He's going to postpone the election. In all honesty the devestation is so great that I'm not sure it's feesible to hold it on time even if Erdogan didn't have an obvious reason to move it back.

Also the winter in Europe has been mild even by modern standards.

Looking on with sadness as Lula carry out a real purge of treasonous elements after a failed coup' while we just locked up a bunch of low level guys, a couple of mid-level people and called it a day

Housing is not in a bubble. This is not 2007, the US has chronically underbuilt since the great recession and we are seeing th results now. The sky high prices are from a genuine shortage. Younger millenials and older Gen Z want to ditch their room mates and/or stop living with their parents. There is no housing supply for them to do so. On top of that WFH has increased the demand for residential housing.

This is also not a shortage that will ease anytime soon. The market can't respond to the demand by building more units when building more units (where people want to live) is illegal. Take Charlotte NC for example, inside the city limits of this major city 86% of land that is zoned for housing is zoned only for single family homes. Recipe for shortage and car dependent sprawl.

Cops who don't protect the "thin blue line" have a very bad time. One of many examples:

Going from memory but I'm pretty sure Freddie was not shackled/buckled in. Which was intentional from the arresting officers to hurt him and the reason he died.

Baltimore cops did this to Freddie Gray. Handcuffed him in the back, intentionally didn't buckle him up and drove a circuitous route to the station and doubtlessly drove needlessly agressive. Freddie died in the back of the van as a result of their cruelty and sadism.

All officers involved got off, the one or two pigs who went to trial were shamefully qcquitted. Meanwhile the BPD went on a wildcat work stoppage and let crime run rampant to show their displeasure at even the idea they could be held accountable for police brutality.

The poverty rate plummeted under his tenure and literacy increased. But sure go off with the "both sides the same" crap.

Bolsonaro has close ties to Russia and China too. He visited Moscow after the invasion of Ukraine.

No matter who wins Brazil will remain neutral in the great power political chess game. But only one of the two candidates is a fascist who is burning down the Amazon.

Operation Car Wash was 100% discredited as politicized - including the lead prosecutors colluding with Judges - and his case specifically was a sham. That is why he's free.

Would be very dark to see a concerted effort to block Signal in Europe the same way regimes like those in Myanmar and Iran have attempted to do.
