    I understand that there is double standard, but you miss out an important factor why the response is different: those missiles work by a different method.

    You can see this in action, when Iran shoot their ICBMs some weeks ago, the reaction was similar like Israel’s bombings. I have a feeling, that if Israel would nuke Gaza, the reaction of the international community would be much more harsh, but I don’t want to give them tips.

    I can see this meme is coming from the american teenagers’ instance, so I know they deliberately misunderstood this.

    The most communist part is that the whole process is fully managed by the government tax office, not some 3rd party private company.

    The not communist part is that it takes unbelievable amount of corruption to program and maintain these services under the hood. They figured out that it’s hard to measure how much human work needed to develop such a thing, so they can just invoice whatever unbelievable amount they want. American companies help with that as well. Windows and Office license for state offices 3-4 times higher than the normal price for consumers, because for some reason they can’t buy it directly from Microsoft, they have to buy from local appointed dealers… Actually MS was fined for this for USD 8.7 Million, the local party in one of this deal was promoted to higher government position afterwards.

    So actually this doesn’t exist for making the peasant’s life easier, just to have jobs to steal from… It’s just accidental that our small life becomes a bit less miserable during the process.


  • I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

    • I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
    • After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
    • If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

    That’s all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.







  • What do you mean, what is the point of your comment?

    Thank you for finally replying my question. Not everyone living in amerika, and we don’t know who said something about USSA being “too big”? I have no idea who said that because you are paraphrasing something from your US based bubble. Do we have US defaultism here on lemmy?

    What is even USSA, I thought you mistyped USSR… There are a lot of tankies here, I thought we are debating about the Soviet Union again.

    Oh and your comparison, it seems my reply was correct. The US grid is by far “bigger” than this former SU grid, but not in geometrical mean,




  • The part about the texas crisis made me think it’s about why the USA is not a single grid, while Europe is one.

    Iirc one big reason made the crisis that severe was their grid is separate, so they couldn’t buy electricity from other states.

    Also if that’s the case than using screenshots from that webside is quite misleading. That site uses live data, so if the 2 screenshots were taken at the same time, one of the continents was at night, so solar panels were not working… An avarege or aggregate map should be used, not live data
