory before its oil and gas resources lose economic value.
We are entering a major transition period, with many technological changes happening to disrupt the existing economy. One of the most important is the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
For hundreds of years, the energy economy has been a system where certain countries and companies controlled the locations on earth where fossil fuels are located, and had the technology to process the fuels. Fossil fuels by their nature require the user to buy "feedstock" as they go. The countries and companies that control fossil fuel production profit from this system and are some of the wealthiest groups in the world.
Renewable energy systems, such as solar, wind and batteries, require an upfront payment for the equipment. The cost of equipment for renewable energy is dropping every year. They can be located almost everywhere. There is no ongoing feedstock payment. Renewables break the fossil fuel industry model, and some of the wealthiest people in the world are scrambling to control governments to somehow retain their income flow. Currently their strategy is to delay implementation of renewables, but eventually they will try to create monopolies where they control the source of power and charge the customer about the same as they are paying now, with the utilities benefitting from the low cost of renewable power.
This is only one of the transitions happening at this time. There are many major disruptions coming from implementing AI in the economy, from electric vehicles and self-driving vehicles. There are probably many more transitions that no one is predicting or even imagining at this time. You can expect things to be crazy for a decade or more as these technologies change the way our economy, infrastructure and society is shaped.
Explore the inevitable rise of AI and robots, their impact on human labor, and how we can prepare for a future of superabundance and technological disruption.
The painful truth is that AI and robots will take our jobs. At the same time, the rise of AI and robots itself will create new jobs. But AI and robots will take those jobs too.
By 2045, there will be virtually nothing a human can do that a machine cannot do better for a tiny fraction of the cost. And this will still prove true (thank goodness) even if individual machines such as humanoid robots aren’t each empowered with fully sapient artificial general intelligence.
The best response to US tariffs is to make free trade deals with UK, EU and others. Free trade will win over protectionism. Protectionism is just dumb and counterproductive.
It is a shame that SPD and Union did not work together in the last government to try to resolve some of the problems that cause the voters to move to the right.
Another analog is that eastern Germany voted very differently than western and southern Germany.
One major difference, in 1930 the far right was anti-Russia, and today they are pro-Russia.
Does history repeat itself?

My theory is that we are experiencing a worldwide socio-psychological disorder that is a communicable disease, which was spread through information exchange on the internet.
Socio-psychological disorder is a sort of mass hysteria, evident in witch hunts, demon possession, persecution of various groups of people.

I bought a domain name and got a web host. I set the index page to be blank and only use the web host for email. It works well. I still have gmail but try to move everything to my own domain email.

Anyone know if it is possible to browse Facebook Marketplace without a login account to Facebook? Are there sites that mirror Marketplace? I don't need to buy or sell, just want to browse what is out there.
Russia Loving Republicans. Trump is a Russian asset. Treat the US government like an enemy.
Only buy solar if it is cheaper or cleaner than what you have now.
Another suggestion that I forgot to add:
- Start negotiations to join the European Union. Whether it actually happens or not, just announce that you are starting negotiations.
Suggestion from across the river.
Suggestion from across the river. The Detroit River.
- Canada should import goods from China without limits or taxes. Canada's cost of living will go down as the Americans learn how stupid tariffs are.
- If solar electric power is cheaper than other sources, buy as much cheap solar as the Chinese will send you. Try to reduce your electric costs. Export your hydro power to the US at high rates.
- There are cheap electric cars coming from China. Allow them in your market and benefit from low cost environmentally friendly transportation.
- If anyone threatens your sovereignty, put a warrant out for their arrest the minute they arrive in Canada, even if they are a government official. Its your sovereignty, gloves off.
