What do you think the solution is for the growing number of people who aren't in work?

I suppose that BBC report could be wrong, but I think the BBC are usually pretty accurate, so it could well be an accurate report. It looks like the US, UK, and Australian governments believed that the report was accurate.

Tsai, who left office in January, added: “A Ukrainian victory will serve as the most effective deterrent to future aggression.” This suggests Tsai believes that US military support for Kyiv... would help deter China from a cross-strait attack.

I've never banned anybody for saying their view, and I don't think I'd support someone being banned for saying their view, as long as they're being respectful, and as long as they're not advocating anything criminal.

Personally I would like to be able to talk to people with different views, in a civil manner. But Lemmy.ml doesn't seem to want that. If you post something that they don't like (even if it's a very moderate view and is expressed in a completely civil way) then they ban you. They seem to really hate moderate people.

Do you agree with Merkel that Brexit was a "humiliation" for the EU?

I'm not sure if I would use that word, but I wonder what other people think.
