>>Not everyone is so rich. People should have the choice about whether or not they want an unnecessarily expensive house.
what you saying is that it's cheaper to put lead pipes instead of copper, right? or not do proper wall ventilation / insulation and let whole thing rot and mold within a year or two? etc, etc. I don't know bro. I'd rather have regulations.
Well, there is one more likely answer.
he was complaining about who will control businesses in the territories that were occupied by his gangs. Might that be that he got what he wanted and viola?
Industries produce goods that are _intentionally_ made NOT to last, but are made to go garbage and pollute our environment. Even if we as consumers will put that into recycle or re-use it in some other way, still vast majority of that goes into waste. It is not done to make it cheap and affordable, it is produced that way to maximize profits of manufacturers by allowing frequent sales repetitive sales. Companies that used to produce reliable stuff don't do that no more. Not in their offer list. How do I fix this individually?
I've been like you good part of my life. Until very recently, when it hit people close to me.
Fsck pootin, he's getting more and more insane. he won't stop till he's punched into his face such that his neck is broken.
> I've experienced more divisive content from western media itself than overt anti-west stuff from RT or yandex lmao.
there is enough of media in the west that is in partially/wholly owned or heavily sponsored by rus and that transmit their propaganda or divisive narratives. All under disguise of free speech. And then someone may even blame that it's western media itself with their freedom of speech. how convenient.
For context:
in USSR a person could not choose to move to live in another area, city or town. that was VERY difficult to do (was possible by marriage). Baltic countries and any close to border areas were especially controlled. But military, KGB and Communist party could appoint people to live in Baltic countries. those were "special" people - that proved their allegiance I can say. That is why they are a challenge to Estonia and other Baltic countries.
Please provide references to your claims that Ukraine wanted to join NATO that date before 2014. Not from Putin and Co claims. Ukraine, until very recently had no plans of joining NATO. Apparently Russia attempted Ukraine invasions starting 20+ years ago. It was always about rebuilding empire and forcing everyone back. And still is.
Disagree. russia forces puppet dictatorships on its neoghbours , but when that fails they spread lies and invading / annex them. Haven't this happened multiple times already?
I remember seeing interview on TV with a McDonalds worker in Switzerland. She said, They are paid about 35 Euro/hour. and they are happy to work at McDonalds ! One of comments from the reporter was that higher salaries increase the price of BigMac by some cents( I remember that it was about 50cents) due to higher salary comparing to cost of BigMac in US. I wonder, Could this be a way to fix the lack of employees? /s
OTOH, an extraterrestrial civilization can use this method to detect other civilizations - they'll be able to detect when someone attempts to eavesdrop on them. cool.
> The US, along with every other developed economy, is significantly older today than it was 40 years ago.
As employees are squeezed out of profit, life gets more expensive and it gets harder to have kids.
