What are you arguing here exactly? Are you saying that $5000 are negligible to parents?

What's your definition of "works" in this context then?

I think you're confused - seems like you think that a public place is your private space. Public space is a place where people need to consider OTHER people. You just proved OPs point.

Person A: "I wish we could have some oranges".

You: "well we can't, because strawberries are not in season right now".

He was referring to why the government doesn't want to nationalise the water companies - call the police and block the executives as in this story.

I wish there was a community for Warhammer Fantasy Role Play (WFRP). Discovered it few years ago and really love the system and the lore is both gritty and ridiculous-over-the-top-fun.

Exhibit A The problem is that China and the US have about half of the world's wealth. The EU (plus uk and other EEA) control another quarter. So as annoying as it is, the EU can either negotiate with one country (USA/China) or 160+ (the rest of the world) to achieve the same financial gain. Of course economics are not everything, but when you understand the picture above, you can start seeing the problem.

Can you explain what you mean please.

No need to nitpick because you're comparing apples to oranges, so I'm trying to understand what you even mean by social security and pensions. All the EEA countries provide free or accessible health care and state pensions by the state and/or military. And the reason why you're statement doesn't compute for me is because a lot of the "big ones + scandinavia" are conscription countries that provide everything while you're in service and you would get military pension if you decide to stay in the army professionally after your mandatory time is over.

When you say "Europeans don't" which country are you referring to exactly?

Probably wrong use of terminology, but I'm almost certain that they've meant plan B in case one cloud provider goes down.
