    How? They've literally been asking for more crime cameras be installed to fight crime since a resident was murdered. "It's not in the budget." More on duty police? "Sorry, it's just not in the budget." Live facial recognition tracking system that doesn't exist anywhere else and can be used to collect data and create a giant AI database with data from every civilian it tracks. That data can then coincidentally be used to train AI models and enhance profits for companies like Palantir. "Yeah we should be able to swing that in the budget." Basically the exact same story is happening in the U.S. city where I live. We have a boil water advisory every other week, we have terrible roads, and awful schools but somehow the city has the budget to update our cameras so we will become the first city to test this out. After Palantir already secretly used our city to create and test their predictive policing model (which still fucking sucks btw). https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/27/17054740/palantir-predictive-policing-tool-new-orleans-nopd Oh also Palantir happens to be currently working with the U.S. government to create a giant database of every citizen. https://www.mercurynews.com/?p=12164379%2F

    Clear copyright over reach. News titles or tiny excerpts should not copyrightable - that's just idiotic. If thag stops readers from reading your article then it was never good enough to begin with.

    Just for the record, even in Italy the winter tires are required for the season (but we can just have chains on board and we are good). Double checking and it doesn’t seem like it? Then again I don’t live in Italy. Here in Sweden you’ll face a fine of ~2000kr (roughly 200€) per tire on your vehicle that is out of spec. https://www.europe-consommateurs.eu/en/travelling-motor-vehicles/motor-vehicles/winter-tyres-in-europe.html Well, I live in Italy and they are required at least in all the northern regions and over a certain altitude in all the others from 15th November to 15th April. Then in some regions these limits are differents as you have seen. So we in Italy already have a law that consider a different situation for the same rule. Granted that you need to write a more complex law, but in the end it is nothing impossible. …and thus it is much simpler to handle these kinds of regulations at a lower level. No need for everyone everywhere to agree, people can have rules that work for them where they live, folks are happier and don’t have to struggle against a system run by bureaucrats so far away they have no idea what reality on the ground is (and they can’t, it’s impossible to account for every scenario centrally). Even on a municipal level certain regulations differ, and that’s completely ok! So it is not that difficult, just write a directive that say: "All the member states should make laws that require winter tires in every place it is deemed necessary". I don't really think that making EU more integrated is impossibile

    So you are against having machines do the work of blue collar workers? We should all be out in the fields with plows instead of using a tractor and assembling everything by hand in factories?
