What else was he supposed to do with his house?

Have you any inkling how incredibly insulting it is to imply that schizophrenics are prone to be Nazis?
He is a Nazi. He may have not been one before, but he is now. This is independent of his diagnosis.

This isn’t mental illness, this is a Nazi.

Tax on BO receipts, print rental, subscription fees etc.
- Comment on Trump says ordering '100% tariff' on all movies produced abroad 1 week ago:
That’s not how it works economically. When a US production shoots in Germany, everything is an export. The wood for the sets, the catering, the hotel rooms, the vehicles, equipment, wages, fuel. It’s all inward investment in the German economy.
Domestic films can’t deliver that.
- Comment on Warning RTS electricity meters in 300,000 homes could stop working 1 week ago:
So still costing hundreds of millions, and not broadcasting audio, just the trigger signal? Sounds like an even more colossal waste of resources.
The vast majority of people have switched to smart meters without issue. For those where there are technical barriers, some sort of fallback should be provided. But the stubborn and bloody-minded should be left to it.

The installations have to happen. Why spend hundreds of millions of licence fee payer’s money the BBC doesn’t have on a temporary kicking of the can?
- Comment on Kneecap apologises to families of Sir David Amess and Jo Cox 1 week ago:
Their personas and performances are definitely tongue-in-cheek. No-one (not already on a watchlist) who attended those events would come away with the impression they were actually inciting murder.
However they recently called out Israel at a major American event, and so the bot farms are in furious overdrive to amplify any clippable moment.

It would cost millions to design and build it and, as it would be the only one in the world ever built, it would again rely on bespoke components, for a service the BBC has been wanting to close for nearly 20 years anyway.

Then good luck as you embark on your new life without electricity.
- Comment on Warning RTS electricity meters in 300,000 homes could stop working 2 weeks ago:
The issue isn’t the funds, it’s the practicality. The transmitter needs two obsolete valves to operate, and the BBC bought the entire world’s supply in around 2010, which still amounted to less than ten. When one of the final pair blows it’s the end regardless of money.

Because that was the intended use case for this repository.
- Comment on DRM-Free OnlyFans Downloads See Widevine Project Nuked From GitHub 2 weeks ago:
To GitHub’s credit, when rightsholders allege violations of the DMCA’s anti-circumvention provisions, GitHub conducts its own assessment. If there is no basis for a claim, GitHub sometimes finds other copyright-related grounds, but here there is no pushback. That’s usually a sign of a complaint that stands up under intense scrutiny.

- Comment on Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11. 2 weeks ago:
Or we could stop gamifying slaughter and stop giving soldiers medals, and use the money to pay for healthcare.

- Comment on N the digital age, it's going to be harder for ICE agents to hide their identities than it was for Nazis trying to evade justice post WW2. 2 weeks ago:
Then they’ll still need border guards, soldiers, police, judges. The “good German soldier” myth was created because if every Nazi were to be prosecuted, the nation would be paralysed.

This is the first outfit of a steam locomotive with ETCS Level 2, hence the length and cost of the project.

They were part of a land grab that took it from the Spanish along with Guam and some other places. Gained independence in 1946.

Lack of hostile land grabs? West of the Mississippi, Texas, Hawaii and the Philippines would beg to differ.

I wonder how long that will last when shit meets fan.
- Comment on Anti-Trans Ruling in UK Strips Protections From Trans Women 3 weeks ago:
This bombastic style of reporting isn’t helpful. The ruling doesn’t “strip” protections, it clarifies that Scotland made a law based on an error in interpretation of an earlier law, ergo those protections never existed. It further points out that the Equalities Act confers protections on trans people regardless.
This is an opportunity to introduce the protections Scotland thought were in force, but actually.

- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 4 weeks ago:
You’re unfortunately very mistaken there. That fundamental was shattered in 1993 when social care was separated from the NHS (free at point of use) and instead given to local government (means tested pricing at point of use). Ever in search of savings for their limited budgets, local governments promptly privatised and outsourced their services. We went from 65% of care home spaces being publicly funded at the end of the 1970s to 6% a decade ago. At-home care went from being 95% publicly funded in 1993 to 11% in 2012.
This sector of healthcare is beyond breaking point, with over 100,000 unfilled staff vacancies in care homes alone. This creates a backlog as NHS hospitals can’t discharge patients who need residential care that doesn’t exist.
If you’re expecting a free-at-point-of-use care home later in life, think again. That is gone. Unless you have a large accumulation of savings to burn through things don’t look rosy.

The NHS has already largely been privatised. GPs were always private contractors but now GP groups have been increasingly bought by US companies, with the largest GP group in England, The Practice (half a million patients), being completely US owned
NHS Logistics was privatised 2006-2019 (part of DHL, later Unipart) before becoming a government owned company.
NHS internal operation capacity has essentially frozen since 2014, with the increase coming from the private sector. Over a third of “NHS” hip and knee operations, 60% of cataract operations, and a fifth of operations overall are contracted out to private companies.
In terms of “internal” structure the service has been broken up into more than 500 legally distinct “Public Benefit Corporations” who can set up commercial subsidiaries and bid for provision contracts between themselves, as well as entering into commercial partnership with foreign companies such as the Mayo Clinic’s involvement in Oxford’s NHS provider.
Social care has been almost totally privatised at this point.

With its support for capital punishment, the Democrats would fit somewhere in the far right in most of Europe.
