Please do not use HN for ideological or nationalistic flamewar. It's not what this site is for, and it destroys what it is for.

Edit: looks like we've unfortunately had to ask you this kind of thing many times already:

More than flamewars, it may be the little spark which ignites a good change in America. It's a huge country with zillions of resources, they could do it great.

They could call it the 2nd New Deal, but now being forever.

I don't know how people think increasing population density and being dependent on crowded public transportation is "healthy urban style". More like "factory farm".

I've visited parts of Asia which are like that, and beyond the brief feelings of novelty, the dystopian atmosphere became evident. Nope. Do not want.

Who's benefitting from those societies?

If anything we're going to see a de-ubranisation as more jobs go perma-remote. Get over it.

Then I hope everyone switches into electric transportation. Even trucks.

Also, hope you get, too, something akin the ITER to generate the huge power source you'll need.

Millions of cars not driving back and forth every day on useless commutes. Fewer trucks transporting shit tons of resources from rural productive regions into large metropolitan areas.

True, I forgot that point. But new cities will surge from that.

> This looks like an intent of satire which could be perfectly written by US right wing nuts confusing European welfare states promoting a healthy urban style (and public transportation) with totalitarism. ...

Actually, it was written by a European: "Ida Auken, Member of Parliament, Parliament of Denmark"

Here's her bio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_Auken

She's not right-wing either: she's a Social Democrat, and a former member of the Socialist People's Party.

No. 完全不要

Brave browser not invented in the EU.

Can the EU even enforce GDPR effectively?

> Dear old-fashioned Americans: your lifestyle based on being spread over and using the car for everything will die. Get over it. Having populations being too spread/sparse over it's an economical and environmental disaster. It may worked in the 19th century, not any more.

Absolutely nothing is going to stop Americans from building houses and living anywhere in the country that they want. The environmental impact of having a few kids is an order of magnitude worse for the planet than people living in remote areas. If nothing is off limits perhaps you should look inward.

Brave? Sure?

Hilarious. None of those criticisms are even remotely privacy defeating in the current context yet Brave is marked as spyware. Is the author even aware of what real spyware is or are they pretending words don't matter?
