Vestager is ultra pro open markets. It seems not all here get that part. She is pushing for competition all the way by keeping competition fair. If you're like Apple doing tax evasion with a "Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich" model then you can expect to take some heat. And EU is by the way not keeping fines. Those fines are 1:1 deducted from what the countries pay and EU can't charge taxes on their own. EU is not like the US government.

If Apple can't handle a person running things by the book, fighting for open markets, and being passionate about fair competition then the person replacing Vestager later this year will be a nightmare to Apple. The election earlier this month gave nationalistic parties more votes. Trade protectionism is high on their agenda. Tim Cook shouting at Vestager has all the way been very unprofessional. You don't see him like that when working with communist dictatorships.

She's not pushing open markets or fair markets, nor is she running things by the book, unless it's a secret book that only she has access to. What she is pushing is preferential treatment for European companies at the expense of American companies. Perhaps that's difficult to see from a European perspective, and obviously an American perspective may create an opposite bias, but her actions against American companies, and to give European companies whatever they want, are so blatantly protectionist, so precisely targeted, that the objective truth clearly is closer to the American perspective on this issue than the European.

Trump winning its a given at this point.

The world needs it.

The world needs a felon with 34 criminal convictions who is incapable of stringing two sentences together in charge of the US? I don't think so.

Not that Biden is dong any better with speaking these days, but at the end of the day I'm going to vote for the person who actually believes in a democracy, not a fascist and wannabe dictator.

Neither are you mate. Dong? What is dong? It would appear that you are as bad as Biden.

What I don’t understand is how Youtube targets ads. They keep sending me the same ads that I skip over and over again. I would think at some point they would try a different ad.
