That is how you discriminate against people who moved to Stockholm more recently, aka immigrants.

In the entire canton Zurich there are like 300 or so quotas for non-EU workers and Google takes like half of it. Completely crazy.

I am Swiss :) Unrelated to visa issue but I know a lot of non-EU students who resent FoM because it means it is really hard (by no means impossible) to get a good job after graduation because you compete with the entire EU, not only local students.

So it seems like most of the decline happened at low-quality, cheap, 1-year Master degrees.

"Taught master’s had been incredibly popular among international students...their short duration meant they were a relatively affordable option for students wanting ... graduate credential that would also let them pursue post-study work opportunities and possibly permanent residency in the UK."

But the UK just restricted the duration of post-study looking-for-ajob graduate visa, no? That shouldn't affect wealthy students all that much.

It's impossible to even get a Schengen visa appointment in Turkey. I can't imagine how bad it must be in poorer countries. Europe is not as friendly to third countries as Europeans think it is.

Labor won elections with Brexit redlines. No one went for the “original”. The truth is Reform policies are popular and Labor doesn’t want to bleed out and die.

I think she lives/lived in Fribourg for a while, which is a bilingual canton.

Swiss communes took subsidiarity principle to the extreme and it still works really well.

For non-native speakers it is an incredibly helpful tool. Otherwise you spend 5x time to produce 0.5x quality text compared to a native speaker.

In any case, this lack of curiosity about AI from Bluesky progressives is very disappointing. Just because AGI is not around the corner doesn’t mean that AI is useless and/or bad.

Starmer won an election pretending to be a Brexiter, so yes it works.

Ok.

No, Reform won't stop complaining, but Labor's idea is that people who are voting for Reform because of immigration will also consider Labor as an alternative. Just like Starmer pretended to be a Brexiter and somehow it worked, right? People didn't go for *the original*. He won the last elections.

People will stop voting for Reform in that case. That's the idea.

It’s rather UEFA making Europa League more attractive by adding this reward.

Topping quality of life rankings requires certain rigidities that ruins that urban vibe. Same issues with Zurich or “Adelaide”.

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t Turkey a risky investment and after “liberation day”, investors are pulling money from such places and into safe havens like Swiss francs etc? I think his point will hold if this kind of graph was unique to Turkey.

UK being UK, thereupon they will join the states to not harm their special relationship.

This is tuition for Ohio State University. I am not sure if they will be able to charge these prices to Americans once the international students are gone.

True if this stays temporary. I can’t imagine them making 3x when all wealthy international students are looking elsewhere.

I am sure it does but that is what a lot of people are/were thinking.

It usually makes the immigration much harder for those who are outside EU since it is much easier to hire from EU. Some oppose this by arguing that EU shouldn’t be prioritized when the UK has closer ties to Commonwealth countries.

So, they should rather ban the party? After all, the party profited from it and probably Bardella will run for the office as the head of that party. That Le Pen once supported lifetime ban for felons is not really relevant here; she is not known for her intellectual integrity.

80 % of female characters in the show disagrees with this statement.
comment in response to

It is not boosting the party for the next election though. Do you mean she should be barred from office forever?
comment in response to
post
If that is the case, then why is court limiting the punishment to 5 years? Why not lifelong ban? Are people here seriously arguing that felons shouldn’t be allowed to run for public offices for the rest of their lives?
comment in response to
post
Barring people from running for an office should happen only in very exceptional circumstances and embezzling a few million euros is not that.

If you are confident that French public will agree with you, then no need to argue about it. But I think banning her from running in an election where she is among favorites is excessive and people might very well see it that way, too.
comment in response to
post
Her crime was embezzlement, it wasn’t related to electoral procedures like stealing votes or whatever and definitely had nothing to do with presidential elections that will take place in few years.
comment in response to

It is, actually.

No this is more like banning Armstrong from Tour de France because he stole a bottle of water during a race.
comment in response to

That is not what it is saying, it is saying that among those consequences there shouldn’t be “don’t let her run for president”.

I dont think the UK has moral superiority here (by the way, which labor gov did we have in 2016?). www.theguardian.com/world/2016/n...

It isn’t random speculation though. Erdoğa was tried and found guilty like Le Pen and it helped him a lot. Same with Trump, they deplatformed him from social media and he was even became a felon before elections, and it helped him win as well.

But what if it will be good for far-right? Should ignore it because it sounds like defeatism?
