Even Stephen is impressed by the kind of #Monster, #DonaldTrump appeals to be sometimes. As an #Author , who is always interested in #complex #Characters, he surely has an #Interest, how #DonaldTrump is ticking. #Truth is often #stranger than #Fiction and he may ask himself, that it would be #mandatory, to have invented a Character like Trump, if he wasn't already #existing.

@tinker I do point these things out to folks from the #USA as well as tools to calculate their actual net payout (i.e. https://nettolohn.de for #Germany) as well as the fact that most things here are #mandatory, not "#perks" like #AffordableHealthcare, #PTO / #PaidVacationLeave, #PaidSickLeave, #PensionFunds, etc. and that these are 100% #transferable across employers and not tied to a specific employment. (I.e. your remaining PTO does transfer!)

• OFC employers may offer benefits on top of that like a company car they can use as an individual (tho they'd have to pay tax on that -> #NotTaxAdvice / #NotFinancialAdvice!), or subsidized #PublicTransport tickets or just terms that are better than the legally mandated minimums.

Granted, #CostOfLiving in the #USA have gone so absurdly high and #wages have stagnated so hard that >50% of the people there literally can't afford to survive there!

@burger_jaap the fact that there isn't #mandatory #Transparency like with #Gasoline #Prices (which have to be reported to @BMWK and @Kartellamt@social.bund.de) is a problem.

• Given the #EnergyDensity, this makes having or driving a #BEV even more expensive if one doesn't have a #Wallbox (i.e. being a #tennant with no parking space that is allowed to have that as per fire code)...

@cdarwin I know that the #US embassy dared that shite in #Berlin and I'm not shure if @AuswaertigesAmt made it clear to them that "#DEI" isn't a #choice but #mandatory and that if they were a domestic business they'd be facing @antidiskriminierung 's wraith!

• In the end they can try that shit but that'll get their utilities canceled and the building condemned because having no running drinking water, heating and power makes it unfit for housing and business and having no fire insurance is illegal and buildings without will be forcibly closed by the fire inspector until reinsured and reinspected.

• Same for their cars: No insurance = Not allowed to drive on German roads!

@jack_daniel going from ashy to classy is a process #mandatory renaissance fair

@RickiTarr shit like this is why I think #vaccinations should be made #mandatory, cuz there's a 0,25% chance said child will die from #SSPE which tends to have an incubation period of 5-10+ years.

@itsfoss yes, but only if they remove #cyberfacist, make it #FLOSS, #mandatory and choose #KISS over optics.

This is a very blatant #clickbait and common #misconception:

• Salaries ain't worse but what people call "#perks" in the #USA is basically #mandatory in the #EU.

Simple things like:

• paid sick leave
• paid vacation leave
• paid parental (!!!) (not just maternal) leave
• healthcare insurance

• pension / retirement plan
  ...

• In the #US, gross salaries are only higher because it's WAY MORE EXPENSIVE to get the same "perks", because #ForProfitHealthcare exists and noone gets paid vacay per law, so everyone has to cut that.

#Solidarity-based systems make things way cheaper, and people won't demand 6-digit salaries when they have to spend like 10% of their salary just to downpay a #car in a #CarCentric #suburban shithole but have excellent #PublicTransport at affordable rates right at their doorstep!

Leavitt: Trump 'Advocate' For 'Free, Fair Press': VIDEO - Comic Sands

#Project2025 is a proposal written by fmr & likely future leaders of #Trump’s admin designed to lurch the country to the #FarRight. It calls for making #ReproductiveCare — particularly #abortion pills — harder to get, eliminating the #Education Dept, shuttering the government’s #hurricane forecasting agency, building #ConcentrationCamps to detain #children & #families at the #border, banning #transgender people from the military, & potentially requiring #mandatory #military service.

It's made clear there aren't any #mandatory #Covid #rules. Many people have inadequate or no #sickpay. Many don't believe it's serious. Most don't believe they will suffer long-term consequences of #Covid19. Almost nobody can be bothered to protect the #vulnerable.
More than anything in my over 60 years, the #pandemic has demonstrated the true nature of people, #employers & #Government. #COVIDisAirborne #longcovid is prolific & the #virus damages #organs.

#Starmer should consider replacing #WesStreeting given his view that #forced #medical #treatment is acceptable. To even #voice it indicates a poor understanding of the #history of mass non-medical decisions without #patient #inclusion.
It's not clear if he'd make it #mandatory but the mere suggestion is #offensive & potentially #dangerous.
Refusal of #care is a basic #ethical #principles of #medicine.

According to Chris Titus (over at ChrisTitusTech.com ) #Microsoft #Recall is #mandatory for #24H2 installs. Seems like he and his team at #MicroWin have figured out how to rip part of it out (see the YT vid below) but most users won't know this is an option. Much less how to turn it off.

But hey, at least your anti-cheat games will work on #Windows. 🫠

I think #ToolFree #RemoveableBatteries should be made #mandatory per law as a matter of #FireSafety, #ConsumerProtection and #EnvoirmentalProtection.

• Every #GluedInBattery is #AntiRepairDesign aimed at a #ReducedLifecycle and should be prosecuted as #EnvoirmentalCrime!

@adamshostack And now you know why my current car doesn't even have a remote to open / close it's doors/windows!

• Because this level of #Enshittification is how we end up with #OwnStar and other #Exploits that SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE TO BEGIN WITH! But hey thanks to @EUCommission we'll now have #mandatory #Govware #Backdoors with #OTA #Updates for #Cars in the #EU, enshuring that - [besides the whole mandatory #tracker aka. #eCall #Spyware] I'll never ever buy or drive a car made after 2016.
