Badeendje , an Europe in One in fifteen European companies face restructuring pressure
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

Not enough profitability. This whole private equity infinite growth needs to slow the fuck down.

Extreme drought makes the issue worse, when the surface is too dry it does not absorb water quickly, meaning you get more runoff. If feels counter intuitive, but it's true.

You might have noticed this when watering a completely dried out plant. The water stays on the surface of the soil longer.

Fixing these kinds of issues are massive undertakings. First you need to check the whole path and start in specific places, because if you start in the wrong place you move the issue to another point where the potential for disaster might be even bigger.

For example, the water level before a dyked area is raised allowing water to pass over a natural barrier and flood an entire valley. Or you move the issue downstream and flood larger areas. When dealing with nature, you are dealing with massive forces.

The Dutch Duke system is a product of hundreds of years of development, and in some cases costly trial and error.

Yeah good point. In the transsiberia express they have 1st class, 2 person compartments with beds and also 4 person compartments with bunkbeds as 2nd class and 3rd class is an open wagon filled with 3 story bunkbeds.

Just put less rows of seats and have them properly recline. Some people will want small rooms, but cheap sleeper seats help as well. People sleep in planes too.

Well, Stalin died of old age in his dacha at 73... Putin is 71...

Dutch tv had a whole documentary on how pfas contaminated soil is mixed with other soils and then dumped in artificial ponds or lakes we created winning sand.

The production of Zyklon B was not enough of a crime against humanity huh.

But the company will undoubtedly spin off another company and divest from the chemical in question.

Oh great. And in a decade they will tell us that the company that made it already knew for 3 decades how horrible it was.

Badeendje , an Europe in Western businesses backtrack on their Russia exit plans
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

And their assets will be seized by the government.

But it important to keep repeating .. companies are not moral. They are profit driven, cost externalizing entities. If you want or need them to do something for the public good.. you legislate them.

One thing Russia understands better than the western world. It might be a dog and pony show, but they don't ask nicely. When dealing with companies, that is the only way.

Badeendje , an Europe in Poland to limit movement of Russian diplomats on its territory due to Moscow's involvement in hybrid war against the EU
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

This needs to be done by the EU in general.

Badeendje , an Europe in NATO’s boss wants to free Ukraine to strike hard inside Russia
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

I'd say that this restriction should be removed. If you want to impose a restriction, restrict it to valid military targets... But this is kinda redundant. Ukranians are not in the habit of targeting schools, hospitals, post offices, more schools and hospitals, DIY centers, coffee houses and other civic centers.

Badeendje , an Europe in Putin’s designs on a Baltic island are leading Sweden to prepare for war, researcher says
@Badeendje@lemmy.world avatar

Seems like a no-brainer to turn it into an untakable fortress and unsinkable aircraft carrier.

It's not like it is densely populated or a tourist hotspot.

Fair enough, I was just referencing how they then talked about people with A low IQ.
