This is not okay. Trump’s administration is threatening “devastating” retaliation if European officials move forward with plans that could restrict Elon Musk’s Starlink access to parts of the European market.
I think all of us born between like 1975 and 1985 need a support group for the fact that living through a rolling apocalypse, living with long covid, and starting menopause apparently all have the same symptoms.
