I don't think Israel would care. Or the USA

Center right liberal

We’ve already been living in corporate dictatorships for a long time. We just didn’t know it yet.

Can't really overstate that.

The young Turks. Center right

The best self, the parts you want to develop but don't, for fear of people not liking or supporting that.

Consumer behaviour and preferences – on both sides of the Atlantic – play a huge part in the US-EU trade relationship. A trade deficit often reflects differences in production costs and product quality. This suggests that American consumers generally prefer European products over domestic alternatives, while European consumers favour their own products over American ones. The result is a trade deficit in favour of the EU. One major contributing factor, particularly in food exports to the EU, is the bloc’s stringent regulations on agriculture, which the US has repeatedly challenged. These include rules on hygiene and pesticides (known as sanitary and phytosanitary standards, SPS) and geographical indications (GIs). Longstanding and unresolved trade disputes involving agricultural products have limited US exports to the EU, particularly in beef, poultry, and dairy products.

I prefer European imports, whenever possible, but it's rare, being in a food desert.

Or mentally unwell people stalking.

100% agree. We should have been this aggravated by them 50 years so and held their feet to the fire. 80 million? Hell no. They can earn votes by taking the talk then walking the walk. I'm not foreseeing voting Democrat any time soon, if ever.

Callow* look it up.

Compromise is what got us here. Your argument is callow, as well. Very few late term abortions happened, and when they did, were too save the life of the mother.

Because the "adults in the room" the first time did that, rather than holding out for book deals after it was over, right?
