  • We have 999 problems and migrants ain't one

  • Yeah, that's true. But their production seems to be almost fully for their internal market. Which shows how crazy the scale of the green energy transition within China.

    China accounted for 65% of global wind capacity in 2023

    So basically, China also installed twice as much wind power as the rest of the world in 2023

    It's similar with solar, but there China has a bit lower percentage of the demand, and more of manufacturing. -> It is a major exporter. See, e.g., https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/solar-pv-manufacturing-capacity-and-production-by-country-and-region-2021-2027

  • Great search, thank you!

  • One buttock XD

  • I think the difference is that, while both Russia and Germany are federations on paper, Germany is much less centralized.

    • to the best of my knowledge, 3.5% would be military spending, and 1.5% could be other "defence" spending (as others have already written).

    Still, not fun with the 3.5%/5%. Overshooting, typical for "weapons as war repellent" strategy (and unfortunately, expanded military often does not want to stay idle...)

  • Money is increasingly needed by the federal treasury, which spends every third ruble on the war

    Woah, 1/3rd of the budget is a lot.

  • So cool! I would also love to see a day train from Malmรถ/Stockholm to somewhere in Germany โ€ฟ

  • BTW, Grammarly is a sad story. They started out in Kiev in 2009, and sometime in the 2010s, they moved their headquarters to San Francisco. Idk if they gave official reasons.

  • How has LanguageTool been working for you? We have very similar journeys - the only other difference being that I used Firefox before, so I stay with it for now - but the move away from Grammarly I could not (yet?) make...

  • The list, sent to EU member states and seen by Reuters, pre-dates Mr Trump's move over the weekend to ramp up pressure on the 27-nation bloc and responds instead to US duties on cars and car parts and a 10% baseline tariff.

  • I know many people who do have all of the above-mentioned appliances electrical. And gas prices are also among the most expensive in the world (this is exactly why our electricity costs more...) ยฏ(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

  • Well, there is something to it, and I think we talk about different parties.

    Moderaterna, who have the PM, are just classic libs (though there is the true neoliberal Liberalerna in the ruling coalition as well). They are in the EPP, for those who follow European politics. Their program is, tbh, like that of the Democrats under Biden and Kamala. This is where the minister comes from. I think you mean them.

    Now, to get a majority in the government, Moderaterna (and two other parties) made a deal (Tidรถ avtalet) with Sverigedemokraterna. They are not in the government, but the government made an agreement with Sverigedemokraterna, vowing to implement some of their program in exchange for their support in the parliament. I call them far-right. They are in the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) in the European Parliament. Their main thing is being against migration. Generally, you could compare them to Trump vol. 1.

    I understand why others might think this is not far right. I come from Poland, the two largest parties come from EPP and ECR, and they are followed by even further right. Similarly, Sverigedemokraterna is not as far right as, for example, AfD in Germany. Or as Trump vol. 2. But others going even crazier does not exclude Sverigedemokraterna from the far-right.

  • Swedish government be like:

    Officially endorse far-right party

    Push xenophobic agenda

    A mentally sick person organizes the largest school shooting in the country, targeting specifically migrants >

    Youth joins far-right groups

    That includes a son of a ministry working on how to deport as many migrants as possible, making visa process as painful as possible, even for high-skill workers

    But WHY?!!?
