In democracies, you sometimes can see authoritarians being elected. Current situation in the USA is one example.

You have much better (concrete) examples in South and Centeral America, e.g. Venezuela & Nicaragua, but there are plenty of others.

Not really. The US situation is engineered so only two parties ever get in, and are practically impossible to remove. Wait several years and the other lot will get in.

Even with Trump we see a lot of policies and directions that the Democrats have pursued previously.

Turn time wheel? How do you know in advance how long you stay? Where I live, you start and when you leave, you click stop. You also get reminders in case you forgot to stop.

Not GP, but I guess I'm using the same app. You guess (and then it gives you the price up front). 10 minutes before it expires it asks you if you want to extend it. There might also have been a detect if you drive away and stop feature (don't recall).

Mostly these days all paid parking has registration camera's, and it just starts and stops parking for you automatically. However, there are like 3 or so apps that compete here so you need a profile with all of them for this to work and you also need to enable this on all the apps.

There is no way this is not a degradation compared to a physical meter accepting cash plus whatever. My country doesn't really have parking apps yet here and paying for parking is never a friction.

Well you can extend the parking time while not at your car. That is a big plus.

Or just pay whetever's due when you return to exit. Having to schedule and reschedule sounds unnecessary to begin with.

You can only do that at a dedicated and fenced of garage or parking lot. You can't do that at the curb in the inner city. You have to pay upfront.

Without the app you have to find the meter, pay, print the receipt and get back to your car to put in in the window. Remember the time and get back.

With the app you can just start walking towards your destination while you start the metering.

What’s the alternative?

WTO says US gave illegal aid to Boeing

Is this a new way for Russia to undermine the West?

Nice, especially the last one

appreciate it :)

You would think the Danish are smarter than this.

The Danes are smart, but history have repeatedly proven that people are deceptive, even the seemingly trustworthy ones that hands out promises for votes.

Denmark is the embassy of American NSA in Europe.

Europeans don't get to blame the US for this. Chat Control is being widely pushed. The Europeans get to take responsibility for their own authoritarianism.

The ruling elites on both sides of the Atlantic have been pushing for something like this for a long time now. It's not an either-or - they are mutually reinforcing.

They have used Palantir for years. There is that.

They are, for themselves. They’re probably leveraging this juicy Palantir contract to get the US to lift their boot off Greenland.

The Nobel Peace Prize, which he really wanted, isn't a priority anymore, is it?

‘War Is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery. Ignorance Is Strength.’

If you look at some of the people who received the Nobel Peace Prize, you can’t fault him for thinking he should get one too.

I think he knew it was game over when Putin told him to pound sand.

The next move is to follow the USFL and Miss USA/Miss Teen USA playbook and create his own Nobel Prize.

I used to buy fonts, but font foundries made such a mess with licensing that I only use OFL licensed fonts now.

That’s how Nordic people look like <grin>
