So, by and large, they're going to fine Google for not giving fair and even results from searches. Someone should remind them that paid positioning is how Google makes its money.
They probably know this - so why?
Well - think "Greece" - no not the fries available in the Google cafeteria - but the nation going financially down the tubes. The EU needs to help out Greece by writing off the loans and/or giving them more money. But from where . . . oh, yeah . . . now I get it.
Were I Google, I'd make an example of them: stuff it up your collective croissant - and pull all my resources (i.e., jobs) from the EU - and then - if the EU wishes to block Google, well, we know what that says about the EU.
As for China? I'd just pull the Elephanting plug on them rather than limit searches per their government's recreation of reality.

I agree that an example needs to be made.
The greedy @rsehole yanks who cause the global financial problems that screw up national economies every few years should be lined up against a wall and shot.
That way, the next two or three times they do it (probably within the next 15-20 years), enough of them should be culled that they'll be unlikely to be able to do it again.

Predictable reply. When in doubt, blame the Yanks.
The EU economies going down the toilet are doing so of their own free will and accord.
Even in Europe, someone has to actually do the work to pay all those people who don't wont.
Etc. Etc. Etc.

The problem in Greece isn't people not working: it's people who are working not paying any taxes!

No doubt! Working includes real life drama also, if you are said to follow the rules to get more money or return the money!

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that Yankee financial institutions have been responsible for just about every major global economic downturn in the last century.
So I'm not in doubt. The problems faced by countries like Iceland and Greece are a direct result of Yankee greed.

Yup - I have some Kodak super-zoom cameras w/Schneider lenses. Someone worked like a fiend to make so sharp over its entire range.
However - it would have been nice if you'd bailed out (or bought) Kodak's digital camera manufacturing division. It's since been licensed and they're not doing it proud.

Unfortunately, we have no influence on "them". Generally when a business goes down, Union makes sure the employees are protected or offered alternate options. I have no idea what happens next

FTFY
Typical response... It's always the fault of the US.

Can we add the politicians who are protecting them and the companies they near ruined, with our money?

Gets my vote.
Mind you, anything that would reduce the percentage of bent politicians to below 98% gets my vote.

Actually it was the Clinton administration in late 90's that scaled back mortgage requirements that allowed the sub-prime mortgage fiasco to precipitate and be the catalyst of the whole fiasco. But more than the politicians it was greedy Wall Street types to blame. They created and peddled the financial instruments based on the sub-prime mortgages they didn't understand. Their house of cards crashed (but hey, they got their bonuses). And still, no administration, particularly the current one that has dealt with the aftermath, has done anything to prevent this from happening again.

It's the politicians, bank directors, Bilderbergs, Illuminati etc. worldwide that are causing these problems.

I live just down the road from the bilderberg hotel.
My phone can't get a signal when I walk past it.

Do you know that I've actually shaken that idiot's hand?
It was back in the days when he was a snooker commentator for Auntie.
What's interesting, though, is that everyone, including the snooker players, thought he was a bleeping looney, even them.
He's just a marketing moron that wasn't even clever enough to keep a job in marketing.

Does that apply to all of them?[^]

No, I was talking about this one[^], who started (or maybe only propagated) the bollocks about the Earth being run by alien lizards.

Well that's a funny misunderstanding
I really can't imagine that guy to have any sense or smarts in him.
Having the dumbs pays pretty well[^] though

If you're willing to be the worst kind of person that can be, you can make money out of it.
Thankfully, though many are called, most say "F*** that; it's not nice!"

Glad you cleared that up. I was trying desperately to work out why I couldn't remember George Bush doing snooker commentaries!
