What's up with world? I've seen that there are a lot of complaints going on about it, but what is the underlying problem?

The point is, class war is simpler. Let's say income taxes doubled, while capital gains become completely untaxed. Are you sad or happy? That's your class sympathies.

I don't think it's the water supply, more likely that being part of an organisation that trains you to take lives devalues said lives for you. Also, military training is effectively inflicting trauma on you, and forcing you to adopt doing disciplined soldier stuff as a coping strategy. You know, the whole break down and build it back up thing.

No. Trickle-down economics is the theory that deregulation and business-friendly laws result in more successful businesses who can pay their employees better. What it forgets is on one side, who are paying for those businesses to get successful, and that businesses in general are interested in low wages above all.

This would be "job creation" at best, with the G4S shareholders getting most of the spend, the actual security guards are underpaid peons like us.

However, it would at least show and remind the leeches every day that they have something to fear.

Also, security details can be great at their job, but a lot of it is theatre, and even a determined lone assailant can get very far. And they only have to win once, the security detail has to win every day.

Trump was almost killed despite the USSS, JFK was also shot way back when. Is G4S better than the USSS?

"The union made non-negotiable demands far in excess of what can be accepted if we are to remain competitive as a business,"

My dude, you literally have no competition! Your management bankrupted them by doing the same shit there that you are doing here! You know, before you all managed to fail upwards.

If you manage to be insolvent while running one of the largest monopolies on the planet, you should get checked out by a doctor, because it takes more than either base grade stupid or base grade malicious to be able to do that.

Also, isn't the whole reason Boeing is in hot water since they can't build shit right the fact they tried to fuck over the unionized workforce by building another factory in the Deep South, but the shit that comes out of there is falling apart? Seems to me, they need the union, not the other way around.

I just want to point out the irony that the UK is being fussy about a piece of their history being moved out of their country.

At this point, using Firefox and an ad blocker does more for the climate than paper straws or recycling.

Even with ad blocking, half of consumer internet traffic is ads. Google is contributing to increasing this ratio, where most traffic on the internet will be stuff the client did not request, contributing more to climate change than Bitcoin - not that this makes crypto look better, they are just a useful milestone to compare to with the press they get.

And this doesn't include the idiotic AI shit they do.

Questions remain over the benefits of similar actions, aside from shock value and forcing parts of Russian troops to bolster their defences by moving troops from elsewhere.

Aside from that, sure. I wonder why Euronews would be against Ukraine retaliating against Russia, other then the fact that it has been bought by an Orban linked company las year.
