“If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It’s a country based on theater. It’s a lunatic state - completely insane”.

Support for Biden was 59% in 2020 among Arab American. I wonder what and who caused it to drop so much…
Some do believe in lesser-evilism and are holding on to it, others simply don’t care except about themselves. This drop remains one of the largest in a very short period. Biden and the Democratic Party had around 59% approval among Arab Americans before October 2023. I don’t have conclusive data but I know that it was higher than among the general population at any period, now it is in the single digits.
This could help reduce cooling costs. Can it be applied to existing houses?
As much as I love Greek culture, I think I’m going to stay right here. I will use the long(er) weekend to visit Greece and her hard-working people.
To think social progress is not coming from Europe anymore…
Some of us are not PC gamers and have no desire to be. I prefer consoles and will always do, though I miss the simple -no-install required- consoles of yesteryear.
They should have sued the coward police department. The rest of the world plays the same games people play in the US. I grew up playing GTA, didn’t steal or shoot anything.
You are right, I haven’t checked for a while, I thought it was still unavailable. I ordered one yesterday.
It is still super hard to get
It is if you needed to collect taxes and wanted a way to measure 📐
I realized the hypocrisy in 2020 how US politicians talked about George Floyd protests versus Hong Kong protests. That was a very formative moment for me.
Now this, is just confirmation. The US government is staffed with racist hypocrites from both parties.
If all they are using their PCs for is word processing and intranet webapps, perhaps they don’t need Windows anymore. It is not like ActiveX is supported anymore.
If you’re not sure if this is bad or not, replace “Boeing” with “Comac”.
I’m so thankful to live in a country with mandatory vaccination. Trusting the people with public health is absurd, the people are mostly ignorant and can easily fall for propaganda.
It isn’t perfect. Far from it, but every woman is entitled to free healthcare including most foreigners except very high earners.
And we are not that bad compared to some US states if you can trust American Progress https://www.americanprogress.org/article/authoritarian-regimes-have-more-progressive-abortion-policies-than-some-u-s-states/
Weird that you accuse us of being polluters when our impact historically, currently and cumulatively is nowhere near the US or most countries. https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2
I did qualify my post that it isn’t for everyone. I am of the culture, I understand it, and I know how to function in it.
Sorry. It isn’t a country that anyone can just move to. It has many serious flaws and is not pleasant for people from different backgrounds. But it did allow my father to retire in his 50s and my uncles to retire in their 60s. But if you are willing to play along, and keep your thoughts to yourself, you do get a lot for free from education to healthcare and it is affordable to live in, and foreigners do manage to save here. Oh no income tax either.

One of the reasons I decided to leave the US. Yes, the Economist is British but the US has the same problem. I realized chances are I will never save enough for retirement, my 401k planner even says so. So I am moving back to the country that allowed my father to retire in his 50s. 10 years ago when I started working in the US I didn’t expect this outcome, and the longer I stay here the longer it will take me to improve my conditions.

I agree. At least publicly, Saudi Arabia acknowledges climate change as a risk and that the era of fossil fuels will be soon over. I have no way of reading what the leaders actually believe, but their actions show that they want Saudi Arabia to remain an energy provider even post oil.

Here we have been experiencing extreme weathers, like everywhere else around the world, I seriously hope the leadership act and quickly.

Another Arab American poll by another institution in November 2023 reported a drop from 59% to 17% for Biden. Biden’s and Trump’s popularity dropped further since then, even if ADC are odd in their results.
