History will recall this as the Trump Slump ...

Others, including populist right politicians in several of EU's own member states ...
The article's intention is good, but does anybody here know how much the EU commission or parliament can do about this, without unanimity, and without it’s own police ? Also does the ECJ have any role?

It took the EU many years to negotiate trade agreements with Canada, Brazil, etc., partly due to internal disagreements within the EU and complicated national ratification procedures. We don't have kings who can just act on their whims.
Also - it's easier to apply tariffs on physical goods, than on digital services which US exports - coordination is needed to avoid loopholes, but that's complicated, slow.
So, the ideas seem good in theory, but how could this be done fast enough ?
Meanwhile only Russia is laughing, they got their multipolar world ...

I like the haystacks. As also in alpine countries, they seem a fundamental part of the scenery. I guess they matter especially where livestock moves to mountain pastures in summer, while the hay from valley meadows gets them through the winter.
Maybe the tractor age is temporary, as smaller robots may surpass them in efficiency. So could anybody design robots to help with stacking and combing hay, if there are not enough young people to do it?

Diverse views here, even within our lemmy 'bubble', suggest it's not obvious what to do about this (and similar situation in France and other european countries). Banning either individuals or parties can set a risky precedent and does not necessarily diminish a movement. I'd rather go for gradually (but rapidly) changing norms about acceptable campaigning, propaganda, use of social media, 'fake' news (lies). That includes faster-acting legal restrictions on funding, ownership, facts/fakes, algorithms, etc.. , as well as positively strengthening alternatives like our fediverse.

Il y a nombreux années, j'ai participé au sein de ma délégation nationale aux plusieurs réunions des nations-unis (FCCC), ou je me suis toujours arrivée avec mon vélo pliant Brompton, parfois avec telles consequences sur le pantalon. J'ai noté que le chef de notre délégation regardait souvent de façon semblant un peu critique vers mon vélo et jambes. Mais enfin après quelques réunions il arrive avec un tel Brompton soi-même...

Well it's extremely predictable - only dependent on cycles of the moon (and sun). In a specific location there are slack periods every six hours or so, but the phase of the waves shifts as you move along the coast a bit (not too far, on the scale of France) so these could be smoothed out by combining power from multiple locations.

I read that you can graft apple-family fruits onto hawthorn too, has anybody here tried that?

The sequencing of events set up by trump team, getting Ukraine to agree first, benefits putin - while he delays answering he can still initiate some new offensive, but if Ukraine now makes any big surprise move that starts regaining territory, Russia can play the 'agree to ceasefire' card to stop it.

Si j'ai bien compris - on vol de la chêne, en Ardenne, pour le transporter via Belgique à destination de Chine - donc problème de coordination contre crime transfrontalier ? Mais ou sont tous ces chasseurs nationalistes, ils ne voient rien ?
