Belgium is moving more and more to a much better place just because of regulations anyeay
Solar panels and batteries in a shit ton of homes because of energy prices and older government incentives
10000L rain water tanks because government regulations now require rainwater hookups for future toilers and washing machines plus water is expensive here
Induction stoves to not have to put extraction fans in the kitchen to the outside to boost energy EPC ratings (resale value)
We always have a bunch of potatoes and cans of tomatoes and pasta for fries, mashed potatoes, or different pastas (but maybe that is just my family)
A ton of people would be quite OK for a while here I think.
So then it comes down to whether enough military personnel will have the morals to stand up to fascist orders from the executive branch and disobey them, displaying that they are at odds, or if they will simply obey unlawful, fascist orders to not get prosecuted under the UCMJ.
Also, I would be extremely hesitant to believe that the host of pilots, mechanics, MPs, and logistics did not notice at all women and children being dragged in chains, likely crying, and if on-video behavior is anything to go by, also likely being harassed by ICE handlers and thought there was nothing wrong enough to bring it up to their COs. Cargo is quickly inspected at the very least. And the fact that they didn't have any prior clearance to land at the airport they were going to... They aren't complete idiots...
Sorry, but these things do not happen quietly. That is like saying the train drivers and the people loading them into the cars carrying the Jews only knew they were carrying "personnel, material" and happened to be going to "a labor camp".
Sorry, but it doesn't matter one. single. bit. that the US military "isn't a monolithic entity" if, when it comes down to it, they act like a monolithic entity and follow corrupt, unlawful, and treasonous orders like how the USAF has been wordlessly transporting kidnapped legal residents and greencard holders to foreign countries without any semblance of legal process or even a criminal act done.
US military personnel love saying "we don't follow unlawful orders" who have never had to make that decision until they are given an illegal order and they follow it. Just see every war that the US (and most other nations to be honest) had ever fought and what is currently going on.
It is the exact same as the argument of ACAB. If there are 50 "good" people who actively shield, enable, and do nothing about 50 "bad" people doing horrible, illegal, and/or immoral things, you have 100 bad people.
Using Thunderbird as opposed to tuta's quite barebones client:
- delayed messaging
- message scheduling
- local backup of mails
- no email import
- desktop app failures (happens quite often to me that I just can't log in)
Not to mention other external QoL functionalities like a home assistant tablet being able to display a family calendar and being able to automate based off of events
When is the last time that a non-poor has ever gotten tried and convicted for perjury?
It is the silent threat to keep poor people honest in court while allowing rich people and lawyers to lie their hearts out and use it for publicity because "they wouldn't lie under oath"

That is the lack of regulation's fault. Companies will increase prices even when costs go down because they can only see money.
Sadly, a ton of countries in the EU have very bad regulations on energy companies.
Hell, here in Belgium you pretty much have to get a 3rd party smart meter because energy companies literally try to scam you.
During the start of the Russian war with the gas crisis there. Our old energy company, Mega (www.mega.be so everyone knows which company it is), tried to charge us >3000€ extra because "increased costs that weren't factored into our monthly bill".
They lied and said that we used 99.9% of our total energy from November to December (oh just happens to be the most expensive period) that year. They literally said we used not even enough gas for a single hot shower the entire rest of the year.
When we proved to them with our smart meter records that they were straight up lying to us, they said "ooopsie poopsie, we have no way of knowing how much you use per month, it's not our fault" and still made us pay 1000€ for the increased costs from October to december even though we just caught them red handed in an illegal scam.
