Yeah well getting invaded by a country twice in living memory will do that to you.

Lol because russian is so open about who they give nsl to. Or they just poison/defenestrate them

Finland was no NATO and not even the USSR touch it Yes because they had one of the largest regional armies. And why do you think that is? Maybe because they already had Russia invade twice within living memory

Worth noting that they stayed out of Nato until it was obvious their lunatic neighbour with “imperialistic aims” wouldn’t stop invading others…

Lol no longer relying on immigration. Last year had the highest immigration level ever…

Let’s not be descrimatory here. I don’t think Dianne Feinstein is doing too well either:)

I’ve used Mint for a couple of years now. Gaming has never been better on Linux. It’s not perfect and there are still a lot of issues with games that use intrusive anti cheat. It depends on what you like to play. COD type games you may have issues with but almost every single player game works these days. Some times it will require a little fiddling to be fair but generally it only takes 10 min to check what’s required. Protondb is your friend if you want a good idea of whether it will work before buying

I use them daily so imagine how much worse they would be with generational debt.
It would be used as an excuse to privatise every thing left :( I really can’t understand how it wouldn’t affect the average person. You can’t just hand wave away the impact of a very large amount increased debt. Ironically the people that would have had the least amount ‘benefit’ from the slave trade would be the ones that feel the most impact from any reparations. Social programs would be the first ones hit

Of course they are, roads, hospitals, railways etc are vote buying. Doesn’t mean they are doing it out of a sense of civic duty because they are generally scum. But if you think that 14 trillion in reparations (450k per tax payer!) Isn’t going to have a massive impact on future spending then I have a bridge for sale!

Except you would feel the effects. The government would end up with less money for services so worse roads, hospitals, schools etc and probably higher taxes
