It was initially a fixed term contract to build and exploit the roads, where government had 50% stake in the company. When the contract reached its term, instead of keeping operating the roads, government sold its stake. That started a massive hike in prices, firing of thousands employees.

Yes they are a thing in France, haven't you seen young people being obssessed with their body? It seems there are more gym that boulangerie now.

They learn about it through Insta or Snapchat and take whatever is promoted by whatever big muscular guy.

It is sad to watch, but what is sader is the belief by my fellow europeans that we can continue like we do, and all will be fine. Less agriculture,less industry, less work. It's madness

Deutsche Bahn trains stop themselves all the time, no need to tell them

It's a strange situation where the far right rural nut job are more open minded than city dwellers.

Joli!

In EU, I don't think an underclass is what is wished. What we lack is being able to chose who is allowed to stay or not. Currently it's whoever manages to come illegaly is allowed to stay. It's madness

I read that ukrainian army starts enroling at 25 to 60, making it a significantly older army than russia

Using a russian swear word as name

Everyone not agreeing with you is a fascist. It's the new trick to close any discussion. Next step is to kill all fascists by the way, that's what Russia is doing right now as according to them Ukraine is fascist.
