I basically started today and I have made like 8mil from a method I found. Though that method is quite tedious and really dependent on whether the market is good.
Are there some farms or other methods I could do to make more cash since as I mentioned I've got 8 mil to spend?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
On paper the UK's GDP per capita is $52673 whereas Missisipi's is $53061 according to the World Bank. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_U.S.\_states\_and\_territories\_by\_GDP
Do you believe that the average Brit is poorer than the average Missisipian in actual reality?
Well recently the Entry Exit System came into operation. Here's the explanation:
>The EES is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay. The system registers the person's name, travel document data, biometric data (fingerprints and captured facial images) and the date and place of entry and exit, in full respect of fundamental rights and data protection.
>As of 10 April 2026, the EES replaces the stamping of passports allowing the automatic detection of overstayers.
>The EES contributes to the prevention of irregular migration and helps protect the security of everyone living in or travelling to Europe. The system also enables more efficient identification of overstayers as well as of those who attempt to cross the borders using fake or forged documents.
Though it has also caused quite some commotion at European airports with many passengers experiencing massive delays due to how it takes longer to get past border control and the occasional technical glitches. Things have been so chaotic that many airlines especially Ryanair has been asking for the system to be suspended. https://aroundprague.cz/en/news/two-hour-queues-new-eu-border-control-system-sharply-slows-down-airports
On August 29th, a referendum will be held on whether Iceland should continue negotiations of joining the EU. Currently the polls show that Iceland is really divided on the issue with a split of nearly half for each side, though the yes side does have a lead of 2-3%.
So should Iceland join the European Union?

The article is in Lithuanian, but I'll do a favor and translate some parts of it for you all.
>According to LRT sources, US officials have told Lithuania that the question of the ICC is especially important for countries in which American troops are stationed. American officials express concern over the arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued by the Court and even raise the question of how will countries that have signed the Rome Statute and have American troops stationed within them will respond to the responsibilities that the Court may put upon them.
>In Panama, the leader of the Pentagon Pete Hegseth has repeatedly told US partners in every continent to "Leave the ICC and to resist its attempts to steal the sovereignty from your governments and courts"
>"The US has troops deployed in over a hundred countries. In a changing geopolitical landscape a risk could emerge that deployed American troops could face legal persecution and that's one of the reasons why America hasn't signed the Rome Statute. " - the vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council Ilan Berman explains.
>For the Trump administration it has become a priority to completely dismantle the ICC while pressuring allies to do the same or completely leave the Rome Statute or seperate from it as much as possible.
Look, we hate to admit it but we need immigration if we don't want total economic collapse. Our fertility rate was just 1.34 in 2024 which is way way way below the replacement rate of 2.1 and it will most likely continue to decline further.
You could say that we shouldn't take in any immigrants and become extremely pronatalist instead, however they were tried only to end with at best modest results.
So how should we handle immigration?

Full transparency, I haven't read it, I just looked at the summary of it on Wikipedia.
The book was published in 1997 and it is apparently used by the Russian General Staff and it seems to have influenced Putin's foreign policy quite a lot. Here are some excerpts:
>The Eurasian Empire will be constructed "on the fundamental principle of the common enemy: the rejection of Atlanticism, strategic control of the U.S., and the refusal to allow liberal values to dominate us."
>The textbook advocates a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian secret services. The operations should be assisted by a tough, hard-headed utilization of Russia's gas, oil, and natural resources to bully and pressure other countries.
>The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from the European Union.
>Georgia should be dismembered. Abkhazia and "United Ossetia" will be incorporated into Russia.
>Ukraine (except Western Ukraine) should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness.
>Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists" to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".
While the book calls for other things that didn't happen like the fall of China, it does seem like it is Putin's playbook given how it called for Brexit and then Brexit happened, Georgia's territory got annexed and Ukraine is currently fighting for survival, and the prevalence of Russian disinformation campaigns and sabotage attacks not only here in Europe but also in America and how Russia is promoting both the far-right and the far-left and how Russia promoted Trump in the elections and under him America is becoming more isolationist shows that this might be more than one man's schizo ramblings.

Basically, nearly every left wing movement is between more lenient on immigration or open borders. no one is illegal on stolen land type of immigration.
A bit of the same with crime, most left wing movements favor more a rehabilitative policy of improsonment rather than to be more punitive.
Why isn't there much of a left that's economically and one that socially leans more left wing (i.e supportive of same sex marriage), but is anti-immigration and more tough on crime?
I don't know a lot about Danish politics but as far as I know the Danish social democrats are left wing but more anti-immigration and they are doing decently well relative to other left wing parties in Europe that are losing ground to the far right.
Now that the whole Ceuta situation has calmed down a bit I think we can actually talk about it more rationally.
Alright, so the whole thing was that 60k illegal immigrants entered the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in Morocco in just a single day. The million dollar question is why 60k Moroccans suddenly decided that what they wanted to do that day was trying to illegally enter a Spanish territory to seek asylum?
There have been a lot of conspiracy theories about the whole event.
For example, there's a theory that it was orchestrated by the US and Israel because they were mad about how Spain refused to allow the US to use Spanish bases and how pro-Palestine Spain is. And we can see how Trump already took some shots against Spain to rile up his base by saying that "look at all those brown people invading, this would've been America with Harris instead of Trump."
A more popular theory is that Morocco orchestrated the whole thing due to Morocco not liking how Spain was getting closer to Algeria. The evidence for this being how Morocco allegedly already did the same thing a few years prior.
So what do you think happened in Ceuta on that day?
Let's be honest the EU has its issues and what would you change to resolve those problems?
I propose:
Allowing the European Parliament to propose laws since the power of proposing laws currently rests with the Commission which isn't directly elected by citizens.
Abolishing the veto so that Hungary, Slovakia or Bulgaria now couldn't blackmail us just to aid Ukraine.
Make elections to the European Parliament have pan-European political parties which along with the legislative power I'd give would make voters more aware of what policies they're coting for. The current system is that you vote for your country's local political party and that political party then joins with other parties across Europe into a political group.
Make every country's Commissioner be elected by that country's public rather than the current system of appointments by national governments.
Make the President of the Commission be elected in a pan-European election rather than the current system of being nominated by the European Council and confirmed by Parliament.
Well having Belarus as a neighbour which is trying to push through illegal immigrants to our country as a means of hybrid warfare is fun.
Recently this news report came out that a dozen illegal immigrants attacked our border guards after they discovered that they were digging a tunnel under the border fence (https://www.lrt.lt/naujienos/lietuvoje/2/3013249/po-incidento-pasienyje-isplestas-tyrimas-situacija-aiskinasi-prokurorai).
A lot of our border guards are afraid to use their service weapons against them because that would mean a whole investigation into whether their use was warranted and if it is discovered that it was unwarranted they risk to lose their job and their pension.
There was already quite a bit of controversy when one border guard shot and killed a person trying to illegally smuggle cigarettes from Belarus because the smuggler was reportedly trying to ram his car into the border guard.
So in situations where migrants are getting violent at the border what should the border guards do?
Edit: To clarify the smuggler getting shot is a seperate instance and I just put it as an example of what happens when a border guard uses lethal force. The question at hand is what to do if migrants attack.
