How will you build wealth without mortgages and just paying cash? Then most people wouldn’t be able to afford to buy a home, they would always be slaves to rent. No mortgages plays right into the hand of the wealthy few that can exploit the renters.

I’m curious: why?

Removing IP law just feels like it would only benefit those with the resources to scale new technology quickly. It basically kills all start ups.

If we are solely looking at mainstream media, then there is very little coverage of protest in the US itself. We get more coverage on us Europeans, Canadians and Australians boycotting US made goods. Therefore, it might look like Americans aren’t really doing much. Of course, most of us know that’s not the case.

I know what you mean, but while he’s here, we could use someone like Biden to run our country. The Schoof coalition is a shit show, not really due to Schoof personally though.

This isn’t as much about the social media platforms, competing with those is relatively feasible. This is more about the professional infrastructure market. Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. There isn’t really a European competitor there, the US dominates this market. We have a huge trade deficit on these services, which Trump “conveniently” didn’t include in his trade war analysis.

Basically the only reason I read the article is to know if they needed a “backdoor” in encryption, guess the don’t need it, like everyone with a little bit of IT knowledge always told them.

Mostly in the US though, but unfortunately the US is leaking :(
