Several science fiction writers predicted that east and west becoming more and more like each other 75 years ago. James Blish and Jerry Pournelle both come to mind.
The very (false, but that's besides the point) narrative that "you can shit on christians all day long", "but not some other religions" is literal and fundamental example of identity politics.
So is shitting on Christians but not other religions.
One side being wrong doesn't mean the other (or any) side is right. A pox on all their houses.
We die laughing.
Other sources provide other numbers, and you've agreed it's significantly lower. Which supports my original statement: Europe is not known for encouraging widespread ownership of automobiles.

(One line that we cancelled that had been out of contract for a long, long time was running over $2,000/month for a single POTS line. Yes, really. Even the guy at AT&T that took the cancellation order was shocked.)
Can DeBeers enter now?
There was some kind of settlement a few years back.
Can't say I celebrated it either.
And they're processing transactions through EU banks. Don't want to follow EU law? Then you don't get to collect EU money. Half a dozen phone calls, and Ali isn't doing business in the EU at all.
It is better to travel hopefully than to fly Continental.
