Do the democrats actually have anyone worth putting up instead of Biden? Like what's the alternatives?
Surely they must have at least one young guy from Texas that wears a cowboy hat or something.
Well some I agree with strongly. Other stuff you have just completely made up. Were you get your info from Facebook?
Yes so we agree. Wages need to be increased and the best way to do that is to stop businesses undercutting wages by hiring cheap foreign labour. Demand for labour goes up and with it wages.
Inflation is largely a global issue.
Are you saying they magically become different people once they are in the country?
A country can choose to let that person in or not.
There is a big difference between tax cuts in general and tax cuts on the poorest people in society.
But I agree. Tax cuts across the board are a bad thing usually but I can see why people vote for that. People feel they need more money and it's not coming from wage increase.
Exactly. That's what's happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.
This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn't not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.
You don't need a wall. Just don't let people in.
It's not fear mongering if it is already happened and people can see first hand the impacts. That's why people vote the way they do they see the reality of the situation and the current parties are telling them things that are lies.
Well done France. This is democracy in action. Ignore the people and tell them what they want, they will just find someone that will listen to them.
All the left/centrist parties in the world just need to look at Denmark and the far right will go away within one election cycle.
Tax in francs starts at €10,778.
You think anyone under 30 that earns more than €10,778 is rich. Come on.
I think helping everyday working class people is a good thing. That's what they want.
Sure if you want to help businesses fuck the common people. Keep wages low and prices high and keep the upper class rich.
Most people don't think like that though.
They are their policies. People vote for policies. Um that's how politics works.
Those policies seem to me something that would attract people. They currently have the largest amount of votes. So if people are voting for the parties policies what are they voting on? Their favourite party colour?
Young people are more likely to go into debt at the start of their lives. Whether it be for things like rent, buying a car, buying a house, education.
If taxes are lower they can either have more savings or pay of debt faster.
Come on it's not that hard to realise more take home means you have more money. Christ this website is so financially illiterate.
Lol the absolute delusion of the far left.
That wasn't an idea. That was a question you imbecile. Currently that exists and I'm asking you why you think that is?
It's exactly the same people use your demographic to project things about you. It's not a new concept. Nevermind you aren't worth talking to.
Poland's a great country. I went there and loved it way more than I thought I would. Lovely people, lovely culture, lovely country. Wages going up every year. They seem on a good path.
Why don't they just let anyone in they? Why have rules on which people are allowed to immigrate and which aren't?
Yea. You hope that the more centrist parties look at what the population are desperate for and will do anything for. And then you hope democracy works and people get to vote for that they believe is right. Hopefully that happens in conjunction with sane and stable leaders listen to the demands of the people.
Currently large amount of the people feel ignored or certain issues and feel only the fair right is listening to them. If they had anyone else to vote for I'm sure they would.
Well lots of countries have immigration requirements or points based systems. So it is obvious that countries already use means to choose which immigrants it wants.
This just needs expansion. You look at immigrants or children of immigrants that commit more crime than locals or contribute less than locals and you don't bring them in. Because bringing them in makes the country worse.
It's obviously an average but that is all immigration requirements are.
According to the BBC
Alongside policies for giving French citizens “national preference” for jobs and housing, they want to cut VAT on energy and allow under-30s to escape income tax.
existing promises on immigration, crime and insecurity as well as tax cuts to tackle the cost-of-living crisis.
plans to abolish droit du sol, the right to automatic French citizenship for children born to foreign parents
Sounds like some good policies no wonder they are getting loads of votes. The reduction in taxes always comes back to bite you and that's probably a mistake but the lower tax for the youth allowing them to get started in life instead of being in debt is a great idea. I haven't heard anyone have such a progressive idea.
How Quantum Dots Could Change the Future of Solar
"Quantum dot technology has been in TVs for years, so why isn’t it already in solar panels? Well, there are a few challenges. If we can engineer around these challenges, then these little devices could have a BIG impact - breaking the limits of our current solar panels, and ushering in a new and radically more efficient age of solar energy."
Plaid Cymru's manifesto calls for the Welsh Parliament to have more funding for public transport.
"Wales needs more funding and "economic fairness" from Westminster, Plaid Cymru has said ahead of its general election manifesto launch later.
Party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth said the general election was "about one thing - the economy".
He said Labour did not offer "meaningful change" after 14 years of "Tory cuts and chaos".
Plaid's manifesto, which is being launched in Cardiff, calls for the Welsh Parliament to have more power over natural resources and funding for public transport."

