I am looking for a married woman, cheated on and disappointed, who has the desire to take revenge on her husband and sell his car for a symbolic price. I pay in cash.

How I look as I welcome Neptune into Aries tonight 👇

Leaving the Pisces era of "victimhood", 14 years where everyone was a victim or pretended to be a victim, and entering the era of "hero of your own story".

Good question

A chicken once lived for 18 months without a head. Mike the chicken's incredible feat was recorded back in the 1940s in the USA. He survived as his jugular vein and most of his brainstem were left mostly intact, ensuring just enough brain function remained for survival. In the majority of cases, a headless chicken dies in a matter of minutes.

While the European Commission is bragging about its alleged resistance to the US administration through a media funded by our tax money, behind closed doors it is preparing concessions that could ultimately have a positive impact on Europeans - lower taxes and less regulation.

The European Union is preparing a list of concessions it could offer the administration of former President Donald Trump in the hope of securing a partial lifting of US tariffs that have already begun to affect European exports - and are expected to rise after April 2.

According to sources familiar with the discussions, EU officials were told during meetings in Washington this week that there was no way to avoid a new round of auto and so-called reciprocal tariffs that would be implemented next week. At the same time, early talks have begun on what a possible deal to reduce the measures might look like.

In response, the European Commission - which oversees trade policy for the EU - has begun drafting a draft for a potential agreement. The document would list areas open to negotiation, including reducing EU tariffs, joint ventures with the US and potentially easing some regulations and standards.

Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs, which he announced next week, are designed to counter what Trump sees as unfair practices, including not only tariffs on US goods but also non-tariff barriers such as EU regulations, tax collection systems and levies such as VAT, digital services tax and regulation.

VAT is a neutral, non-discriminatory tax that applies equally to imported and domestic goods, but the US president sees it as a barrier to US exports because it raises the price of goods.

After a colossal defeat, the FDP is looking for new leadership, a new program and new policies to regain the trust of old voters and win over new ones. And a deep ideological divide between at least two fractions has become apparent. First, the social liberals, who call themselves "Liberals for Progress", published a public letter criticising the party's former leadership for focusing too much on the economy and silencing dissent. Now the other side, the economic and conservative liberals, has published a paper exploring the reasons for the defeat. They understand that participating in a traffic light (Ampel) coalition in which there could be neither real government nor real opposition was disastrous. They agree with the first trend that "social liberalism is at least as important as economic liberalism" and that the party will pay more attention to it in the future, but that "this does not mean that it will take common positions with the Greens and the SPD".

The likely future leader of the party is Christian Dürr, a moderate classical liberal who will be able to reconcile all factions.

TODAY'S HEADLINE FROM THE MEDIA:

"POLAND HAS DECIDED:

ENOUGH WAITING, WE'RE GETTING EVERYONE ON THEIR FEET, A RUSSIAN ATTACK IS JUST A MATTER OF A FEW MONTHS AWAY."

A similar headline for Estonia before that.

Macron shares instructions in the event of a nuclear war.

Who realistic and normal can believe that such a danger really exists from Russia???

Anyone with any logic is aware of the background story of the war in Ukraine in which, as always, innocent people are suffering due to corporate games.

European bureaucrats, raised by their families to rule and do nothing, are protecting their asses through crises and, worst of all, scaring the people and taking the right to decide for everyone.

They did the same during the pandemic and no one paid for it, so why should they hesitate this time.

They hired the same journalistic "experts" and analysts to create collective hysteria and "twitch the bear" if it doesn't work, they can always attack themselves, at least in that the secret services have experience to throw through numerous terrorist attacks, threats and "introduction of democracy".

Create a problem...

Offer a solution....

It has always worked, only today in the time of information poisoning it is faster and more efficient because we live in the illusion that we are informed and in fact we are being led.

At the same time, we pay for everything and give up our freedom.

A perfect match for assholes who make money on the crisis and the solution.

A good photographer is worth his weight in gold...it's not the camera that matters, it's the talent that counts

People are often unaware of one fact: the balance of power is changing. What seems powerful and untouchable today can very quickly become irrelevant and powerless.

For decades, Europe has been encouraged by the US not to invest in defense because it suited America. But this same Europe can become a more powerful military power than the US within 5 to 10 years. We are numerically stronger, and we will not lag behind economically for long. When the EU changes its priorities and when European countries start investing seriously in defense, everything will change.

With policies like those that Trump likes, the US will lose its importance, and the EU could take over its previous role in every respect.

I know that now, from today's perspective, this seems ridiculous to many, but 5 years ago it seemed ridiculous when I said that lockdowns and Covid measures would one day become an embarrassment to those who advocated them and that life would return to normal.

The only thing we can always bet on: no force is eternal, the balance of power and strength will change.

One of the most important things for leading a meaningful and happy life is building your own little world, one that does not depend too much on the big world that surrounds us and whose internal interpersonal relationships are not based on the positive or negative opinions of voices from the outside world.

That is why family is the foundation of everything, and if we fail in all other areas, but are good parents, husbands, and a support for everyone within our closest community, then our life has not been a failure.

The same is true vice versa, because there is no business or political success or social recognition that can replace or somehow remove the disappointment of those to whom we are most important.

Ambitions are healthy, as long as, after their fulfillment, children are not left to fend for themselves, families forgotten, and homes empty.

No battle or war is more important to an individual than the fight he or she leads for the future, health, and peace of his or her family.

The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, defines its role in international relations as shaping development policy and providing assistance to national governments. The commission should also acknowledge the role it plays in antagonizing US corporations on the world stage.

The Commission’s Directorate-General for Competition is responsible for assessing mergers, prohibiting collusion and monitoring abuses of dominant market positions. Such abuses, in the Commission’s eyes, include “imposing unfair purchase or selling prices, limiting production, markets or technical development, and applying dissimilar conditions to equivalent transactions.” On this last ground alone, the Commission has brought at least five major lawsuits against US companies during the administration of President Joe Biden.

Meta was fined more than $817 million in November 2024 for bundling Facebook and its Facebook Marketplace. In March, Apple was fined about $1.84 billion for preventing music streaming app developers from informing iPhone users about cheaper streaming services on the App Store. (Spotify, not Apple Music, accounts for 56 percent of the European music streaming market.) Intel was fined $384 million for conditional rebates and restrictions related to the sale of computers with x86 CPUs in September 2023.

In July 2024, Apple was forced to share its mobile wallet technology with competitors, with a fine of 5 percent of its daily revenue for each day of non-compliance. Amazon faced a fine of up to 10 percent of the company’s annual revenue for using non-public data for its retail business two years earlier. The EU’s General Court recently overturned a $1.53 billion fine that the Commission imposed on Google for “anti-competitively favoring” its own ad exchange.

This non-exhaustive list excludes active investigations against US companies, such as the one against Microsoft for bundling Teams and Office 365. It also excludes those lawsuits against US tech companies under the General Data Protection Regulation, such as the $324 million fine Uber suffered in August 2024 for allegedly transferring personal data of European drivers to the US without sufficient protection.

The expropriation of billions of dollars from US companies is harmful and capricious. EU citizens benefit from the US tech sector; the capital drain from US tech companies leaves them with less money for research and development, preventing further innovation. The EU should stop penalizing US companies that outperform their European counterparts.
