It’s the same crisis, in various stages of escalation. The rich are squeezing more and more of the lower and middle class all over the world, and there is almost nothing left to squeeze.

The next few years will bring a massive collapse in government services (the USA is starting) for ordinary people, because that is one of the last things that the rich can still squeeze out.

After that, there will be only the ultra rich and the destitute poor left; and the ultra rich will only be able to take from each other.

This will mean war, and they will send you all into it.

Unless we stop it now. Tax the rich.

I am. Wow… I bet I am not the only one.

You guys really both siding this shit again?

Important update: the right wing / conservative migration plan lost its vote in the parliament.

Gotta admit this is some great popcorn stuff. If it wasn’t so serious.

You misunderstand, that’s exactly the point. Giving you something to talk about, while rights are eroded elsewhere.

I get the sentiment, who doesn’t want to dunk on Google?

But the headline is needlessly inflammatory. There is no law yet; and google essentially is saying please please don’t implement it, it totally doesn’t make sense.

Don’t get me wrong, the EU should still implement it. And once it is law; Google will also comply.

From the paper:

The very high concentrations of PFHxA readily extractable from the surfaces of fluoroelastomer watch bands, together with the current limited knowledge on the dermal absorption of PFHxA, demonstrate the need for more comprehensive exposure studies of PFHxA.

So it sounds more like it’s unclear for now. But probably best to about these bands either way.

Have owned one for 2 years. I have made precisely one trip where I was mildly inconvenienced by having to charge one times too many. (That trip was >700km long).

All of the other times it has been amazing. Don’t overthink it too much, really. Just look at all the electric car owners out there - there’s enough of them and as far as I know no one is complaining.

Go for it.
