They should demand removal of algorithmic amplification, not only for X, but for all of them.
Invisible and impossible to prove manipulation of public opinion by deranged private party, under influence of another country.
How is that reasonable setup for EU?

They should use the opportunity to shut it down.
Now, X is just an AI powered propaganda machine. Letting it be in EU is just going to amplify shift to the right (or: wherever Musk chooses).
Either non-moderated feed content or ban. Let’s not pretend this is about free speech.

cities. Cities can’t solve a state housing crisis or pay any group of employees 3x as there is no budget.
Ergo, cities do the right thing here.
If I would change anything, I would let teachers buy it with a rent to buy model.

They pay teachers decently, compared to teacher salaries elsewhere.
The housing cost is out of whack even for two tech jobs in a household as one is competing with people loaded with tech stocks. No salary-only can compete there.
Mind you, the housing in question here is built and paid for by

Just documenting the right gained by birth is not an application.
With an US birth certificate I am not sure if one needs to ‘apply’, but in any case that is not the process Austrian law is after.
Not a legal advice obviously, but I was told the same by an immigration lawyer in Austria.

reapplied for Turkish citizenship and stripped them of Austrian one now without even a visa, those people had to leave the country.
So they thought, let’s catch them early and came with the time of application rule.
It’s all just racism and populism. No Austrian interests here.

after naturalization give up Turkish citizenship as required. Few years later, reapply for Turkish citizenship without notifying the Austrian authorities.
So, at the time the populist Austrian government wanted to kick those people out and saw an opportunity. They got the list of people who

Correct. As long as one does not *apply*. Getting dual is very hard though.
Logic is as following:
Austria imported a lot of unqualified labor in the 70’s, mostly from Turkey.
After 10y in country, those people were eligible for Austrian citizenship. So what they did is, apply for Austrian,

- As per law, one loses Austrian citizenship in the moment of *application* for another one: meaning per definition one is stateless for at least a while, maybe forever.
- Austria cannot fill qualified immigrants quota for years now, as anybody with brains goes somewhere else.

That is an effort to stop immigrants applying for US citizenship as many go back for retirement.
Austria did the same years ago, fueled by populism and in order to get rid of Turkish immigrants who had dual citizenship.
It is the most restrictive citizenship law in EU, with stupid consequences:

It is still much heavier than air filled or just partially water filled tank (for stability)
Ergo it is easier to sink an oil filled tanker by adding water to it, compared to one without cargo.

News reports I see state it was on its way to Dakar from Russia, which would imply loaded.
That would also explain why it is sinking, empty ones would have to fill the tanks to sink.

Let’s just write it off and let the market regulate their fate.
At the end, this is what 85% of them want.
