Other than seizing assets in the US, as someone else mentioned, there are methods for international collections.

It’s a very different case, but if you go read the website of the CJIB, the Dutch Central Fine Collection Agency, they say that if you are a foreigner who gets a speeding ticket in the Netherlands, and you don’t pay expecting to avoid being charged as you don’t have any financial presence there, they will just go to Belgium as they own SWIFT, and quite literally just debit your bank account in your country directly without needing the consent of any other party, including you, your bank or your country.

Similarly, remember the Kim Dotcom case, where the guy expected to avoid the RIAA by doing his piracy in a country where it was technically legal, and the FBI still raided his home in a way that was technically massively illegal?

When there is a will, there is a way. On the other hand, the US does not like to bother corps though.

Fair enough, I just wanted to say that I meant no insult to the good people of Haarlem.

That sounds like buying women with extra steps.

That’s the thing, it’s Congress being a limp dick that forces the Fed to fight inflation with rate raises that inevitable ends hurting workers.

If the inflation induced by the monopolization of key industries and pure greed would have been addressed by legislative action restoring the free market and clawing back windfall profits through smart taxation, people would be better off and would not be looking to elect a fascist.

The “Fed only has this one tool” situation is a false dilemma. Inflation is not the root problem, the oligarchy is.

Sorry, I think it might have been something lost in translation, I was trying to say “settlement located close by and heavily influenced by another much bigger settlement”. I don’t know a better word for it.

Wait until they figure it out that Harlem is named after the Amsterdam suburb, since New York was originally New Amsterdam.

That’s a map of the NL, is it not?

Thank fuck tho, it will keep electric waste down, and I feel we are starting to figure out you don’t need to spec your game to the newest graphics card for it to be fun.

Their margins are very high on some items compared to the ingredients, their costs are more dominated by other factors like wages and the costs for the location.

What the hell is a debate supposed to be if not partisan? It’s about the parties running is it not?

Not really, in most countries I lived in, there have been more heads of state murdered than one can remember, while something like Sandy Hook would have a national day of remembrance.

I looked it up in the meantime, apparently it’s standard Republican Senate fuckery if someone else is reading this.

The Postmaster General gets elected by the nine-member Board of Governors, that the President selects and the Senate confirms the members of. Obama nominated at least five people, the Senate confirmed none of them, and since terms were for seven years, the Board lost quorum, and delegated its powers to a Temporary Emergency Committee.

After Trump got elected, he nominated and the Senate confirmed eight people over his term. This gave the board a 5 member Republican majority, the legal maximum, but the Dem minority was also somewhat made up of Trump appointees.

Biden so far could appoint two people with Senate confirmation. Replacing DeJoy needs five.

It’s a historic railroad bridge that has not been used for a while, steel construction, and it has been taken apart and put together many times before, sometimes for maintenance. IIRC the current mayor promised the people not to do it again, and then came Bezos, and then they didn’t take it apart, they installed the yacht’s masts downstream instead.

This is the bridge in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Hef

The Trump/Biden Post Office under DeJoy

That’s the claim being made.

Could Biden have ousted DeJoy by now? Honest question, I really don’t know the specifics.

He learned his lesson /s

Cali is a hit or miss, the Cali privacy reg has been so watered down compared to the GDPR it feels like the ad industry got it in to prevent future harsher regulations.

How can this GaaS thing be sooo profitable and also such bad press that even mentioning it results in a “sorry we didn’t mean that” article?

They don’t give out taste or dignity along with every vagina.

I guess my point is that a (leftist) person is smart and pragmatic, but (leftist) people are impulsive and stupid.

God I hope the US gets its head out its ass and flushes that orange turd.

It seems the EU is moving on this issue with their usual tectonic speed.

Let’s hope they also hit with their usual tectonic force.
