Not really, no.

Thanks for the answer. So, not wealthy at all then. Good to know.
Fun fact, whenever my blood gets used to help someone, I get a text message telling me, and a thanks. Enormously satisfying.
At least that's good. Keeps the wrong people from donating. Thanks for your answer.
Yeah. The motivation was never money. I was just curious since I heard that you got paid in the US. Apparently I was misinformed.
I've been a blood donor for most of my adult life, and have donated about 30 liters. Where I'm at you get a token donation and a thanks for donating, but someone mentioned that in the US you get paid quite a lot depending on the quality and the blood type.
I have a fairly uncommon blood type (about 10% of the population) and a blood count of around 150.
So, how wealthy would I have been if I had donated my blood in the US instead?
June 28 (Reuters) - A growing proportion of non-European Union citizens ordered to leave EU territory are being returned to countries outside the bloc as part of efforts to rein in irregular migration, data from the EU's statistics office shows.
Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, has stated that the prospects for relations between Moscow and Brussels are poor following the approval of Kaja Kallas as the head of European diplomacy at the EU summit.

Hungary’s pro-Kremlin leader Viktor Orban takes over the rotating presidency of the European Council on July 1, just weeks after fellow nationalist and populist parties surged across the bloc in European polls. Hungarian diplomats have promised a “normal” presidency over the coming six months, while experts note that the role carries limited powers. But Orban’s choice of slogan for the job suggests the EU’s serial provocateur is unlikely to shun the spotlight.
Still an interesting read for those who bothered to read it. There is also an interesting discussion to be had, because migration is very much needed into all western countries, but a growing part of the public seems to dislike it, hence the rise of the far right in both the US and the EU.
I think the flag is fine personally. It's very clear what the community is about.
Yeah, all EFTA members have veto rights towards new members, and you're pretty much correct but it's even worse. The UK economy is bigger than all other EFTA countries combined. There's no way they'd let the UK in.
Norway is a rule taker that pays into the EU without any influence. They're also tiny and they know it. This is said with love from a neighbour who would love to see Norway join the EU.
I don't think the UKs collective ego would allow them to join on Norway terms.
This community is the biggest one by far. Shutting this would be bad IMHO. Is there a way to move it to another instance?

I do. That's the correct name/spelling in Swedish.
Hate to be the one to break these news to you, but the UK is no longer an EU member state.
Who are "we" in this context?
I'm saddened by the result. I wonder what the cause is for this.
