Smart people don’t sell stocks and shares when markets crash. They buy instead.

That’s the dumbest advice ever! That’s how you lose all your money. Recession is the perfect time to buy even more stocks and shares. Don’t get out, get in!

You can’t say anything is 100% with a chaotic and erratic president. There’s always a chance that Trump will undo everything next week and things will stabilise for a short while. That chance might be very low, but it effectively invalidates 100% prediction.

Pretty serious. Recessions affect different layers of the economy at different times. First markets crash, but your income and job security stays the same. Then markets plateau, but workers start losing jobs. Finally, markets start to grow again, but you’re still living under the bridge.

If you’re not a billionaire, this is the best time to invest - you still have a job, but markets are going down rapidly. You won’t have cash later on.

By comparison with US in general Europe is living in communist utopia :)

That looks an awful lot like a pandemic mini crash. If you invest in ETF right now, you’ll make shit loads of money out of thin air next year.

What’s funny is that the French government is not “left-wing”.

Russia never traded much with US. So it’s business as usual.

Most electronics are imported from China, not from US. No one will be sending iPhones from China to US and then to the rest of the world.

And that’s how you end up in Guantanamo.

Trade IS happening with Russia. Only specific companies and industries are sanctioned, everything else is business as usual.

Sanctions doesn’t mean you can’t trade with a sanctioned country. The US never stopped trading with Russia.

People like eating shit and drinking piss. Every fermented food and drink, be it bread or beer, is full of bacteria and yeast shit and piss. Somehow humans find microbe excrements very tasty.

I’m a software dev in Europe for over 20 years, worked in different European countries, had loads of male, female, gay and lesbian colleagues. Zero transes.

Just like Lemmy admins do!

The Kremlin is confident that they will kill as many protesters as will be required to destroy any uprising.

That’s just a software feature, not a real neutral.

You can’t freewheel on EV, there’s no mechanism for that. You can have a software simulation though, but it’s not needed for anything.

They can flood the Baltics with drones and cause plenty of chaos and destruction.

It seems to me that you don’t understand how EVs work. They don’t have gears (usually) and they don’t have a constantly running combustion engine.

Neutral and park (park is just neutral with a break automatically applied) do not exist in EVs, because EVs don’t have a constantly running engine. You only need neutral to disengage the clutch to prevent its wear during stops, because always running engine means that the car is always moving. That’s not happening in EVs.

And you don’t need low/boost because EVs don’t have gears.

So, you only have reverse and drive.
