I live in Germany, many big companies are having difficulties and some have even closed shop, people are getting fired. German industry is dead, as most industry was tailored for russian gas, those machines just don't work with sky high expensive American liquid gas. This all while China stepped up the whole prices (Bosch, Porsche etc are outsourcing in china). Glass industry is on the rocks, keep everything made of glas, don't throw away unless it's broken.

🇺🇬 Uganda’s President says West "wasting time" with gay rights push

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has accused Western countries of imposing gay rights on African nations, as lawmakers in the country prepare to vote on an anti-LGBT bill.

The bill, introduced earlier this month, proposes tougher penalties for same-sex relations in a country where homosexuality is already illegal.

In an address to parliament on Thursday, President Museveni said Western threats of sanctions on African countries opposed to homosexuality were hypocritical because the West also has some "weird cultures".

"Western countries should stop wasting the time of humanity by trying to impose their practices on other people," Museveni said.
