I’ve been here for a few years and I’m shocked Reddit is still around.

Everything is relative. I live in Vietnam where tech people make a tiny fraction of what they could make in the US and quality of life would be significantly better despite the risk of dealing with ICE and other barriers.

Sure! I think a lot of people would be interested here.

I want to enjoy Mastodon so much, but I just never see that much discussion. It just feels empty.

I read the post like you at first, but I don’t think he works on the fediverse. I think it was just a poor/unclear sequence of clauses in his post.

Can someone explain how powerful a party can be in Germany with a plurality but without a majority?

This. Tbh if Biden rolled out this program, I’d probably say it was distasteful, but fine as it’s voluntary. At least it allows individuals to make choices for themselves.

That said, ICE is already kidnapping individuals at their citizenship interview appointments. I hope no one tries it. It’ll probably end up a Trojan Horse.

Admirable but there are a couple things to consider. Take fashion for example. Yes, H&M and Zara are European owned but (I’m assuming) near zero of their production is done in Europe, and instead in poor/developing countries. In my opinion, it sort of defeats the point. As an American, I’d love to support European brands that keep their production local.

It was always Pelosi calling the shots (for better or worse). Schumer was always there as a fundraiser.

As an American... don't cave. Boycott US products even if your countries give in. Otherwise we'll never learn our lesson.

Even Fox viewers can't hide from their credit card balance. At least I hope that's the case.

As an American living abroad, I support this message. I’ve already moved over 90% of my SaaS subs to Euro alternatives. Hardware will take a while. Other day to day stuff has been quite easy.
