I’m not sure about the untapped part of Single Market. Energy transition is probably the biggest growth opportunity in Europe

Yeah, there weren’t much of the nodes in Russia even before they tightened internet up.

It will be untenable for Russia to keep status quo. Its landlocked, Moldova turning towards EU and Ukraine on other side as well.

I’m aware of that. But nothing came of it. And besides, the region is no stranger to violence. Cartels in many countries there function as warlords. That is their biggest and immediate problem.

There is clearly a plan to defeat Russia, which is actually pretty long term and currently being executed.

First time hearing this. Or are you referring to “plans” for disintegration of Russia into dozens of countries?

Venezuela under Maduro supported Russia.

It was more the other way around…

They also caused problems in the entire region

I think the entire region is well known for problems of many kinds and none of them have anything to do with who is the boss in Caracas.

For the EU the abduction of Maduro was a net benefit.

It proved once again that the leaders are nothing more than American lapdogs. No imagination for what even a concept of a plan could look like.

Defender has design cues to the original one. This Chinese SUV is simply boxy and big. Toyota Land Cruiser and Hyundai SantaFe are rip offs as well?

Linked top gear article has the photos. Its inspired sure, but I wouldn’t call it a copycat.

And they were also giddy about Venezuela abduction. Its a sad sad state of things.

Lol no. Max pressure on anyone protesting is old tradition

Journalists just parrot what the police tell them because they don’t have access to experts, don’t want to do the work talking to them or think the police must be the experts.

They don’t bite the hand that feeds them stories.

You need good IT infra to generate plausible deniability for genocide

This looks unflattering and surprisingly cheap. 200 sqm of land is very very tiny though.

This data can’t produce useful results for my country because of multi-generational houses where house is defacto subdivided into apartments but dejure its single family home.

I bet in for instance urban Romania a car is a greater cost than a home.

That is ridiculous statement.

Also Denmark is in the middle, but has one of the best work/life ratios in Europe.

I think those take rent not buying costs into account? Does Denmark also have very long mortages?

I think real info is how attainable is solid standard of living if you assume that buying your home is the single biggest expense item in your life. So I think you could min-max a “best” city in terms of work/life.

Brussels seems like the best choice from here. I’ve been there only once. It’s nice but the not nicest parts are quite on the not nice side of things. Maybe this is what brings the ratio down?

Once Musk stepped out of active politics people quickly forgot. And frankly Teslas as EVs are quite competitive.

There are many critiques of the eurozone that its in a weird limbo. You have one size fits all solution and very little EU level budget to offset it in member countries where the solution doesn’t fit. This is especially meant for interest rate and exchange rate.

I have it on my gaming machine. Stuff works :)
