Of course, Capitalism will regulate itself. Once we all get a Darwin award for thinking so.

The day I see some real serious push-back against Trump, will be a day for celebration.
And by real serious, I mean a lot more than just impeachment that turns out nothing, or the cancellation of a few presidential orders.
I mean real attempts to actually stop him from destroying USA and democracy.

I’m not American, but I don’t enjoy seeing USA being destroyed like it is now. We need more sensible leaders in the world, not fewer.

So as of now it’s none?
Because he hasn’t already been crazy enough for congress to stop him?
Republicans in congress are crazy too, and it requires qualified majority (66%) to stop an executive order AFAIK.

From your link:

this crap started popping up every time I stoped,

This should absolutely be illegal, as it blocks the use of the panel until the message is closed. This is an unnecessary traffic distraction, that is bound to statistically cause issues and even accidents.

2nd paragraph of the article:

Update: the above image is older, which has some folks on social media wondering

Stelantis was reported doing this with Jeep, and now they are doing it with Dodge too. You are confusing the issue because you are misremembering the facts.

3rd paragraph:

This isn’t the first time Stellantis has pulled this sort of stunt with popup ads, either. They already tried adding pop-up ads to Jeeps

This is just another example of the shitshow Stellantis has become! It’s an unnecessary distraction that blocks the use of the screen until you close the message. This is bound to cause issues and probably even accidents.

How many of Trumps actions were blocked by congress?

Difference is that Trump doesn’t give a shit about support for the next election. He only cares to please Putin.

the public didn’t know

That’s not true, for many years Firefox was basically financed by Google for being the default search engine, because Google didn’t want Microsoft to monopolize Internet Browsers. Everybody who had the slightest interest knew that.

But that’s completely irrelevant, it’s a very marginal source of revenue today, and Firefox does not sell user info to Google. So it’s on Google to warn about using Google search.
The only reason for the change in Firefox privacy terms was for clarification. For instance any information given to Firefox, does not grant Firefox ownership of it. (opposite of for instance Facebook)
That’s a guarantee of user protection, not the opposite. Firefox has a very limited scope of “using” user data, like for instance storing links with Firefox, so they work across multiple devices.
There is no “harvesting” of user behavior or information.

Yes those are tough to get from good sources, but they are made in Europe too in for instance Greece and Spain, probably also Turkey and Italy. We just need it to be better shown where they are from.
Here in EU, Almonds are often from California, and Pistachio from Iran or Israel, I don’t want that either.
We need to source them from Europe. Almonds and Pistachios are too delicious to not have.

I don’t think 3 bags of popcorn is enough. Indeed 2020 was crazy, but the first 3 months of 2025 have been even crazier.
And yes Trump and Musk will most definitely both get worse.
But the trajectory for Musk is worse IMO, I commented about a year ago to my wife, that I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk ends up committed to a psychiatric hospital. Trump is bad too, not in the same way. But his dementia is getting worse.

It’s quite clear he has been getting steadily worse over the years, so I don’t get the rationale of your comment.

I just noticed a local brand of Peanuts for my country used American peanuts, so I left it on the shelf.
Alcohol, Wine and soap are other products that can also be American.
We too use very few American made products, and we don’t use American internet services. But it pays to take a look now and then, every little bit counts when so many are doing it.

IDK if Firefox is better or worse to use, I just know I don’t want to use a Google browser. So I use Firefox, like on my desktop.

I know the CEO was an interim after Gelsinger, but wow that was fast!!
Best of luck to him, he will need both that and talent.

I’m guessing by Nazi elections you are referring to the pre WW2 elections, where the NSDP took power without a majority.

The difference now in for instance Germany is that AfD is by far most popular in a small segment of the country. And even if AfD get 30% they will not be able to take exclusive control, probably not even be able to get into government.

I agree it’s worrying that AfD is so popular, and it does indicate a problem in Germany that needs to be addressed.
My guess is they are popular because the former East Germany part feel overlooked, and that too many resources are used on refugees/immigrants.
Something Denmark has warned about on a European scale for more than a decade.
We simply haven’t figured out a working framework to keep receiving more and more immigrants from non Western countries, for a variety of reasons.
And the worst off in society believe they are the ones to foot the bill, because the poor don’t get much share in our increased wealth. But the truth is most of our increased wealth is going to those that already have more than they need.

We need to for instance stop giving more tax benefits to the rich, and have a better balance in how the wealth of our society is distributed. Fascism sucks at doing that, but without an alternative on the left, that’s where the protest votes will go. Because they promise to “solve” what the less well off perceive to be a huge part of the problem.

Yes that is coherent, there are rules to for instance avoid violent protests. Violent protests are not democratic, violence and lawlessness is how fascism rise.
Like for instance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

#1 is in UK.
#2 Could have easily been done legally.

repressive legal measures taken by universities

Which they can only do because they didn’t do the protests legally.

#3 is about the same as #2.

None of these are environmental, and has absolutely zero saying on the headline that claim:

Europe Criminalizes Environmental Protest

And it doesn’t disprove that these protests could have been arranged legally. There are reasons why we have legal frameworks for protests. One of the reasons is that protests need to be peaceful. Violent protests are NOT democratic:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_6_United_States_Capitol_attack

UK is in Europe.

Oh REALLY!!! Do you have MORE information everybody know???
How does that justify writing protests are being made illegal in Europe as if it’s all of Europe???

It’s a bullshit headline plain and simple.

It can also mean creating new laws

No not “also” that’s LITERALLY what it means, that laws are changed to make it illegal, when previously it was not. and that happened in UK under Boris Johnson. There is nothing comparable in other European countries.

Bullshit!!

Protests are part of the democratic process, and allowed in democracies.

What a moronic headline?! UK is not Europe, and environmental protests are not criminalized in any other European country AFAIK.
Also there are rules for protests, if you break those, you may be arrested. Disregarding what the protest is about.

Edit:
To those that downvote, it’s the same as writing Asia is making something illegal, but it’s really only Thailand.
Please explain how that’s not moronic?

PS: There are rules to prevent protests to turn violent, because violent protests are NOT democratic:
