Vader even has a castle

Please explain for non-baguette speakers

Altman used his multi-stop trip to pitch his plans to progress AI, involving Asia's manufacturing muscle, Middle Eastern money, and U.S. regulators.

Slave labour, oil money and regulatory capture come together to form... whatever the fuck this is.

Metro used to have something like that. Also, a bunch of wholesale places way back when.

EU copyright directive

That's what I'm talking about, there are different classes of EU rules, there are mainly opinions (non-binding), directives (members states should theoretically comply, but are free to figure out how to, so what you described might happen), and regulations (becomes law immediately everywhere on passing).

So for example member states have no room to avoid complying with the GDPR, or the one reg about no roaming charges, but passing a regulation is very, very hard. But if it gets passed, individual member state parliaments have no role, it overrides national legislation. But only for regulations.

It isn't an American plant getting elected in Russia, but the other way around, isn't it?
