Just about everything about the onion-domed Russian Orthodox church near the otherwise unassuming Swedish city of Vasteras seems odd: its close proximity to the airport, its taller-than-planned spire, and its elusive priest allegedly commended by the Kremlin’s foreign spy agency, SVR. Swedish intelligence services think so too, and have warned that Moscow is likely using it as a platform for espionage and other hostile hybrid activities potentially threatening Sweden’s national security.

Thank you. I love Switzerland, but they (you) benefit massively from the EU, as does all member states. Pretending otherwise it's just dumb.

We stand together or we get eaten by the US or China. Simple as.

What do you mean with "... let their economy be too dependent on EU labour and interconnected with EU"?

A large company with deep pockets, with the ability to influence politics, so yes, I'd say it does matter.

 

France has struggled to kick its smoking habit. A new public health decree published Saturday aims to change that. In the coming days, smoking will be banned in all French parks and sports venues, at beaches and bus stops, in a perimeter around all schools, and anywhere children could gather in public.

The living standard is also much higher now. More people expecting more help from the state with more complex problems. Let's for example take a premature baby that would have died 20 years ago can now be saved and can live a long life, but needing 24x7 care by medical staff. Or the fact that our parents and grandparents live longer, but care and medicine cost a lot more.

I'm not disputing that the top takes too much, but the standard of care, medicine and other things cost too.

She did give away a lot of money to charity. About 16% of her wealth when she became a billionaire iirc. Gave to help children in poverty and to fight the disease MS.

I don't know much about her stance on trans people other than she seems to believe that there is a difference between trans and biological women. Feel free to drop a good link where I can educate myself.

Anyway, reading comments here make it sound like she's a modern day Hitler that's never done anything good in her life, and that sounds both unfair and untrue.

Huh? You've posted one article and a few comments are a bit weird, so now you're leaving?

Is this your first day on the Internet?

It was a good link, keep going. We need more people posting about economy matters.

What happened to "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"?

Anyone should feel free to appropriate my culture at any time. This American culture war is so strange to outsiders.
