But they had a good run. God knows I stayed with windows thanks to my skype account being accepted. But even those day are bygone.

'Just feeling curious'

Maybe the time is right for a 3rd party to rise?

They're just slow to realize.

No, it's purely distraction and building more support. A power play, if you will. It is the 15th time Fidesz has modified (unilaterally) the Hungarian constitution that they wrote about 15 years back.

With the same stroke they are also enshrining that drugs are bad and for some reason, the right to use cash. Alternatively many opposition politician's have had their immunity revoked. And personally a scary one, dual citizens can lose citizenship for reasons.

As for the anti-gay sentiment. In the capital I would say it's not a thing, but two guys holding hands walking down an empty street could get accosted. In smaller cities I've noticed that being openly gay is tolerated, but frowned upon. I'm sure the propaganda brainwashed many, there were plenty of haters to begin with anyway. Kids use gay and fag about the same way as Cartman from South Park.

The mayor of Budapest is still planning on hosting the Pride festival this year.

Get BMW, Audi & Mercedes to suspend activities. While the EU is still reaping the benefits of a worsening forint, it rings hollow that they wouldn't have influence. Even closing the funds (tying it to rule of law) has had a positive effect, the regime seems to ve feeling it. It feels more and more that it's all about the cashflow and sating interests.

The problem is the people in the EU have as much control over this phenomenon as an average opposition voter in Hungary.

In case anyone not familiar with Hungary's political structure: 'governing party set to push' can be transcribed to goverment single-sidedly overwriting the constitution again.

We had a few protests along the lines, but it feels like the the whole country is holding it's breath till next April (elections).

Without any googling whatsoever I am pretty sure there have been studies on the matter. My guess is either there is no trivial solution or something that would go against efficiency.

There is definitely a big alternative wind energy movement about. I've seen designs on small scale that basically just wobble and generate power. Maybe we have to step back a bit, before we can go full in. We can't have slowly rotating blades chop up our birdies.

I dig your ideas and and stance on looking for a solution. I don't think windmills go fast enough to achieve that effect, though just blinking LED strips might do the trick. I'm no bird lawyer per se, but I do believe their sight is different to ours.

You got my fantasy going, so now I'm imagining the windmills spouting some artificial clouds into the wind and lasers displaying birds of prey into the mist.

Bird stickers on the blade?

It's mostly a dog whistle to get folks riled up about supporting gypsies. Even if we take worst case scenarios, a whole hoard of freeloaders is less stress on society than 1 rich bastard getting away with taxes.

They'll have their hands full extracting the lithium from the dead Tesla batteries.