Report says humans may be on brink of cutting fossil fuel generation, even as demand for electricity rises
>Renewable energy accounted for more than 30% of the world’s electricity for the first time last year following a rapid rise in wind and solar power, according to new figures.
>A report on the global power system has found that the world may be on the brink of driving down fossil fuel generation, even as overall demand for electricity continues to rise.
Robert Jenrick leads calls for cap on new arrivals amid drop in GDP per person
> Analysis of Home Office data showed the impact of the shift from EU to non-EU migrants. Migrants from the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey aged 25-64 were almost twice as likely to be economically inactive as someone born in the UK.
> Spanish migrants typically earned around 40pc more than migrants from Pakistan or Bangladesh, while migrants from countries such as Canada, Singapore and Australia paid between four and nine times as much income tax as migrants from Somalia or Pakistan.
How do I get spell correction for Android? [Solved]
I suck at spelling and would like to know a word I have typed is wrong or not. Ideally with a red underline.
I really struggle looking at text I have written and seeing the mistakes. I have tried Samsung, openboard, gboard. None seem to fix the issue.
I'm willing to download anything as long as it's not a privacy concern. Is there any way to get what I want.
I have a Samsung 22+ if that makes a difference

The MoD says the RAF will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of its jets in the Middle East.
"In a statement, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Royal Air Force (RAF) will repel "any airborne attacks within range" of operations in the region.
It is understood RAF jets have flown over Iraq and Syria, not Israel.
PM Rishi Sunak condemned Iran's "reckless attack", pledging the UK would "continue to stand up for Israel's security". "
Sir Keir Starmer reiterates Labour's commitment to the UK having nuclear weapons to "keep Britain safe".
A Labour government would aim to increase defence spending to 2.5% of GDP "as soon as resources allow", Sir Keir Starmer has said.
The Labour leader also told the i newspaper he would conduct a strategic review of defence and security "to be clear what the priorities are".
Sir Keir's aim matches that of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, who has also said he wants defence spending to rise to 2.5%
Brussels’ new probe into Chinese wind turbines comes as Beijing grabs dominance over global market for solar panels.

Today’s playbook on wind turbines is indeed “all too familiar” to European policymakers, said one EU diplomat, who was granted anonymity to discuss the imminent policy announcement.
The US government has directed unprecedented sums of money at green energy projects.
"Signed into law by President Biden in August 2022, the IRA, along with the so-called Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) enacted in November 2021, are intended, amongst other things, to funnel billions of federal dollars into developing clean energy.
The aim is to lower greenhouse gas emissions, and incentivise private investment, to encourage the growth of green industries and jobs: a new foundation for the US economy.
With a 10-year lifespan, and a cost originally estimated at $391bn (£310bn) but now predicted to reach over $1tn - the final figure is unknown - the IRA offers new and juicer tax credits, as well as loans and loan guarantees for the deployment of emissions reducing technology."
China is adding more coal capacity, but its plants are running less often.
Some analysts think that China’s coal emissions have already peaked – or will peak in the next few years. We’ll have to wait and see if they’re right. But the fact that they can even suggest that a peak in coal use is coming, while China is adding more coal plants, seems contradictory.
Both points can be true, though. China could build more plants while burning less coal. It just has to run them less often. Based on data over the last decade or two, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is set to discuss industrial overcapacity with top Chinese officials during her trip to China on Wednesday.
Solar panels — 80% of which are made in China — are so cheap that they're now being used to line garden fences in Germany and the Netherlands, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
