How else would the mega rich be able to buy up the property and rent out the spaces for normal people to finance?

Let's hope they both get the fine and are forced to make the changes afterwards.

They really do deserve it, and the money could be used somewhere else.

Google already got hit a few years back.

Google suffered one of its biggest setbacks on Wednesday when a top European court fined it 4.125 billion euros ($4.13 billion) for using its Android mobile operating system to thwart rivals, offering a precedent for other regulators to ratchet up pressure.

I'll give some examples of great implementations of socialism that drives welfare in today's democracies, as I personally believe that socialism can't exist without democracy, as it's one of the core values of the concept, that's it's controlled by the people.

One of socialisms ultimate goals are also equality, which my examples will show.

• Free education
• UBI if you get fired
• UBI for old people
• UBI for students
• Free health care (duh)
• Free dental (normally only till age of 18 today)
• Basic insurance paid by the government

These are just the big ones that really helps to make sure that very few people are actually poor and are getting desperate because of it.

Also, it's always important to say that socialism and capitalism are NOT mutually exclusive. It's perfectly normal to have all these concepts from socialism in a capitalist country.

I think we can agree that a country with 100% capitalism or socialism is not the best way to go.

Socialism is not a 'one thing' . It's a concept as a whole. You can have good or bad socialism and everything in between.

The world is far more nuanced than that.

Americans being afraid of socialism is proof that propaganda works. It's literally for the people.

Well, that's not true.

We say it because both US parties are very similar, and both of them are very right leaning compared to the rest of the western world.

It also indicates that's there's no democracy in the US, because there's only really one choice.

Even the historical, biggest right wing party in Denmark would not remove any of the things you mentioned, except school lunches.

O.o

The EU ripple effect. Good job US, if it actually passes.

They try really hard to not comply for anyone else.

Which means it's working really well and exactly as EU wanted to.
