I hope they won't make a permanent except though, at some point we will need China and the US to move in the same direction if we want to actually make a difference. But at least China is going all-in on EV and solar power technology.

Thought it would be interesting to compare with EU, they published an article in 2023 (https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?oldid=630784) with the following data. This graph uses a number per 1 million inhabitants so divide by 10 to compare it.
Wrote this comment in another post with this graph. In the worst country in Europe the number might be 3 times lower than the worst state.

Basically they’re hijacking some of the democratic mechanisms of the EU to their advantage.
More people should be aware this happens and Apple isn't the only one playing this game.
The most common cause of death from treatable diseases and conditions was ischaemic heart disease with 77 704 deaths (17.9 per 100 000 inhabitants), followed by colorectal cancer with 57 476 (13.2 per 100 000 inhabitants) and breast cancer in women with 40 970 (9.5 per 100 000 inhabitants) deaths.
For preventable diseases, the most common causes of death were lung cancer with 136 199 (31.2 per 100 000 inhabitants), ischaemic heart disease with 77 704 deaths (17.9 per 100 000 inhabitants) and COVID-19 with 71 919 deaths (16.6 per 100 000 inhabitants).
In 2022, the number of deaths from avoidable diseases varied significantly across the EU. Latvia recorded the highest rate with 543.3 avoidable deaths per 100 000 inhabitants, including 200.7 from treatable and 342.6 from preventable conditions and diseases. Romania had 519.3 avoidable deaths per 100 000 (215.0 treatable and 304.3 preventable), while Hungary recorded 511.8 (178.4 treatable and 333.4 preventable).
The lowest rates of avoidable deaths were registered in Sweden with 169.3 per 100 000 (59.2 treatable and 110.2 preventable), Italy with 176.7 (63.5 treatable and 113.3 preventable), and Luxembourg with 180.2 (60.4 treatable and 119.8 preventable).
Roughly 525 vs 175 per 100 000, that is a difference of 300%. In Latvia 3 times more people die from treatable and preventable diseases then people in Sweden do.
I hope EU doesn't only put policies in place to equal out the economic proposition of individuals, but also their acces to good healthcare (including healthcare aimed at prevention). I knew there still is a significant gap between the richest and poorest member states when it comes to average income but didn't realise how big this gap was when it comes to health.
Austrians have poured scorn on far-right MPs for topping the list of highest earners in the country’s parliament, accusing the purported champions of the working class of hypocrisy over their lucrative side hustles.
A report based on mandatory income declarations for 2024 revealed this week that MPs from the anti-immigration Freedom party (FPÖ), which came in first in the September general election, to be cashing in most with supplementary earnings.
The data shows that seven FPÖ MPs were paid more than €12,000 (£10,400) a month, primarily as notaries, lawyers and business executives, on top of their parliamentary salary of about €10,000.
Germany's interior minister is calling for direct talks to deport Afghan migrants who were convicted of crimes.
Isn't there something like equal laws = equal punishment for breaking them?
Might be, ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp both have clusters of heavy industries and they are green while parts further inland aren't. Another reason the quality of air is not by pollution but by methane from farm animals? Not a lot of those in London either. What confuses me too is that the scale is 'U.S. air quality' I mean wtf is that?
Had to shoot it sadly.
For a good reason, right? Right?
Helemaal waar, en toch ben ik positief verrast.
The wheel? My jet doesn't need wheels, probably.
You'd need a new jet after every landing. And also look for some very slippery surface everytime you want to take off withthat new jet. My advice would be to only use your yachts and have your underlings carry you over land.
Fucking lettuce.
