The crown jewels are state-owned and might as well be part of the UK’s gold reserves worth 30 billion. Given the historical, cultural, and symbolic value, I’d say they should dip into the gold reserves first to solve homelessness and fund the NHS.
You can certainly have a debate about where some of those rocks came from and their ongoing possession by the UK tho!
“Information wants to be free…” No! Not like that!! 😫
Not anymore, it runs off AI. All you have to do is feed the data centers catastrophic amounts of fresh water.
Fuck Trump. That being said, you ARE actually making this up. From the article, they’re revoking the co-owner’s wife’s I-130 because they don’t have proof they lived together while married. The co-owner has not been deported and he has not lost his green card.
-edit- There is a notice from one company issuing a lawsuit saying he was detained and had his green card revoked (June 9). He was released on bond on July 7, i.e. not deported thus far. Green card status unconfirmed.

If you’re out of the loop, I found this article fairly helpful for a primer on the issues. It’s CNN, but I can’t be arsed to find a more kosher source.

Life is hard and complex. Be kind.
Humans generally choose and behave based on how we feel. That’s neither good nor bad, it’s what we are–emotional beings.
The risks of social interaction is often the cost of meaningfulness.
Sorry, what do developers abandoning large housing projects have to do with longevity of train infrastructure?
It’s been 16 years and counting.
Perhaps, neither of us seem to have statistics here so it’s a little moot. But I was talking more about my impression of Lemmy, the scope of OP’s question, rather than the internet at large. I’d be curious to hear your alternative explanation tho!
Yes, that is the implication I was making to answer the original question. The majority of content here is in English–>the majority of English-first users are from the US–>this is why Lemmy seems so US-centric.
I was being a little obtuse because it’s like a French-filtered user asking why social media seems so France-centric even though there’s lots of social media in Africa–there are other languages that people use that you’re not necessarily seeing on your feed.
Maybe it has to do with your language settings as well? I imagine filtering out English will make your experience much less US-centric.

That’s… What an AI generated review is.
If budget is the top of your list, EVs currently have high depreciation. You can easily find 2-year old EVs with low mileage for 50% off MSRP.
I didn’t say it’s the same system, there are several different ways and degrees in which modern slavery exists. Trapping and exploiting migrant/seasonal workers is another popular one. Modern slavery exists from the US to Brazil, China/central Asia, Russia, Türkiye, even in parts of western Europe you’ll find it in smaller or less obvious amounts.
Well, the US did have the slate truck coming up for really barebones options… But tariffs ruined that for now. Some of the lower budget Korean EVs have limited/optional connectivity.
There is plenty of modern slave labor and exploitation going around. No major manufacutring nation is innocent.
$25 a week on groceries in 1997 is around $50 today based on currency inflation, not even accounting for purchasing power. That could easily make the difference between a nutritious diet and one that leads to chronic health conditions for people living paycheck to paycheck. In 1997, the average weekly expenditure on food per person in the US was $34. You could probably have survived off of $15/wk for food back then and maybe find an extra 2-3hr of minimum wage to meet your $25 investment, but it wouldn’t have been pretty.
Fun fact, a $25 steak today in the US cost about $8.50 in 1997.
I believe the regalia is state-owned, unless you have a source for your claim?
