Tariffs make us all poorer in the long run. Did we learn nothing in the 20th century?

Just use Steam.

This is the new luddite movement.

It really is. Degrowth is destitution and death - just look at Germany.

We need to decouple electricity production from environmental damage - build renewable power and nuclear power station en masse and invest heavily in nuclear fusion.

Wtf is a "professional communicator"? How do you think you get there?

They just needed someone who wasn't really weird, and had a proper job. Look at Mick Lynch's interviews in the UK for example - he did great work for the union.

Bureaucracy destroys innovation.

Meanwhile in the US they have https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/this-genetically-engineered-petunia-glows-in-the-dark-and-could-be-yours-for-29/

The EU risks becoming a scientific backwater compared to the US and China.

We're already decades behind SpaceX, Waymo, and the genetic engineering work.

China is already way ahead of us in most areas though. They have their own space station, electric cars, etc. - if anything we should be hoping to import technology from them.

It's Europe that is becoming a backwater - especially with the never-ending overburdening regulation like the AI Act, DSA, and Cybersecurity Act killing startups and FOSS.

How can they recognise a terrorist state which is literally holding innocent Israelis hostage at this very moment?

The EU should stop all aid and focus on our countries IMO. We have sky-high inflation and interest rates, what money is there to give away? Especially to religious extremists and terrorists who then attack our own nations and allies?

This but unironically. Tesla put electric vehicles on the map. Starship will change humanity forever, and Neuralink is already helping patients.

He's not perfect (but hey, Von Braun was worse), but at least he's actually doing stuff that matters.
