lol and his soft stance on Brexit was part of why pundits said Corbyn lost. Talking out both sides of their mouths. Party full of fuckin' snakes.

He's better than Sanders, especially on foreign policy.

Yeah it was just that simple. He wasn't being smeared as an anti-semite constantly by both the right wing of his own party and the British media. None of that ever happened.

The researchers conclude that the EU should use its strong bargaining power due to the single market to induce the Chinese government to abandon the most harmful subsidies.

This is their advice? Make the technology for the green transition more expensive rather than enact your own subsidies?

Capitalists are going to burn this planet.

China's road infrastructure is all much newer than most other developed nations. And since it was built later I imagine the materials and civil engineering undergirding them is better.

However, the bill always comes due eventually for reinforced concrete. It's currently coming due in most of the west now from all the freeway building that happened in the 50s.

China still has a long time til they're in the same place, and it will be interesting to see if they learned the lessons of not deferring maintenance.

What's needed here is to sell off the lamp posts to a private corporation and then to rent them back from that same company!

As someone who views prison as rehabilitative and not punitive, I could not disagree more.

Whether the road space is dedicated to cars or bikes, it's still dedicated to people.
