About time someone came with an offer, thank you I think I deserve it. And I’m sure you will be very happy with the speed improvements I can provide.

It’s amazing how fast AI can provide an answer to almost anything.
It’s like I’m extremely fast at calculating.
If you ask what is 257 time 389 I can give you an answer in a split second.
4809!! It’s obviously wrong, but it’s FAST!

On the bright side, he will never make a mistake again.

a cap on wealth is necessary for social cohesion.

Billionaires are undermining democracy, which already is a huge problem and against the values of a country that wants to be democratic.
Yes most billionaires end up wackos, which makes it even worse that they have so much power.
IMO you can add an extra zero to the decimal places to make it 300 million. 1 billion is IMO already to much.
But I wouldn’t make it a hard limit, just incrementally bigger tax percentage the higher you get.

I won’t stand in your way. I am in principle against death penalty, but sometimes you have to break a few eggs.

The only administration I have seen extorting empathy recently is the Trump administration that used it against the democrats by taking away food stamps and wages to force the democrats to yield so Republicans could take affordable healthcare away from Americans.

And now we have idiots like the California governor protecting billionaires against being taxed. It’s an ever worse one way street that only benefit the rich.

We don’t have to hang them, just put a wealth tax on them before they become billionaires.
But for anyone who has a billion I think it’s OK to take it all, because nobody should be so selfish so they have more than a billion.

I can assure you, I feel no empathy towards you Elon Musk.

Russia and China are democracies

No they are not, they are authoritarian regimes that oppress any political competition through censorship, imprisonment and even death. Just like we’ve seen with Navalny and Jack Ma. Try to look up tiananmen square in China. Or just ask a Chinese AI about it, it won’t tell you anything.
You are a complete idiot, and I really mean literal idiot for calling those 2 countries democracies, there are clearly standards for what constitute a democracy, and Russia and China are not in any way within those standards. Free press and freedom of expression without threat of persecution by the government is a requirement.

Democracy is not just about being allowed to vote for the dear leader, there has to be ability to participate in the whole political process without being oppressed.

But human rights? You’re joking, right? Guantanamo Bay.

Now you are just being stupid again, I said it shout be EXTENDED to human rights if we make a NATO replacement without USA, which we obviously can’t do now while USA is a member, because USA nolonger even pretend to observe human rights.

Don’t bother responding. I have blocked you, your points are moronic, and I don’t want to ever read anything from you again.
Get off the meth for christ sake.

The standard for NATO has always been to only accept democracies.
I see no reason why we would change that requirement for a new alliance.
I’d even go so far as to make respect of human rights a demand too like we have in EU, so we for instance exclude countries with death penalty.

There needs to be common values that we want to protect, with NATO it was democracy, based on our experience with USA, we need to extend that to include respect for international law and human rights as well as protecting democracy.

i propose the name na2.

Clever, but I don’t see why it should be limited to North Atlantic countries.
If for instance Australia and South Korea want to join, that should be an option.

IDK what you imagine should be done instead of what the Canadian government is already doing?
Despite the aggressive tariffs on Canada by USA, and a lot of disruption caused by USA, the Canadian government has managed to create an environment that has allowed impressive growth for the economy considering the circumstances.

Absolutely, Canada has now even made defense agreements with EU joining the EU SAFE program, and very early on trade agreements were expanded.
They have been very active rerouting export goods hit by US tariffs away from USA to other destinations, helped by the government paving the way for these new trade routes.

I can see from other comments that some Canadians don’t think the government has done enough, but I doubt they are aware of the speed the Canadian government has acted with, these things are very difficult to do quickly.

Look for instance on the trade agreement between south America and EU, it has taken 25 years to make!!
Canada has already made several international trade agreements beneficial to Canada in less than a year.
The fact that they are also looking into buying fighter jets from Swedish SAAB a non US country is also a very big deal. Which I as an EU citizen really hope goes through, because it seems like such a good deal on cooperation on sharing technology and make better planes on both sides. With SAAB and Canada partnering, instead of Canada just becoming a customer.

The net result of it all is that despite US sanctions against Canada, the Canadian economy has grown more than the US economy in 2025!

EDIT PS:
Technically the US GDP growth is slightly higher than Canada, but that is driven by the AI bubble, the real economy of USA when not counting AI is slowing down, as can clearly be seen on lack of job creation that falls far behind the increase in population.

A win for almost every other living creature on earth.
Personally I like to be alive, even if humanity destroys itself.

Exactly, there has to be pressure from the nations that still believe in the international rule of law.

“and the”

And the what???
Also center is not a “wing”.
You don’t seem to have any kind of coherent thought with your question.

Basically your question is “I don’t say I agree with right wing views, but…” You just use however instead. But it’s the same thing.
Also transgender is neither an ideology philosophy or religion. So your comparison to Theism is way off.
There’s a huge difference in believing to have a personal experience with the supernatural, and to have a personal experience about yourself.

scientifically under-defined

You can make that claim about a lot of things, even gravity and especially time, nobody understands time, would you deny time exist?

I would be OK with giving Russia a taste of their own medicine. But it’s an area where I think we need to be very careful, and not participate too strongly in a race to the bottom.

Not lemmy, but where I live, but my guess is that most Americans traveling to Denmark are more liberal than average too.
