  • The monarchy is basically a cheerleader group, they are symbolic. The leader of the country is the prime minister, currently Bart De Wever.

    For the EU it doesn’t matter that trump puts 20% tariffs, as long as china has higher tariffs. China sells to us, we manufacture it further, we sell it to the USA.

    It doesn’t even matter that much, you folks barely have any VAT on your products. These tariffs will be a discriminatory VAT.

    It’s going to hurt a lot in the short term. This is a policy that requires a steady leadership like china has. I don’t believe the USA has the structure for that. In the next elections it will be a landslide victory for the democrats. Too much chaos and uncertainty, looks like child’s play to win such an election.






  • Median net wealth of my country is 250k euros, the solidarity here is quite good.

    The life expectancy here is about 5 years higher than in your country, which means we workout more, have access to better healthcare, have better environment, better food.

    I’ve been working out the past 11 years with weekly deadlifts, bench press, pull ups, squats… Which literally raised my testosterone quite a bit.

    I can cycle to work, you can’t. You need to sit in a boring box pressing a pedal and try not to fall asleep. When you’re late cuz of traffic you just have to work overtime or you get fired.

    Medical bankruptcy isnt a thing here, congrats on your president putting tariffs on medicine, sick people love it. Edit: disgusting shithole. Every family has people with cancer.

    Having walkable cities is the most normal thing to me.

    I haven’t actually ever heard any reason for me to want to even visit the USA.

    I probably should, sometime. But I prefer going to Asia.
