So, looks like we’re stuck waiting another two years ☕

Meh, all this really proves is that our people will just keep heading to Germany anyway—honestly, we don't even need the United States of America ☕

Privatize the whole thing

Let’s be honest—for most of these so-called "average Joes," what we’re actually seeing is pure, unadulterated envy.
These people don't even have the decency to identify as leftists—they don't hold any real ideological convictions whatsoever—they just harbor a deep-seated resentment toward anyone more successful than themselves. They genuinely believe it is perfectly acceptable for the government to plunder the productive members of society just to hand out handouts to them.

I honestly thought it was just some glitch with my browser😵
But look—it’s nearly 2:30 AM now and the damn thing is running perfectly
During the day, though? It is absolutely pathetic

I guess the government should probably maintain control over communications, energy, and major financial infrastructure.

Oh, give me a break. All those companies you claim are strategically vital to the state are nothing more than massive money pits—and we're all stuck footing the bill! Honestly, if you ask me, let them sell everything off.

Linda Roberts2 said:They’re basically selling out our national interests. It’s all about making concessions to certain member states, handing over generals, dealing with that humiliation in The Hague, racking up massive debt just to meet European Union standards, and enforcing all these arbitrary rules. If the European Union ever falls apart, all those concessions go down the drain, but we’ll still be stuck with the debt. p.s. I think Greece is already importing goods from Bulgaria that don't even meet European Union regulations, just because they're cheaper.

Let’s not forget the possibility of dropping lawsuits, selling off state-owned companies and natural resources, and the endless cycle of borrowing money, too. Honestly, maybe a better title would be "not if," but "when" the European Union collapses. It definitely isn't going to last forever.

For instance, look at how the UK government was branded as traitors after World War II, even though back then, trying to accommodate the Third Reich seemed perfectly normal to some.

And what exactly is wrong with the bolded part?
I am practically counting down the days until these state-run corporations are privatized—then maybe some new owners can worry about them using their own cash instead of covering massive losses with my tax dollars.

Plus, the forum layout is ridiculously wide; I can barely read half a post before having to scroll horizontally just to see the rest. It’s the exact same headache with private messages. And don't get me started on the ads—I don't even see actual advertisements, just this obnoxious blue bar flashing every time I open a thread.

Is there actually anything that can be done about this mess?

Look, you can always use the good old ctrl - trick to zoom out on the whole page. Sure, the font might end up looking a bit small, but at least you won't have to constantly fight with that horizontal scroll bar.
