The colour car you buy is a choice. Race is not.

Tariffs hit small importers harder. It is a great way to remove competition.

This bodycam one is a bit longer, which I believe helps a bit:

You can see that he first refuses to go to the ground. They then taze him and he falls on his back, but then turns over to seemingly protect the knife. You can tell in your video as well as in this one, that it least one of the policemen tries to turn him over first. So he is not trying to cooperate with the police at all, let alone freely drop the weapon and is able to move at least somewhat(he clearly turned himself over after all).

They probably should have called a third policemen at that point to turn him over, as having a third person clearly worked. They seem to also have stopped kicking his head, once they got the knife and him properly handcuffed.

Still given the situation, that was somewhat decent. In many countries, he would have been killed by the police in that situation.

The guy had just stabbed two men with a knife. When the police used a tazer on him to get him on the ground and apparently kicked him, when he did not want to drop something, he was holding in his hand. They also had another guy controlled on the ground with a rucksack. So you know might have been a bomb or something. Also the guy who was kicked was not restrained at all. That was visible in the video and Polanski was just plain and simply wrong about that.

The US still makes steel for example. It fell compared to the 1960s, but is still at about WW2 levels. That is true for a lot of US manufacturing. The industry is still around, but has not grown since years and automation and falling prices makes them less relevant to the overall economy.

The Disney Magic is Bahama flagged. This is not US territory and ICE has no right to be on it what sort ever.

Did Trump cut fuel taxes? or why is it only 1€/l or so.

Honestly they should attack air defence.

Honestly probably both. It is also pretty frequent these days. Syria and South Africa are adopting solar for similar reasons as Pakistan. Russia cutting off most of Europe from fossil fuels accelerated the transition. The funniest is probably the current US war against Iran, which is ultimately about oil and gas, but by blocking a good part of the global supply of that ends up making them worth less in the long term.

and I thought Guy Fawkes was born in England…

Winning elections in the US is about mobilizing your base. Very few people actively make a choice to vote Republican or Democrat. Most do between voting or not voting.

Unfortunatly for people without the background of somebody like you, that will be loved by ICE. Saves them from a lot of paperwork, before shooting them.

The US actually does do that. The issue is that shipping companies do not actually want to risk the life of their crews.

I would have thought somebody would have offered a life chaning sum to some sailors for the journey. That is entirly possible since oil is above $100 barrel and a very large crude carrier can transport 2million barrels of oil or so. So even with a crew of 30, you can still pay everybody a million for the risk and make insane profit, since oil is nearly free inside the Gulf.

Every progressive would be able to answer honestly, that they are against genocide in general and therefore against both those in Gaza and Sudan. It therefore just does not work as a strike against progressives at all.

It works against Arab nationalists however. So interesting, that this triggers you.

It is just crazy how little is reported about this. There is a good chance that the most deadly current genocide is not happening in Gaza but in Sudan. The US special envoy said that over 400k have been killed by the war. That would be 4X worse then Gaza and this makes this even worse.

“The West” is a pretty bad category in this case. Germany had 66%, France 69% and Italy 72% growth in EV sales in the same period. The US saw a decline in sales though and from what was already a lower base.

Forests are not necessarily the most diverse and natural ecosystem in certain regions. When you go back time with a similar climate to today and no humans, you would have had straight tusk elephants, some of the largest the world has ever seen in what is today Germany. Add to that Irish elk, which 4.5m from bottom to the top of the antlers tall and European forms of lions, leopards and rhinos.

These species would have kept Germany a much more open landscape, with some forested areas, but still open grassland. That is why a lot of native species require open grassland to survive. For example the bustard does not live in forests, but so do many insects. They often survived thanks to pastures keeping land somewhat open.

That is also true for many other parts of the world. Forests are not always ideal.

No need to wait, when you can just watch the last one. Notice the lack of a driver too.

According to the study, the average age that humans had children throughout the past 250,000 years is 26.9.

Also for today it is well above that in many countries: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/period-average-age-of-mothers

Omsk was last hit 26.0.8.2024, Moscow 11.03.2025 and Taneco 11.01.2025. The largest ones also have multiple production lines. So they can still operate, but at reduced capacity. Ukraine should try to shut down as much refinery capacity as possible and export. So Russia has to close oil wells and has fuel shortages. The country is massive after all, so it takes a lot to transport fuel throughout it.
