If people loose their jobs due to society being fed up with certain companies then it’s bad, it would be praiseworthy though if the same companies fired people due to automation or outsourcing to India. “Economics” media is a codeword for bootlicking propaganda.
He got so rich thanks to corporate welfare. For more than a decade he has been selling far fetched sci-fi ideas intended to save the future of humanity and received billions that fueled marketing campaigns which pumped market value of his companies like it was a meme shitcoin.
It’s not like USA didn’t profit from being the sole sheriff on international waters for those 80 years. Europe being subdued and mostly not seeking any power projection in that period allowed the US to dictate who buys what from whom and in what currency. None of world policing was a charity. There’s no going back to that. Europe has to commit to security, I just hope Von Der Leyen and Tusk will not waste that 1trillion euro they are promising to spend on that and that Americans will take the Russians assets out the Romanian way and become sane again.
Good, whoever cooperates with Lukashenko’s regime should be completely denied entry to the EU under any circumstances.
No. The insanity of hustle culture there is off-putting to me and offers I got from there were always worse than whatever I could find through real life network.
CO2 saturators are cheap. I love carbonated water and all I buy is a gas bottle fill every two months or so for 15 euro, on top of that I don’t need to carry any heavy bottles upstairs.
Tap water here has a lot of calcium in it. Good for drinking but without filtering it would destroy my espresso machine in a month.
Back in mid 00s I created a forum for fellow classmates to share notes, info on exams and whatever. It was active for a year or a bit more, then someone set up a Facebook page for our group and the forum died in about a month. I could not understand why people migrated so quickly, Facebook group was atrocious when it comes to search functions, any files, notes or anything you didn’t download immediatelly were lost to time never to be seen again. If the forum is still up I’m sure I’d still be able to easily download exam schedules and all notes from all the classes there, with Facebook it was a pain even a week after someone posted. There is something fundamentally wrong with society if an inferior product can sweep the board so easily. People do not care about quality or usefulness of anything, all that matters is marketing and trends.
When everything runs smoothly thanks to your contribution it becomes the new norm. Then management expects things to just work that way and whoever they hire next is fucked.
Paving all of them over would be a huge endeavor. I hope Putins orange labrador doesn’t take is as a challenge.
I don’t read much, probably still more than most people but that is still only 3 or 4 books a year so I just buy my books and after a couple years when im sure I won’t be reading them again I donate them to libraries. Libraries are a marvelous invention, I love those places even though I almost never use them. Just imagine how controversial they would be if they never existed and someone had the idea of them now. People would be crying piracy and socialism until their faces turn red.
Storing valuable information on paper is a good idea, I have always done that anyway. I’m not buying dvds and cds though, lowering consumption of media never hurt anyone. I don’t need to watch all those Netflix shows and I don’t need to listen to music.
I break them in whatever fashion you can imagine because I forget I have them with me and sit on them, i throw them in my backpack and then smash them with 6 pack of milk, I put them in a pocket with keys and they scratch. Most of the time I just leave them somewhere because I forget about them. Idk what could be cheaper than buying them cheap.
I’m too lazy to learn another language. Pick from English and Polish, alright?
I just hope that this huge rearmment investments that are being talked about are going to proceed immediatelly and not in a typical EU fashion - that is after 5 years of talks and letters of intent and summits. Ursula, Donald, don’t fuck this up!
There are aspects of economy that certainly should be centrally planned though. A few industries that come to mind are transportation infrastructure and power generation. Private competition is good for most industries but it should never be allowed to dismantle public services for profit. When capitalism arrived in my country in the 90s it devastated our rail network since profit became more important than providing people with transportation services. There are cities of around 80k population that don’t have any rail connections now, some cities twice as large have sparse or barely any connections.
Elon is quite large actually, especially his torso.
Ordo Iuris is an extremist organisation backed by Kremlin. . Someone already had a court case for saying that publically but the court, after weighing all the evidence, deemed this description as accurate and dismissed the case.
Gravel ofc. Just imagine being able to provide every construction site on earth with cheap gravel with no cost at all. I’d be the first billionaire on earth who didn’t fuck other people over to be absurdly rich.
At least 3 years ago their families had a chance to get a new Lada when they die. Now I would be surprised if they got anything more than a sack of potatoes.
