Not sure, he grew up doing CX. I reckon he will do Loenhout at least next year. Just for the fun, adoration and make the rest remember he is still king.

I always felt that the EU was the only way to stand up to global companies, US tech and oligarchs. Sadly the right wing money convinced the UK electorate otherwise and a Brexit means the UK is alone and squeezed by all.

I keep mine because somehow I have gotten in the habit of cooking the FT magazine recipe of the week. The crab 🦀 pie last week was ok but not my best.

TNT sports in the UK is showing adverts about how China rescued Japanese orphans in WW2. They really spend money and go all out to improve China’s image in the west. Big media companies seem happy to take that money.

Europeans are so spoiled with an easy life style. They don’t see the long term thread of the big powers slowly undermining our society and standard of living. Get serious and move armies into western Ukraine to allow their army to move east.

Not just disconnect from US military. Same for tech. It’s just mad that Europe has allowed large parts of its money to disappear into the hands of a few US billionaires.

I am still in touch with a US IT guy i worked with in 1990s. He has gone full MAGA whilst posting all his European cruise trips on FB. The MAGA crowd thinks they have a god given right to dominate the world with Europe just a national park / museum for them to spend their pension plans on.

More in my case as after IR35 enforcement I also pay the employer NI. I just take more holiday and don’t do overtime as no incentive to work more.

I find it “annoying” when over 80s give their opinion to / about under 40s. Their view of the world was formed at a time that’s so different than ours that i am not sure their opinion counts. That’s one issue when people live for 4 generations.

Could be worse. He is also threatening to take the UK BBC to court for 1bn USD in damages because it exercised a right to free speech.

The US was able to build such a huge tech industry part because of innovation and culture, but also in a large part because of access to huge USD liquidity. They chose to invest that in tech rather than renewables, affordable electric cars and more labour intensive industries.

I always feel a bit “annoyed” with over the top remembrance day events in the UK. My great uncle died in forced labour working in a Dutch shipyard. He was completely forgotten and never really mentioned in the family. The winners write history and get the grand remembrance.

Maybe Europe should be more assertive towards “owning” Greenland and invest to get access to the rare earths.

I never understand why the ISA limit needs to be 20k per year. We have comfortable middle class salaries but struggle to save anywhere near that limit.

Yes, SAP would probably object to an EU initiative to create a competitor and if it comes off the ground you then need 100s of app providers to port or certify their software to run on it.

I work on a project that is critical to UK infrastructure / security. We use AWS cloud which, as a European, I thought was mad from day 1. Issue is that a lot of application software is only certified to run on some cloud systems. US tech has created partnerships that are a monopoly now.

The UK 🇬🇧 prime minister is the PM of all citizens and is meant to protect and look after all people despite representing one party. Your system of partisan and tribal politics just looks a recipe for civil war.

All this because a few billionaires thought the best return on investment is in AI, plus it would allow them and US tech to have control over society. Over a trillion dollars that could have been invested in renewables to lessen climate change.
