Haha wow. Thanks!

Does anyone have a link to that picture? I can’t find it anywhere.

Weimer ein Interesse an irgendeiner Kunst oder Geist zu unterstellen, wäre spekulativ.

Schnell, wo ist die Brandsalbe?

Yes, but mostly PoC so far, from what I read.

My friends are going there in June. They had booked the trip before Trump was even elected They have little kids and look as Aryan as it gets so they should be fine. But honestly in their place I would still seriously consider cancelling.

Das setzt dem Fass die Krone auf.

I honestly, literally believe that Trump still doesn’t know what a tariff is.

Pardon my Fr*nch

I do some volunteer work in a non-profit that operates globally. We hold an annual team meetup in changing locations. In the past few years we did Canada and several European cities. For a while now, the plan had been to hold 2025’s meetup in the US as we have several team members from there. But as it stands, we’ll choose a different location because too many team members have said they’re not comfortable travelling to the US under the current administration.

We’re talking some 20-30 people not travelling to the US and spending money there. Obviously a small number but as you said, it adds up.

I still can’t fathom that the US has a guy who eats roadkill and had a brainworm - the two of which might be connected - as their secretary of health.

Stellt sich bestimmt später heraus, dass das wieder nur ein Löwe ist.

I mean I guess there’s a non-negligible chance of her hitting a double fault…

Isn’t this also mostly about shipping routed which are expected to open up more and more due to climate change?

I remember this from back then. The cool thing is, it looks like the author has been keeping it updated!

Sure, I agree with you. Although I have to say that personally, I believe the US isn’t coming back from this any time soon, if ever. I say this because in my opinion the causes that led to the (repeated) Trump presidency (e.g. a terrible election system, money in politics, a culture of turning everything into a show, a deeply ingrained skepticism towards knowledge and science in large parts of the population, extremist capitalism etc.) go much deeper than just these past ~10 years. And I see no willingness and/or capability on the side of the opposition to really tackle any of these factors at the root.

That was an understandable reaction for 2016 to 2020. But not anymore.

Auf Nimmerwiedersehen, hoffentlich.

I’m convinced these events will permanently change the role of the US in the world. I checked all of Germany’s major newspapers (progressive and conservative) and they all agree that Europe can’t rely on the US anymore and will have to fend for itself and/or find new partners. I don’t doubt it’s the same in other major European countries. This might well be the start of the end of US hegemony. I sure hope that whatever new world order we move into isn’t worse than the one we had, and that the changes go over without additional war.
