On NPR they were saying it’s pretty much a done deal to ban them by 2027 but I just grabbed the first link I came across. Also tbf they weren’t excluding you from having electronic openers, they just were requiring them to have mechanical backups.
Same experience here, and when I traveled as an immigrant, everyone was always very cordial and welcoming to me (which is more than I can say for the immigrant experience in America). I was in Brazil during Bolsonaro and found many lefties who appreciated the acknowledgement that they were still there working hard despite their country’s leadership (one of them got murdered by his father over politics). I was in Chile during the student riots under Pinera too and was welcomed by the leftists in the street throwing bottle bombs and the cops in riot gear with water cannons. The average person everywhere is involved in a continuous global struggle for human rights, education, economic equity, etc, and they recognize your empathy no matter what flavor of billionaire is currently running the country.
Tô the good, a lot of governments are pushing through regulations on AI usage and development, clean energy developments including wave energy will come to fruition, and economic shifts in what countries do business with each other could mean more development in Africa and South America.
To the bad, food insecurity will become a more exigent problem as basic needs get more expensive, global armed conflicts are escalating, and more folks will be injured through lack of regulation.
Moreover, how long will it take for US auto regulators to ban them the way China already has?

If that’s your OC then you didn’t ask for help, you blasted off about politics. You didn’t say “I” even once.
Any local who can’t separate you from the corrupt billionaires who run your country isn’t worth your time no matter where you are. Anyone who would lie to another person about where they’re from because they can’t separate themselves from the corrupt billionaires who run their country isn’t worth my time no matter where you’re from.
They would see cities designed for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. My city here in America is proud of the hundreds of miles of bike lanes but all they did was paint a bike stencil on the shoulder of the road and put up a sign telling cyclists to stay to the right.
But I highly encourage everyone to ask “Okay, but is that a Swedish mile, nautical mile, Roman mile, or Chinese mile?” whenever miles comes up with Americans.
I find it tedious when someone pretends not to understand a conversation just to make some academic point, don’t you?
The image in the OP literally says “British: hey guys, we developed a thing called the metric sy-” so your argument is with the creator…
Who told you there was anything at all you could do in your life that there wouldn’t be something better than you at? Why do you let that stop you from doing anything?
You’ve already asserted that everything is politics whether I like it or not, including this conversation, and since I don’t get involved in “prove me wrong” political conversations on the internet I’ll just exit.
You’ve already asserted that there are no valid answers to that question. Why did you bother asking?
And this is what I mean. Everything is very much not politics but if you politicize everything then by definition it becomes so. People need to stop doing that.
People need something else to focus on. When everything is politics then politics is everything and it’s stupidly difficult to get people interested in doing anything positive.
This already happens with social factors that affect physical development like access to nutrition and a permanent place to live.
A lot of people are downvoting this because a 19 year old is an adult who can make their own choices and you are insinuating that there’s something so objectively wrong with dating an older person that it should be illegal.
Isn’t that Pokimane? She’s ranked in League. Cute women can do great things. If you sexualize it maybe you’re a creep. Go watch her play.
