They have a couple of months (2? 6?) to comply, otherwise they get additional fines.

The Biden administration did a lot of student debt relief.

But in the end that doesn't matter is the media isn't willing to talk about that. And people keep listening to those media.

Remember age didn't matter anymore once Biden dropped out? If the NYT hammered Trump the same way they did Biden, the outcome would be different.

Harris promised raising the minimum wage and down payment support for first-time buyers.

Americans (with the help of the media) are just plain stupid and vote against their own interests.

Iran have helped the US in Afghanistan, do you consider them a NATO ally?

Just like surrounding, the meaning of ally needs changing to accommodate one's world view.

Maté, the self-declared non-expert on Russia or Ukraine[1], still spouting nonsense about Russia. You'd be foolish to believe anything this mouthpiece of the Syrian government says.

Surrounding seems to have gotten a new meaning: just being somewhere in the vicinity.

And Kazakhstan. And Mongolia. And North Korea. And Belarus.

They might exist, but for now the proof-of-work coins still consume unhealthy amounts of energy.

It's rather pointless to point out that other things exist besides the thing being criticized.

"Murder is bad". "Yes, but food sharing exists".

I'm sure it can be done for a lot less.

Commodities are more than energy. Yes, the EU plans to stop using Russian oil and gas, but that's not the same as sanctions.
