I think Americans ought to realise that the role of president in most countries is not similar to the US presidential role. In many countries they are inconsequential figureheads, heck, a lot of countries don’t even have presidents.

Indeed. With our current system it was only a matter of time. As soon as the internet became a default thing which everyone needed to access just to function in their daily lives, it would of course be subjected to the exact same exploitative mechanisms that the non-internet part of our lives have suffered from since the dawn of history.
Racism. You know the thing that the US was founded on.
No, they were created to facilitate pyramid schemes and scams.
As expensive as any other good weighing the same. They would have transported it mainly on ships, where weight wasn’t really a problem. Salt wasn’t particularly expensive, that is my point. You seem to be suggesting the opposite, ignoring basically everything I just wrote in my comment.
Why so many native English speakers use “would of” and similar, while it is much less common for people who have learnt it as a secondary language.
Of course such quirks are not exclusive to English, but is shared among all of the less literal phonetic languages.
You have fallen for the myth that salt was rare and expensive in ancient times. Medieval people did know how to make salt out of seawater. There were salt works all over the coasts of Britanny and Normandy during medieval times. Salt was not rare or expensive, except that they did need a lot of it because it was one of their prime preservation ingredients, so they needed barrels and barrels of the stuff, and that could drive prices up. But it was not because they didn’t know how to produce salt in enormous quantities.
Same goes for Roman times. The myth that salt was so rare and precious that it constituted part of the pay for a Roman soldier is wrong. It was because salt was such an important part of the diet and for preservation that it was given this way. They got grain and oil as well.
Or you had an encyclopedia and a variety of assorted reference books on your shelf at home. This is not really as much about information technology as it is about laziness and lack of curiosity. The same thing is a widespread phenomenon today, even with the internet.
Same as the internet then.
Yeah, this has nothing to do with the internet. It is just about lazy vs. not lazy. The exact same scenario happens today, despite the internet.
You can still buy cheap tiny portable fm radios, old or new, if that is your thing.
And how are they expecting to crack down on this? By deploying automated slop which largely comes up with false positives and can easily be expoited for nefarious purposes, to the annoyance of their regular users?
Aren’t there loads and loads of radio stations which livestream through the internet?
Wow, thanks! That is super useful.
But it is legal to do that in all European countries though. You just need to qualify for a license. And that process seems to mostly do the job, especially compared to the US.
Those “some European countries” would be UK and Ireland for historical reasons. It is not really a widespread thing anywhere else.
Americans tend to forget that very few countries have outright banned guns. What we have is gun control, which means that you have to qualify for owning a gun, but as soon as you do that, you can own a gun.
Netanyahu knows exactly what flatters that orange moron.
Also nominations doesn’t mean anything, basically anyone can be nominated, it doesn’t mean that they are being seriously considered. This is all a show by Netanyahu aimed at keeping Trump close.
More like “which country do you dislike slightly less”. None of them are in the positives, it is just a choice between two evils.
