Yup, this is on him. Ignoring the warning signs for all those years, especially this last half year, has come back to haunt him.

Why weren’t they banned?

This to me seems just a setup to have a good excuse later on when implementing Draconian surveillance measures.

No worries, I was also going back that far by referencing operation paperclip. Which coincidentally also shows the dominance doesn’t have to come from the exporting side.

Europe started that trend though.

Also in Brussels, Flanders minister orders government employees to come back into the office more often.

What one level of power giveth, another taketh away.

With digital labels, the displayed price and the register price will always line up.

How though, when it changes between you grabbing it off the shelf and scanning it at the register?

Weird, Meloni wants to reform the judiciary and is on the actual list. PM from Belgium, in the same EU fraction, wants to reform the judiciary in the same manner, but is only on the ‘sliders’ list.

I see they left the most interesting part for the end:

The proposal does not extend to private or closed online groups. However, the cabinet has indicated it intends to explore that possibility in the future.

The actual report

Democracy™ since 1789

“Diplomat”, such bullshit. He’s one of the main capitalists of Belgium, has many official honors, and even more scandals to his name. There is zero chance he will face any form of sentence.

Seconded, came here to suggest exactly this. Do prefer syncthing over their built-in cloud sync, as the former is much more dependable.

As one cannot force a worldview onto others, the only way to make sure no nazi gets in a position of power again seems to be to remove positions of power.

The best time to get out was last year. The next best time is now.

Are these sentences slaps on the wrist or proper ones similar to those for regular people?

I remember the whole show about Sarkozy in France: after the full 20 days in jail he was back to chilling poolside at one of his mansions with an ankle monitor.

Urdangarin:

In June 2018 he was sentenced to 5 years and 10 months in prison; he was initially imprisoned in Ávila, but as of 2021 he was on supervised release.

Pantoja:

She only served around 15 months

Muñoz:

After nearly two years behind bars he was released from prison in 2008 but was arrested again in 2013 for other offenses related to Operation Malaya.[4] Due to poor health stemming from his having diabetes mellitus type 1 he was in a less restricted degree of incarceration since May 2016

Right. Seems the same protocol there: convict them for their most minimal crime, do a show stint in a prison. Or allow them “exile” in Dubai like that king. This is not the same justice system as the plebeian one.

Luz, that coat cost more than your house! Oh, that’s how we joke. She doesn’t even have a house.

I love Lucille :D

Good luck finding anyone willing to take that bet.

Wouldn’t Arrested Development fit in here too?
