I find it interesting compared to the USA.

The USA has migration from richer parts of the country to select poorer parts because the lower cost of living makes up for the lower wages. There are also states that built themselves in part on the back of being a low cost of living place to retire.

Why isn’t Europe there yet?

It isn’t one person that people go onto a micro blogging service for, but a variety of people.

The National Guard functions like your Home Guard for the most part. Some states do full time deployment, but it is rare and mainly applies security tasks. States are allowed to have standing armies, but it doesn’t happen because it is usually considered a waste of tax payer money.

What I expect is that, as the Union military grows, individual European nations will stop operating militaries outside of their home guard. After all, why have a standing army for the country when you are contributing to a standing army for the Union?

Without having a way to deal with corruption, it is just inviting the troops to become corrupt as well.

El Salvador has seen crime drop across the country after Bukele arrested everyone with a gang tattoo.

Using the USA as a model, the federal military maintains the specialized units that don’t have a civilian use along with training the military leadership such that it can absorb a larger army.

Individual states have active reserve military units (national guard) that have both military and civilian use. For instance, a lot of disaster response activities in the USA is performed by the national guard under state control.

From that skeleton, the US military can then fill out other units in times of war.

My guess is that an EU military would follow that structure since it has been shown to work well and the union can’t rely on France to build and fund those specialty units by themselves.

A lot of major cities will have a lot of smaller general aviation airports next to each other.

What third party protest voters? Trump won a majority of votes.

People decided to stay home this election.

And I’m responding to that claim asking, based on his first term, do we really think holding his feet to the fire on this is going to work?

If he got re-elected, is that going to work?

The government has been dysfunctional for a while.

Isn’t that traditional of any Olympics?

Also, I’m sure Los Angeles is going to best these numbers given that they made it possible to make being homeless illegal.

I thought Mpox is rather controllable right now as the smallpox vaccine works on it.

There are enough Cuban refugees that make it a big enough issue that the embargo stays.

Collective guilt combined with massive Israeli political pressure.

It is probably just grumbling.

Yahoo under Mayer seemed to have the same strategic issue as Yahoo before Mayer; it didn’t know what to do with what it had.

Tumblr should still be a giant in social media. Flickr should have been a better used product than Google Photos and the basis for building their cloud storage service.

Yahoo could never figure out the step 2 required before making a company profitable.

And it turns out there aren’t a lot of franchises in Palestine.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Israeli assets were dedicated to keeping American political opinion on their side. It is an integral part of their foreign policy to rely on American support.

China, India, and Brazil are all large countries with large economies, but I agree they don’t have a lot to agree on.
