Mullvad CEO is the primary donor to a European political party that supports "re-migration"; a far right policy ideal that is literally about sending migrants back to where they came from.

You're purposely minimizing the Mullvad CEO's actions by making an incongruent comparison.

Proton CEO made some vaguely pro-Republican (U.S) comments one time.

You know, many people groan about consumerism and advocate being a creator... but at a certain point, someone has to consume all of those creations, otherwise it's just navel-gazing slop being churned out for one's own self-satisfaction.

Is it really safe to unleash 300hp daily drivers with instant torque and significantly greater weight to the general public?

They said: "12*0.4% is 4.8%. Inflation is running at an annualised 4.8%."

This is patently wrong.

You concede that monthly inflation is volatile but then proceed to assume it is has grown uniformly and speculate that it will continue to grow uniformly? Umm...
