Trump seeks to "paralyze" the "Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board" (PCLOB). A key element of the EU-US data transfer deal ("TADPF") that allows EU-US data flows.
Trump is not the solution for the US, that is true (Bernie would’ve been a good option 8 years ago, Andrew Yang probably still is a good solution now). But Trump is the solution for the rest of the world. People don’t realize their errors when things are going well, it’s precisely the opposite. Trump has to fuck up relationships with his partners so badly that they understand the errors in their ways.
Unfortunately, that seems to be the only way besides money that people at the top (or in general) learn. Without Trump, the EU (and many other countries) would continue relying on the US for too much and letting it creep its way into everything (culture, critical systems, trade, local politics, family discussions, language, etc.).
Just saw an article this morning about how the Swiss federal retirement fund (AHV) is now managed by a US bank, which could freeze assets if it wanted to. The facepalm is nuclear.
The reason: It’s cheaper.
But “politics don’t interest me”, “I don’t vote, nothing really changes, anyway”, “I don’t pay attention, too much effort”.
… I’m burning out. I need a hole to crawl into for a while.
