The US is doing great though. It's just Europe getting hammered.

This is incredible, it feels like parts of the USA are so advanced.

Here in Sweden we're going backwards, they even took out self-scanning at a lot of supermarkets due to theft.

The whole thing reeked of propaganda intended to make the left look stupid

Got some bad news for you...

What were they being arrested for though?

[-] nivenkos@lemmy.ml -1 points 7 months ago

may have targeted the brains of US diplomats with "directed energy" weapons

Some evidence would be nice... extraordinary claims.

A 33% difference isn't exactly "very close".

Your first article just shows the EU growing at 1% and the US growing above 2%

This means that the gap between our economies is growing. And a lot of countries are in recession (or bouncing in and out) - like Sweden, Germany and the UK.

Median wealth and income are arguably worse:

Income: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_average_wage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita#Table

Wealth inequality: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_wealth_inequality#List

Sweden is far worse than the US for example - with much higher wealth inequality and much lower median purchasing power.

I don't think you can find a single area where the EU is performing better economically.

I agree completely - same for stuff like free school meals, sure there's some complexity in the implementation - but the idea shouldn't be controversial to provide all children with healthy food and a level playing field.

But it's the same situation in healthcare, law enforcement, etc. too - Europe is just in a steep decline right now.

Almost all of them support Hamas though, even in the West Bank.

In fact, it's extremely likely that Hamas (or some off-shoot) will soon end up as the government there too.

Why would Ukraine be terrorists? It's not like they entered Russia taken civilians hostage and committed mass rape and murder in a day of rampage against civilians. That is what Hamas did, that is what the Palestinians mostly support.

Most of it has gone to "Social Justice" and groups pushing for racism, etc. sadly.

Back then they had no cars at all though.

But yeah he's not personally building the rockets and engines, but he's still far, far better than 99% of politicians and oligarchs who are just using the same money to go to Epstein's island etc.

Terraria - I just don't understand what you're meant to do or why it's interesting.

I actually really like TOTK though, it's a big improvement over BOTW with a slightly more alive world and the vehicle creation stuff is fun.
