My theory is that designers are extremely afraid that someone might notice that many areas have had enough design already and don’t really need a redesign every couple of years.

You forgot the crucial aspect of the flying car concept. Privately owned flying cars are flown by unqualified idiots instead of qualified pilots and get basically no maintenance of safety inspections compared to planes and helicopters.
I will also never understand that whole obsession in the US with what the founders intended over what makes sense. It reminds me of people reading religious books.
There was that US TV series basically celebrating torture called 24. Not to mention every other movie or TV series with an interrogation scene.
Because we look back on the time when our parents raised us and realise they had it better than us and that progress has given way to not just stagnation but now full on regression.
Not just that but also that most of the reasons are not accidental but were predicted 50 years ago and deliberately ignored by most in the older generation for selfish reasons.
If you followed the news in recent months you would know about the European efforts about ensuring supply chains do not involve exploitation or other morally objectionable practices. These represent compliance risks to companies working with countries like China. It would be naive to assume that a statement like his about risks has nothing to do with that.
If you think you could ever trust anyone else outside maybe you closest friends and family to act in your best interest you are naive.
On the other hand if you think that all politicians are equally untrustworthy you are even more naive.
No, what he is saying is “We don’t like that Europeans care so much about things like reliability and moral concerns, it is getting in the way of making a profit over here in China and thus getting in the way of my career as the president of the European Chamber of Commerce in China”.
President Eskelund, who has lived and worked in China for 25 years, is chief representative for Maersk in Greater China and Northeast Asia. He has served two terms as vice president of the European Chamber—from 2019 to 2021 and from October 2022 to May 2023—as well as State Representative, and has also been actively involved with the Chamber’s working groups since the Chamber’s inception, including as chairman of the International Liner Shipping Sub-working Group (formerly the Maritime Working Group). He has also served as both board member and chairman of the Danish Chamber of Commerce in China.
The main reason poor and developing countries have high birth rates is that their rate of child mortality is higher and that they have no social systems to take care of the elderly so having many children is sort of their pension system. If anything we want to introduce measures there that make the high birth rates unnecessary.
Also, why would we want to make the problem worse by having births here in addition to theirs? Assuming you don’t mean the obvious racist or nationalist motivations?
Why though? There are more than enough people on this planet. Delaying the failure of pension systems for a few more decades is not a sufficient reason to screw over all of humanity.
And what do you suggest instead if previous tactics clearly are not working?
The protests matter because they destroy the narrative that the silent majority is behind the AfD views.
By the end of this decade, Rejoin will be a very mainstream position among British politicians in the way it already is with British voters.
Still, that means it is probably not going to happen until the last years of the following decade at the earliest and that is if a significant effort is made to reduce the gap on standards and regulations introduced in the last few years.
That wax figure looks like a vampire version of The Rock was bitten by another vampire to make him even more pale.
Do you like the increase in forest fires, flooding, droughts, influx of exotic diseases from warmer regions,… too?
Honestly, just give me one time for everything world-wide and then have - gasp - people get up at different times. It would make things so much easier.
It clearly seems like something designed by people who get up at 04:00 and are asleep by 20:00.
Jeremy Corbin has fucked up the UK economy worse than any future Labour candidate could with his pro Brexit views.
