Tough to say, but we have a dozen restaurants in the U.S. older than 300 years, so it is plausible since we have only had the civil war on our soil in that time frame. There are multiple pubs in England that date (themselves) to 1200 years ago, too.
Maybe the distinction isn’t just “continuously running” but also under the same name and without major renovations??
A) They didn’t up the bounty for his arrest. They upped the reward for legitimate information that could be used to support having him arrested. Since Biden never gave that bounty to anyone and didn’t arrest him or request he be arrested, then that should trigger in your thinking process that there is a huge fucking difference in policy between “We are investigating whether it is legally valid to pursue narco-terrorism charges against a world leader who we think did not win a legitimate election” and “We are invading a nation to capture a person to bring to trial without showing any evidence.”
B) That link was about getting information leading to his legal arrest through international cooperation in a court system, not about unilaterally deciding to invade a country and kill a bunch of people to extract a high value target.
Russia invaded Ukraine. If Russia wants peace, then all they have to do is, you know, stop invading? That’s not really a bias statement. That’s just basic facts that have nothing to do with empire approved narratives.
Much like trusting the US with a far right person in power, why would anyone trust Russia or China with their own far right people in power? They are only trying to “support” you if you can give them something they need, and the minute you ask for anything in return, the phone doesn’t answer. This isn’t exclusive to Russia or China or the US, this just how hugely powerful entities act around much less powerful entities.
This is something that happens in beach cities in CA. People get drunk at the beach bars and then take the beach bike path home. However, those paths are used by pedestrians and other cyclists going at high speeds.
What is News about it? A private person is dating another private person. Neither are public officials, or even politically relevant anymore.
Does France not already have a giant database of citizens and various visa holders with their information and all that? Do they not give out cards to use at the doctor’s office?
What extra burden would “not giving out that card to retirement visa holders” add?
So the most informed people should not be able to make public statements because people who make policies might listen to them? That’s an insane take.
Where did I use the word “trust?” Nowhere. I said they have a well-informed opinion on the topic at hand.
Show me where he is setting military policy. I’ll wait.
Oh, hang on, he isn’t. He is making a public statement about what he thinks politicians should do based on what he observes in his daily work on the job. It’s literally the Chairman’s job to make public statements about what is best for the industry they work in and what is best for their company.
You’re right. He’s the Chairman, who in most corporations leads the hiring of the CEO. He’s actually higher up. Congrats on being technically correct.
The Chairman or CEO or whatever of a major defense corporation has a vested stake in what things might affect the defense industry and very likely has a team of people informing him of what is going on geopolitically. This person is someone who probably knows more than you on things like this, so maybe listening to him is worthwhile. We don’t have to follow what he says, but hearing what he says is probably a good idea.
Who said anything about stock price? I sure didn’t.
Who cares what the CEO of a major Defense contractor thinks about the defense of the continent that company is located in? I’d say a lot of people.
Dmitry Peskov said: “Why is he involved in nuclear weapons?”
“Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov expressed surprise that a representative of the civil aviation industry would make such statements.”
I have to think that Peskov knows Airbus is not just a civil aviation company… He does know that Airbus is a major defense contractor, right? The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) just rebranded itself as Airbus 10 years ago. The literally make missiles. Why wouldn’t the CEO of a company that makes weapons talk about making weapons?
When I first saw signs about fly-tipping in London, my head went to cow tipping and thought, “someone would need really fast reactions to tip over a fly.”
The biggest thing I will miss when I finally move to Europe is how rarely I encounter smokers in public in the US. I can only hope Europe keeps making smoking less enticing, because it’s really jarring walking around a beautiful city and having to smell smoke everywhere outside.
2500 years ago we didn’t have computers and cell phones. We do now, and they all use gold.
My computer and my phone are preeeeeeeeeetty important to my life, though.
I would like to see the poll results after a hypothetical Frexit. As much as people bitch about how restrictive the EU is on countries and how much the bigger countries support the smaller countries, most of them forget how much of a pain in the ass it was before.
I feel like Brexiters might have a more informed opinion on the benefits of being part of the EU.
