It's sad because it does have to be a global movement. If my country decides to heavily increase taxes on the wealthy - as should be done - this is exactly what happens because they can just easily move to Switzerland or Monaco, or some other tax haven, and laugh us right in the face. It's the genius of capitalism

It's insane how much music, art, theatre, television etc still comes out of the UK, and how little they've capitalised on it - letting the Americans take all the initiative.
I'm (relatively) happy with Deutsche Welle (dw.com) and France24 as well
I usually use Deutsche Welle actually. Generally happy with it! Also available in English, of course
Definitely seen south Italians darker than me 😂 but coupled with "exotic looks" and the ability to actually tan it's definitely plenty to produce the "terrorist look" and stand out in Scandinavia
You know the price is naturally higher when materials are ethically sourced, right? That's kinda how it works..
Brand recognition is important, but it's a dangerous game operating mostly on government subsidies. Once you have established low prices it's hard to reverse it
Do they really want me to be trapped? 😮 might go to El Salvador, but trapped?
I'm brown with a thick beard, so I'm used to being "naturally suspicious and prone to explosion" whenever I am within a 5 km distance of an airport. Yet US airports would scare the shit out of me
I don't know that they're out to make money though. A lot of the Chinese manufacturers are now struggling due to the price war they instigated themselves. Huge production surplus but they pushed down the price so much they hardly make any money
How common are these in Denmark? 😮 don't feel like I've seen one, but then again it's not like I study the make before I get in the bus
Not even sure it's that true though. Afaik BYD is only the 14th most popular car in Denmark, and European brands have risen from around ~28% last year to ~40% this year. Sure, Chinese carmakers have had some growth - but we're talking in the order of something between 2 - 4% of the market. Might be more popular in other countrues
Do you mean Greenland or did they do some deal with Iceland?
