European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen revealed her top team Tuesday, appointing French candidate Stéphane Séjourné to the powerful post of executive vice president overseeing industrial strategy. Von der Leyen also raised eyebrows with her decision to name Italy's Raffaele Fitto, a member of Giorgia Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy party, as one of the commission's six vice-presidents.

Why is an article discussing children's welfare down-voted to oblivion? I don't think that's how down-votes are supposed to be used. However, I put it as NSFW because I knew it would be sensitive and I wanted to give fair warning.

It's a sensitive subject that's hard to talk about. Humility and compassion, as well as a will to listen to understand, is needed by everyone involved.

What I found most interesting about that case is she was arguing that Christianity was homophobic and got the Supreme Court to agree with her.

Cool, now do the rest of the religions. Is there a religion that isn't either homophobic, transphobic or misogynistic?

I think you just download 2.4.0 and then upgrade it from there.

Thanks for updating your post to make it clear that you were talking about anti EU sentiment at the time. That makes it clearer, and I agree with you.

A poll from 2023 puts anti-EU sentiment in France (ie. Leave) at 26%. Not great, but obviously not very high. And I think a "remain" camp in France would have learned a few things from brexit.

Isn't it the republicans withholding aid to Ukraine? So bombing refineries would drive up prices, making Biden unpopular, increasing the likelihood of Trump getting elected which would make more aid even more unlikely? Or am I missing something? 🤔

Not bombing them allows Russia to make money though, so it seems both choices are bad ones here.

Thanks.

Must be exhausting dealing with these people.

The UK wasn't a founding member, unless you start counting from the Maastricht treaty, and that was really just a continuation of the others going back to about 1948.

Wth is a 1099A and 1099C? Is that supposed to mean something?

I think so too. One way to improve growth would be to align with the EU to facilitate trade. The EU being the biggest and closest market. That goes very much against the sovereignty argument though, as it would mean following EU rules without any say in them.

Yeah, I'm not too keen on a military career.
