  1. If they've bought wood from your specific area is a open question. But that they buy illegally cut wood at all is unacceptable...

  2. The youtube channel "Institute of world politics did a video on migration breaking it down by gender. Immigrants from many countries is heavily skewed to one gender or the other, yet it averages out to be pretty even. What that mean is that these immigrants can't have children with their own ethnic group and have to do so with locals. In the case of male immigrants that's often unlikely, so while females from those groups might have more children then the ones from the local population the ethnic group as a whole will actually shrink. When the numbers are heavily skewed towards female immigrants it tends to lead to mixed children familiar with and integrated into the local culture. In either case the number of immigrants of the original culture and ethnicity shrinks. And the local population gets enriched by more outside impulses...

  3. Great video, no comment on the latest submarine dispute though?

  4. 3 000 € limit sounds fair. It's enough to cover day to day needs for most people while being limited enough to reduce the potential of abuse. 500 € is just ridiculous and would keep kill all adoption. A limit of 3 000€ gives people options while also maintaining the old physical money economy.

  5. Excuse me, but that map leaves out about half of Europe. The geographic term includes western Russia as well as parts of the states in the caucasus. And also a number of islands in the Atlantic ocean. The midpoint of Europe geographically is in one of the Baltic countries, Lithuania or Latvia I think... When identifying as "European" that's what counts.

  6. While some road investments are clearly needed the bulk of EU funding should ideally be used on the railways... Separate out the maintenance and running of the actual tracks themselves to a separate company that should be state funded with EU support renting out services to private railways and optionally public ones too. Perhaps require the operation of passenger lines of a certain quality and times in return for access to the lines for goods traffic if that's legal? Romanias position should make it possible to be a key port for trade into Europe if infrastructure investments are made, and that could fund more infrastructure. After all, sailing from Sues to a port in Romania is faster then going to say Rotterdam and then shipping by train into the continent.

  7. Eh, talking about Austria as if they're the only profitable night train operators is just nonsense, we've had night trains in Norway gor decades and they're not only profitable but so in demand that the sleeping cabin tickets are regularly sold out.

  8. 1:10 That map is just wrong. Denmark and Sweden joined the union at the same time.

  9.  @sandercohen5543  True to some degree. But there's a number of reasons why that's not enough. Sometimes companies misbehave and there's no way for a country to do anything about it as a goverment. That's why we forced Wizz Air out of Norway through boycotts for instance... And the Danes managed to bring McDonalds ro heel with strikes, not laws.
