Is there a version without the Leninist symbol that I could send to my relatives?

Term limits make sense for the highest positions that have little oversight, but implementing term limits for minor positions encourages political cronyism over technocratic experience

Oh, TIL. I'll have to check that out next time I'm in Germany.

The commenter above was comparing working environments in Trader Joe's (a US only store), Costco (majority US), and "Aldi". The logical assumption is that this comparison is with Aldi US.

It would be strange if the commenter was comparing working environments in specific store franchises across countries with completely different labor markets. Furthermore, why would they specifically compare Trader Joe's to German Aldi in North Germany?

I am certain that the above commenter was comparing Trader Joe's to Aldi Süd and specifically their US subsidiary. These two brands are not the same company, despite Aldi's naming quirk.

Is Peter Thiel actually that much of an AnCap though? the modern conservative movement doesn't actually care that much about economic liberalism.

government efficiency is when the government pays the salary of 200+ people for a chatbot toy

Thanks for the discussion and thanks for raising the issue.

Yeah, I think its a misunderstanding of European political development to think that EU governments would willingly violate their code of human rights like that.

The same anarchist argument could be made about pensions or the military, but the societal benefits of those institutions outweigh the risks of their potential corruption by autocrats.

Anarchism does have its place, and it's important that the EU weighs the risk and reward of centralized idps carefully, and doesn't blindly go for the save the children argument. The use of strict age verification probably isn't worth the risk outside of extreme risks to children's health, like pornography, gambling, and drugs. That is something that the European Commission themselves have said too. Stuff that completely misses that balance like Chat Control needs to die.

Aldi US stores are owned by Aldi Süd, which is different from the Aldi Nord that owns trader Joe's. You can see it in the logo that Aldi US stores use.

The funny thing is that the DSA explicitly protects citizens' free speech on internet platforms. You know, the whole thing that was conservatives' #1 issue when it came to digital policy?

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it; if fighting will not result in victory, then you must not fight even at the ruler's bidding.

A divided, unorganized Left cannot possibly hope to win against the fascist party and large militarized institutions corrupted by fascism, the Left needs to organize first.

Actually a fun fact there, they're both owned by different Aldis.

[Aldi] was split into two separate groups in 1960 that later became Aldi Nord (initially Northern West Germany), headquartered in Essen, and Aldi Süd (initially Southern West Germany), headquartered in neighbouring Mülheim

The brothers split the company in 1960, reportedly over a dispute about whether they should sell cigarettes. Karl believed they would attract shoplifters, while his brother, Theo, did not. This led to Theo running Aldi Nord and Karl running Aldi Süd.[22]

in 1976, Aldi Süd opened its first store in the United States in Iowa,[a][29][30] and, in 1979, Aldi Nord acquired Trader Joe's.[19]
