And again, if it is about status:

"The number of American men with small penises who will buy these gas guzzlers isn't enough to support the automobile industry."

Most of those top brands only exist because some millionaire and ditactors with small dicks want to impress others some other way, so they can sell a car 100x or more times the price of a normal car and sell 5 to 10 cars... but that is enough for them to survive...
For example, Libia Gaddafi family had a extensive collection of supercars before the regime fall

yes, when i want it, i go do a kart race or go to a off-road track in own track rented cards... no need to own one, use one for every day city traffic and i don't need to drive like a dick in normal roads.
Is like owning a ferrari or some top cars.. awesome, but too expensive, too useless for every day usage, it is all about status

>This board includes their biggest enemies - Turkey and Qatar,

Sure, sure, that is why Israel and USA are bombing Turkey and Qatar right now, to protect Israel!! They send money and weapons to destroy Israel, sure they are the enemy!!

When someone wants to be blind, there is no way to can make him see!

Turkey, while talking about protecting the Palestinians, actually still sell goods to Israel, money talks and turkey leaders are actually very corrupt
Qatar (plus UAE and Saudi Arabia) have deep pockets and care little about the Palestinians, they just don't want too much noise as it drops their investments... they can complain a little, just to not look bad to their (and other countries) muslins population

>relocate the Palis to other Arab/muslim countries materializes, and then the strip can be occupied (after reconstruction) by people who're not into jihad and aren't trying to slaughter Israelis all the time

So relocate the Palestinians and give the land/houses to... say ... Radical jews... yes, seems totally fair!! ... ... you know who also had a similar idea around 60 years ago?! for sure it also looked fair for the ones that got new land/houses, after all, they were ALL evil, right?!

Again, go read history, you MAY learn how to avoid doing the same mistakes

the guys that get richer are in the top, everyone below will be poorer!
they are the ones that get better margins and increase their profits, for everyone else, it is just more expense in everything and causing a chain of price increases in everything that used oil...

the other guys getting richer are the EV car manufactures, that while more expensive, can get much cheaper per mile than oil cars, paying themselfs quickly

What a great idea from trump and friends... awesome for US and Israel, a high danger for everyone else.

So if it proof-of-work stable coin, it is vulnerable to the 51% attack and unless it is a huge already stablecoin (i bet it will not be), it will be easy for US+Israel take over the coin and drain whatever wallet they want. Only if they choose a big enough coin, where the 51% may be harder... but for the resources of the USA/Israel, for sure they could workaround it with some strategic temporary network cuts

If it s central controlled coin, they are already in the 51%, so they can ban, drain or filter any transaction. Even if they don't do it, they will be able to shutdown the coin and everyone in Gaza will lose all their money...

So with it, they can effectively control Gaza, it is a nuclear monetary attack!! if ever someone in Gaza discords in anything US and Israel say, they can drain their wallet

Even if i'm being paranoid... for sure someone will buy a lot of then before announcing the select coin... and sell it when the value increases... those in power will gain either way from it

so no, something that i would never trust, even the guy planing this is from Israel, everything points to a TRAP!

ps: and don't even think in the app in the phone... will have heavy tracking (not marketing, i'm talking about GPS/position track), listening to everything is said and on select phones may even explode or be a missiles beacon !!

forgot this:
remember when a country did a brexit ?!
them many EU migrants left the country... what happened next? they had major problems, even with food delivery!
they didn't had enough transporters, enough nurses, enough work force for many jobs as people left and they had no one to replace them...
they quickly created special access conditions to attract again the needed migrants, but even now they still have problems

no idea what "social networks" you read your news, but all the problems you point aren't really anything different from the last 40 years and mostly not a problem.

migrants, all countries in Europe had immigrants and emigrants indifferent times in the last century. Sure, countries with colonies had higher influx of migrants, that is the price to pay to promote trade and travel between old colonies. Either way, most migrants are welcome, they do jobs that the locals do not want anymore. long term migrants get promoted and rise in society. Most work hard and well. Sure, some places can get a bit migrant overflow, not even external migrants, inside the same country you also have migrants and they all tend to go to the biggest cities. that always cause problems but is not just because international migrants.

Losing free speech, no idea what you are talking about, we can say whatever we want... sure, we should not burn a Koran or Bible, it is called self control and respect by others, but most place do not forbid it. Most that did that is to try to control provocations by radical right wind people

The very fact that we can read the trash that is incoming from the USA social networks prove we have freedom... most people know how horrible most of it is, but hey, we also have some that believe it and that is how some radical right wind politics are rising popularity.

anyway, just because Europe try to do good things, we must be all communist, right?!
luckily we life much better in our side of the pound than people on the other side, we have most of privacy protected, we have healthy and real food, our environment is much better, we life happier, we have much less crime and very little gun incidents, little racial problems (except when again radical right wind people show up) and even our poor aren't as poor as others

So learn how to read other news sources, you may learn a little more outside your closet

the example of XXL, can be replace by XXS too, or 49 size shoes,etc it more related to less common sizes that can be harder to estimate the numbers sold
that can also happen in to some designs that unexpectedly sell worse

but yes, new market, but that is mostly the "pass to another company", can be their own or third party

Comment Re:What do they want them to do instead? (Score 5, Informative) 111

this isn't even that, it is really unsold, QA approved clothes (not saying good quality because that will widely depend of each brand)
say a XXL dress wasn't sold, they will not keep it in stock for ever, it waste space, require accounting and DB sku, all that have a cost that may be in the end higher than the product itself... So right now they destroy it to clean up.

What they must do now is either drop the price a lot, pass it to another company (that will again sell if a much lower price, even if it may require removing the brand) or donate it

Not to call you stupid, but you are stupid if you point any laser to a plane, specially at night!! During the day, there isn't much issue but during the night can be very dangerous.
Even weak lasers can travel far, and during the night, our eyes open more to receive more light and see. The fact that a weak can reach the plane and light it enough to cause temporary blindness to pilots, that guess, need their eyes to read all the info and control the plane.

If the plane is high enough, usually isn't much a issue, pilots can recover and the laser may be weak enough by the distance, but during landing and take off this is extremely dangerous. And notice that Landing and Take off isn't just a few meter of the ground, it is until you reach a high enough altitude and speed, so may high enough that some people think it is ok to play. FAA bans the lasers this exactly because of all the variables, starting by the laser power to the altitude and direction of the plane, there are so many things that you have to account for a normal person to even notice. So it is much simpler and safer to ban at all times. Yet there are more and more people doing this joke.

The same with drones, at high altitudes can be a problem, but during take off or landing, they can extremely dangerous... but some people think it is fine to "take a picture"

That will be the workaround, send 100 balloons and one drone with drugs... while everyone is looking high to the balloons, send the drone low and no one will notice! :D

Or send the drone attached to the balloon, only after it pops (ie: taken down), it will be activated after a few seconds and fly away
