US Ambassador to France - French Will Not Meet With Him -
Some good news (not)When my parents started in 1958 they could raise 4 kids on one income. When I started in 1985 we could raise two kids on two salaries.
In 2025 my kids can barely raise one kid on two salaries.
And then politicians want young people to have more kids.
Ain't gonna happen. -
US Ambassador to France - French Will Not Meet With Him@89th This wasn't basically a protest move. It is a deliberate strategy of undermining political stability.
If you don't get that you're willingly blind. -
US Ambassador to France - French Will Not Meet With Him@Mik Well, we didn't vote for this shit show, but we are facing the consequences.
-
US Ambassador to France - French Will Not Meet With Him@Renauda France will not do that. Neither will Belgium as the consequences might be too obnoxious.
But this is definitely a US strategy: causing havoc by pertinently lying about and interfering with local politics in Europe.
Trumpty-Dumpty and Shite (US ambassador in Belgium) are exponents of sheer stupidity and arrogance. -
The stupidest controversy ever@Horace Poor you. It's Greenlandic

The Ukraine war threadThe claim that Kazakhstan tried something on Trump in 2017 was -at least for me- a new element.

I Did Not Think There was. Rule Like This!There's this story about using hyalonacid to make their crotch more voluminous. So the suits need to be adapted resulting in jumping larger distances.

The new board of peace@Doctor-Phibes We have our share of muslims, but that is not the real issue

The new board of peace@jon-nyc Belgium did NOT join.

University Rankings by Scientific Research OutputThe problem by ranking on scientific research output is that there is very often no qualitative comparison possible.
Peer reviews are almost non-existent because everyone is creating loads and loads of unnecessary papers.
Eventual reviews that do appear are more often than not written by minions who don't know what they're writing/talking about.
Academic freedom is a notion that is completely corrupted by financial greed

Re the pandemic ACA subsidies@Mik Haha, right so.
In Belgium we got a new 'solidarity contribution' in 1994. Was to be temporarily. Lasted till 2022 and is now adapted because it discriminated singles. It got a new name but it's still the same... -
Mildly interesting@jon-nyc One month ago I was in Paris. The restoration of the Notre Dame is indeed half a miracle.
Btw, entrance is free. They should ask 1 symbolic euro as entrance fee. Daily income would surpass 30000 euro. Within 20 years all costs would be covered.
