"fair and well funded" my ass.

German farmers get over 40% of their income from subsidies and tax cuts already, they're effectively state owned.

These idiots get squeezed by the food industry and instead of doing anything about it, they cry for more and more subsidies.

And one thing to remember: a whole lot of farmers are just really really not smart. They live in their farmer bubble and if the nazi editor of their farmer magazine claims that refugees steal their corn and woke people want to ban their pork, they'll believe that.

That doesn't change anything, tbh.

Apparently these people are at least complacent enough to let Trump become president. And that is horrifying.

Imagine being a doctor in this scenario. You could save them. You have the tools, the capabilities, the facility. But you have to let them die or risk ruining your own life. There are no winners here.

Even if you completely disagree with his position (which I don't), you should actually want politicians like him. He's the only politician who actually and consistently really explains himself. He clearly gives you arguments pro and con, states his assumptions and conclusions. That's exactly how a leader should behave. Yet, he's getting ridiculed for exactly that.

... Because of the same guy.

He's actively sabotaging his own government and I don't even understand why. He's not gaining anything. It's not even corruption, he pissed off even the industry.

Six figures only sound good if you don't know what the costs of living are.

Essentially, you don't have much buying power so you could move somewhere else, earn less and still have a higher standard of living.

Unless you're one of the income millionaires or old money, the Valley is not a fun place. It's fueled by the ambition of young people who throw a few years away hoping for their gold rush.

... And it's completely unnecessary.

Just because a single delusional libertarian can't get his ego in check the entire country has to suffer.

It's interesting in the sense that something went catastrophically wrong here.

This isn't just a small indie dev wasting a bit of money, it's hundreds of millions set on fire by an established company in this industry.

The fact that "no one heard of it" is exactly the point. What went wrong here?

It only started this year for me (had this number for 15 years or so), and it's mostly numbers from the UK and India for some reason (I'm in Germany).

Doesn't work, unfortunately. It seems to be a 16bit app.

No, it's pretty obscure, I barely managed to find it at all.
