I think it would be pretty naive to think the US government would spend it any better.

Right but when he’s dead it will go to charity and hopefully to far better use than giving it to the US government to waste on interest payments and military spending.

Gates is leaving 1% of his wealth to his kids. Rest goes to the causes you mentioned.

Absolutely, I just disagree with hating on some collective group instead of trying to fix the issues we have in our societies together.

I’m thinking of getting an HMD Skyline instead of this? Any reason not to? Pros and cons?

Excellent news here, the EU gets a lot of flak because the right choices are rarely the popular ones.

I still think free trade should prevail. Even if China is unfairly subsidizing their EV makers it should be allowed to make that mistake because China would be subsidizing European consumers and helping our energy transition and making their own industry less innovative and more dependent on subsidies. Doubtless there would be issues for European car industry but it needs to renew itself anyways and we should be looking at the overall benefits and making sure the EU market is open for trade, competition and innovation.

This is awful for the global economy and it’s definitely looking more and more like these tariff tantrums from the US is just a dying empire desperately trying to fight against its eventual demise. China has already overtaken the US in many areas and it is really showing.

Fuck that

Boycotting US stuff
