the collector and the seller know

So you have never bought or inherited an old collection - large boxes rather than single books? “Going to sort them later…” :)

I would assume that every serious collector of books, everybody who has more than a few shelves full, has not read all of them.

Greenland is not a nato member

That’s like saying your right arm isn’t a human.

Greenland is simply a part of Denmark, so it is a NATO member.

USA itself would violate it’s own membership. With such an act it became the enemy of the NATO.

Surely we would not have our bodies so full of microplastic if our stomachs could destroy them.

The feud between Musk and Apple over satellite service pits the world’s richest man against one of the world’s most-valuable companies.

Somebody has learned “shareconomy”

Trolling against some lemmy mods? (surely one of the most hazardous things to to)

The caveat here is why Europeans are a bit better than this?

The European countries had their own wave of fascism and dictatorship in recent centuries. Some seem to have leaned from the experience.

The descent became a downslide and now it’s an avalanche.

No, it hasn’t always been that bad. Stupidity happens. It is human. Most times people were able to keep stupidity in check.

That’s why democracy was invented, by the way. It was founded on the belief that a collective can be more reasonable than a single or small group.
