Comment All Trump's fault (Score -1, Troll) 402

The French should never have elected Trump president of France.

Either that or it's just a super-contagious virus and humans can only be pushed to isolate from each other for so long until we don't always succeed at it any more. And cold weather forces us indoors and leads to spreading the virus. And lack of Vitamin-D from less sun exposure makes us more vulnerable.

But I'm pretty sure Trump is President of France.

Understand that the only fact in the article is that Google pays Apple to be the default search on iPhone. You probably already knew that.

The problem is Google's control of the ad business leads to a situation where no one can have a comparable offering for search and for video content creators. Everyone else gets cents for every dollar Google gets.

The solution is to force the Google monopoly to either divest the advertising business or to offer everyone else the same access to sell and implement advertising on Google platforms as Google has. On exactly the same terms.

They can do their own thing or be a monopoly, but not both.

(And no, the extremely tired arguments about the technical definition of a monopoly do not matter at all. You're not convincing anyone. You're just making noise.)

Comment Thanks (Score 1, Funny) 165

What do you guys do to thank your European overlords when they permit you to continue to communicate the way you're used to? Is there some sort of gratitude ritual that humble subjects perform? Such benevolent understanding from your majestic rulers can't be allowed to pass by without acknowledgement, can it?

Obsessed haters change the subject of any conversation to the race or ethnicity or religion or whatever group is the focus of their hatred and obsession.

That's why Europe's Covid cases will never matter. It's not about Covid at all, it's about them fighting their mental issues to see whether their obsession finally takes them down into full-blown insanity.
