Well I am sorry for your loss. It happens. You might have stumbled on a "tourist trap", places where they make disgusting food that no local would ever touch and exclusively bank on foreigners who know no better. The Costiera Amalfitana is filled to the brim with foreign tourists, especially in summer, so I'm guessing there's no lack of such scummy places.
Yes. Yes you have.
Sincerely, from Italy with ~~love~~ much hatred and anger.
YES! That was one of my favourite subs back on Reddit, glad to see it reborn.
nel giugno dell’anno scorso ha preso parte alla missione suborbitale “Galactic 01”, volo spaziale per il mercato commerciale, per conto del gruppo britannico “Virgin” (400 società) di proprietà del celebre magnate Richard Bronson
Oh do they? Never heard about that. Guess I've learnt something new. I wonder if it would be different for us, given how fewer big companies the EU has compared to the US.
I'm not familiar with the Delaware situation. Is it similar to Ireland's, then?
Foreign-owned multinationals continue to contribute significantly to Ireland's economy, making up 14 of the top 20 Irish firms (by turnover), employing 23% of the private sector labour-force, and paying 80% of the collected corporation tax.

I agree, it would be great! Also definitely more efficient than the 24 official languages we currently have, lol.
I guess Hungarians and Finns wouldn't be too pleased by this division though. Hehe.
I don't think the language barrier is that big of a deal. And more importantly I think the cultural value it provides us vastly outweights the economic benefit of a shared tongue.
I think one of the more urgent reforms that could help the EU prosper would be a common fiscal policy. We have the same tarifs on goods coming from abroad and most of us share the same currency, but countries are still offering varying tax rates. I think having an EU wide tax policy would help spreading the European branches of foreign companies more evenly. Though I reckon not everyone would like this (wink wink, Ireland).
EDIT: oh and also. I agree with your overall point, but using Lemmy as an example for "great innovation coming from the EU"...
I love Interlingua, as a Romance speaker I find it awesome, but after having consulted with some Germanic and Slavic friends it seems pretty unintelligible to them. Unfortunate, cause it's so easy and effective for us.
Unfortunately Italy does not have an official national animal, meaning no animals are enshrined in our constitution or any of our national symbols. However if we had one that would definitely be the wolf.
Magari non sono iscritto alle comunità giuste, non so, ma guardando il mio feed mi capita abbastanza di rado di vedere post da feddit.it.
Oltre all'ovvia preponderanza angolofona, per esempio, mi sembra ci sia molto più francese da jlai.lu che italico idioma da Feddit. Chissà, magari è solo una mia impressione o una conincidenza. O magari i post di feddit non ricevono mai abbastanza interazioni per finire nel feed "Hot" e così finisco per perdermeli.
Love to read some nuance on the topic. As much as we all repeat to ourselves to "remember the human", it still doesn't happen as often as it should.
Always good to remember that very few people are naturally and constantly toxic, most people are just normal folks and everyone has bad days.
Yes.
