I don’t really disagree, but it does make me wonder what the future of the right to asylum will look like if the lesson becomes “temporary asylum seekers will never go home, and you won’t be allowed to force them because they’ve put down too many roots”

I worry that the backlash against this stuff is going to ensure that we’re unable to help future waves of asylum seekers, which are certainly going to be coming.

Good! Fuck Washington.

Merz is a pig and a populist who is flailing about looking for distractions, but it’s also frustrating how much discussion on this stuff turns to left-wing people reflexively defending and making excuses for something that most people can clearly see is a problem in modern European cities, and that problem is coming from predominantly young, poor, male, muslim migrants in parts of cities that are quickly becoming ghettoized.

Often people will just say that European chirstians have a horrible history of abuse towards women, which is of course 100% true, but also not really relevant when the question is “do we want to let in more of these people into the country, or less?”

You’re a lost cause anyways. We’re talking about saner countries.

Makes sense. PV is dirt cheap with or without subsidies, and there’s already so much solar generation that every mildly sunny day produces so much solar that the electricity prices swing to zero before spiking back up when the sun goes down.

If subsidy money is going to be spent, it should be spent on things that people wouldn’t do without a subsidy, and is productive for the grid. In this case, I think if anything for small, residential homes is going to be subsidized, it should be home batteries.
