Very well explained.

There was and is a reason for that 1st amendment...
Luckily at the time there was a majority for it.

Oof!
You are right on a few points and miserably off on most.
Germany's strength has been and are it's good engineers, less their politicians.
Engineers have a habit of straight reasoning which might end in black and white thinking.
I am very familiar with Germany and find many of these black and white 'solutions' utterly stupid, like when in traffic and giving the stinky to another driver can and sometimes will be prosecuted as defamation.
In other words, although they understand free speech some consider it dangerous.

I just saw on TV how that fire in France is moving.
There was a fair sized tree just at the edge of the fire and once it reached it it took only seconds for the whole tree to go up in flames.
Yeah right, manage the forests by cleaning the ground.
On the other hand, when you thin the forest so trees are several hundred feet apart and you lay cement between them your system might work.
But then don't call it a forest.

If you'd be up to date you would know various studies have pointed out this cleaning of a forest does not work.
Additionally, just imagine doing this on millions of acres of wilderness.

So true, but don't tell his supporters :)

A tariff would help, I mean, Trump suggested it would work against the Canadian wild fires.

Hmm, I live 6 meters (about 20 feet) below sea level, it's never been a problem.
But we started the protection work a while ago.

Fair competition is when you follow the same rules as others have to follow.
Clearly Google did not do this.
If the USofA was a decent consumer oriented country it would have similar rules and laws.
But as long as 1/3 of the US voting population can give an idiot like Trump the highest office of the land we should be weary.

Because the US government does not control its companies Trump feels the EU can't do it either.

Indeed, only a third of the US voted for Trump.

Don't forget GPS.

Doesn't IT keep the back ups or do they also use old fashioned notebooks and pens?

What a load of BS.
"It is about when social media can access our children."

Interesting and sad.
