Never knew this, thanks

Actual headline of the article: Milei, Musk and Maga: Is Argentina influencing the US?

I agree this is a problem.

You’re right, but the referendum wouldn’t be about which action the voters want the Hungarian governmentment to take it would be about which action they want the EU to take. A government shouldn’t be able to sabotage the wellbeing of it’s people against their will. The EU should be there for the people, not it’s government.

It really is becoming an orange Gestapo. Quick fact, Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei) is an abbreviation for Secret State Police. Secstapo doesn’t sound as good tho.

Also, I recently came across this list. Might be useful for the American freedom fighters.

I am really hoping this will mark the end of the EU shifting right. We’re much better off in the center.

Wow, there might be more Tesla’s put of fire than there are Russians that fell out of a window now.

I disagree, he’s not still in power because he fairly won free elections time and again. The Hungarian democracy is broken, especially because the media and legal system are compromised. There is plenty of people wanting Hungary to be a democratic country part of the EU. The same goes for Serbia, where massive protests are showing that more clearly at the moment.

Emotionally I agree, rationally I think I’d set a bad precedent if we give up on the Hungarians as people because we’re fed up with the actions of their government. Would be more fair to have some kind of referendum: stay in EU and ditch Orban vs leave the EU and keep Orban

I really hope the blue states will be able to protect and shelter at least a part of all the people being persucated. Nice to see this governer giving a good example

Please not another thing to worry about, there is so much going on already.

I read this earlier today, I am getting more upset by Israel each day while I have been thinking I’ve been at some maximum level of anger and sadness about the situation of the palastinans. Ive known Netanyahu is evil for a while now but so many Israeli are at is side I’m really starting to hate them.

I really want to believe you

The day is much shorter in the middle winter, so it never was about daylight being left after work. I agree if there is less than 8 hours of daylight and you work 8 hours or more in a factory or an office it doesn’t matter much which hours are dark and which aren’t.

I’m all for aligning life with the rhythm of nature and all, but I don’t see how that’d work in current times.

Well if you pick permanent summer time it’s gonna be light hella late in winter so you might not know it but it might matter much to you. Although I don’t know you and maybe it truly wouldnt matter to you

Yes, but the EU is split into four time zones now and if you implement this technically there would be many more:

8 if we’d have 30-min time-zones 16 if we’d have 15-min time-zones 24 if we’d have 10-min time-zones 48 if we’d have 5-min time-zones 240 if we’d have 1-min time-zones

I’m not saying we should keep dst, but we can’t have everyone have midday at 12:00 and midnight at 00:00.

True. Probably the sentiment is based on real feelings of real people, but I see this easily could be used to by a foreign power to further push the divide. There’s reason to look out for that.

That’ll teach them!
