The EU functionally cannot do anything but neoliberalism and sucking up to the US. When this runs counter to basic materiap reality they will just create "loopholes" where they overpay and subjugate themselves, such as their self-imposed energy crisis where they still buy from Russia and the US but at exorbitant cost.

Not even a complete pause.
There are still large tariffs on China.
The admin still added 10% to basically everyone.
De minimis is still scheduled to end on May 2 and result in large customs fees for direct-to-consumer purchases from China. Many sellers on Amazon are shipping from China (the ones that take 2-3 weeks to arrive).
The media has been particularly incompetent in describing the real state of the tariffs. They keep adopting Trump's inaccurate language.

When the pendulum swings back they will reach a deal to save money on the El Salvadoran black sites and a (ineffectual) military lawyer for every kidnapped citizen.
Was Debord the only one that wasn't a sex creep?
He allegedly was a local leader of sorts in Association nationale des étudiants du Burkina, a Burkinabe Marxist organization. But I'm far from an expert.
Yes and structurally universities "train" far more PhDs than they have professor positions so it is literally impossible for the vast majority of academic track PhDs to get a professor position. The economics drive this: PhD students are just underpaid lab workers, basically. Like the 5 interns hoping to get the one full time position, it's not an accident, the situation is gamed because the employer gets more labor for less money.
Their supposed plan is to have private companies do it and charge large fees. This would just crush all Aliexpress (as is) demand, though. To keep functioning they would switch to stateside warehousing models or some loophole. They already use their own repackaging service to make there be fewer packages and their own delivery services to bypass USPS, UPS, etc.
It's very common for avoiding de minimis and/or having a lower tariff fee. Some countries have de minimis of around $50 so the seller will list the vakue as $30 for a $150 item, foe example.

Germany is cosmopolitan, it has many types of food from all around the world and a pretty big group of vegans spicing things up. Though when th3y "Germanize" a dish it always makes it worse.
