looks like elbit has been screwed with by direct action in both the US and UK since even before the start of hostilities and it ratcheted up after Oct 7 for obvious reasons. I could buy that it was costly enough to make them not like the math. I'm still not seeing anything public from the actual companies or anything like that. page snipe broke my followup away from the op

Goatse James Bond posted:I cant believe i have to explain this but he's trolling Maybe it does need explaining? Trolling on a comedy forum implies a joke somewhere, but in the middle of an active genocide that he's done everything to stifle debate on, I fail to see anything that's funny in what he wrote. Maybe he's trolling for attention? If so, that would also explain his moderation actions and constant demand for individual PMs to discuss anything. If he's telling the truth, that would also explain his moderation decisions. Maybe if Koos ever survives the inevitable chain probes he'll be able to explain himself, or maybe they'll read the room, gently caress off, and find something productive to do with their time.... preferably something they are actually competent at. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 00:48 on Apr 4, 2024 |

oh I don't think it's funny trolling, I got caught in the backblast of a previous one many moons ago (that in fairness he asked about before posting and like a dumbass, I shrugged and said sure) I guess it's good that I posted then anyway I don't have a census of mod opinions on Gaza but it's trivially true that I'm on the "ceasefire now, one state solution with truth and reconciliation model would be nice" boat so that's at worst one end of the continuum

These new charges are coming into effect at the end of the month. It's going to destroy many small businesses, as well as increase food inflation. But at least we showed the EU

Remember when Brexit would make all the food cheaper because we could import from Africa and South East Asia under the WTO and cut out the EU's fears of flavorings and GMOs to mass produce food? Well turns out we've gone for the worst option instead.

Posting link instead of image because video: https://x.com/ecomarxi/status/1775557918517084237?s=20 Some of the comments say this isn't a protest against the govt but a protest by parents of hostages.

I wish I could get some cathartic joy out of going "Ha! Ha!

Higher import tariffs don't scare me, we have a thriving farming sector in the UK. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/04/british-farmers-want-basic-income-to-cope-with-post-brexit-struggles British farmers want basic income to cope with post-Brexit struggles posted:Farmers are calling for the government to grant them a universal basic income, saying the post-Brexit agriculture subsidy scheme has left many poorer.

https://www.thejournal.ie/united-ireland-e20-billion-every-year-20-years-6344302-Apr2024/ I don't believe the topline figure for a moment, but it's kind of sadly funny that Britain has ruined NI so completely that it could plausibly create a €400bn dollar economic hole for a United Ireland

Failed Imagineer posted:https://www.thejournal.ie/united-ireland-e20-billion-every-year-20-years-6344302-Apr2024/ From what i understand that info comes from the Irish branch of the IEA, a conservative thinktank and is based on Ireland doing it without support from the UK, EU or USA. Would still be a painful experience to a degree.

Yeah, I've long maintained here and elsewhere that the only way this ever happens is with EU subventions and concessions extracted from the UK. Hopefully, we'll have enough cop-on to figure out some of these arrangements first before putting it to a referendum, rather than blindly leaping into economic chaos
