You are telling me that smart meters, of all things, don't have API circuit breakers to prevent them from crashing the entire system? Talk about irony.

You can make a relatively tasty rice with beans with canned beans and bit of salt in 10 minutes - if you are feeling fancy adding parsley will even move it to tasting good. I'm starting to suspect all the corn syrup is damaging american's taste buds beyond repair.
And the ones arriving are coming at a premium. And it's not only because of the value of the tariffs. There are plenty of people complaining that American companies are being required to pay imports up front because no one wants to take the risk of rejected deliveries due to surprise tariffs. This often means that American companies will need to get loans to pay for their orders, and those costs will be passed to the customers.
I also saw posts of people saying that hospitals aren't buying some medical equipment anymore because the sales price is locked by contracts with insurance companies and buying it from China would put them at a loss, so it's more profitable to refuse service to patients - hurray for private healthcare ! /s
Theoretically several european countries have mandatory vaccines, which can, theoretically, lead to parents getting fined (for example, in Germany parents can get fined 2500 euros if per child if they are not vaccinated for measles).
The real scandal here is that in most of the EU parents are allowed to endanger their kids and all the other children around them.
That's still no reason for us to give them money. We can't negotiate with the BRICS as BRICS because every cent we give to Russia is a cent that Russia will use to to buy things to fire at us.
They can't win a war, but the way their regime is set they need to fight a war. And while they can't win they can ruin many lives in losing.
Wikipedia has always been subject to EU laws regarding personal dignity rights, like the right to be forgotten for example. The GDPR is not even relevant for 99% of those cases, and they predate GDPR and even then web by decades. There have been court cases about it, and Wikipedia complies with court decisions. It's not an Achilles Heel it is the normal balancing act between the public's right to be informed and the individual's rights to a private life.
2 and 5 are also fine at best. Good cutlery needs to have proper "thick" handles, these all look cheap and unergonomic.
You can keep personal data without consent for security and fraud detection. What Wikipedia does is perfectly compatible with GDPR.
Edit: case in point, Wikipedia is already subject to the GDPR, it's a very high profile website, and it hasn't been sued for violating it.
It's a bit different criticising a party for courting thinly disguised bribes from oligarchs and plutocrats, and wanting to remove all funding a party.
