The whole idea of a pension fund is that you don't need to time the system it is the system. Like my country pension scheme. It went through ups and downs for a hundred years but has always come on top. All you need is a long horizon a

The public doesn't care as long as the technology is used to catch pedos and terrorists. Which it has to be said the government is pretty good at. Who knows maybe we'll have automated drone strikes on public offenders one day.

There were so many expensive TV shows being made that it simply wasn't sustainable. We're actually back to normal. TV before streaming was A LOT of reruns, trashy talkshows/reality TV, soaps and quiz shows.

My country banned all hyperscalers. Has nothing to do with China- I live in a densely populated country that doesn't need the chump change from Google and Microsoft. Ugly giant buildings that take up valuable land and require lots of i

The Pittsburgh steel mills provided jobs and a sense of purpose to communities. Something that tech bros fundamentally oppose.

Carrier locked phones haven't existed in my country for decades. I'm quite happy with eSIM- my fine motor skills don't work outside of videogames so replacing SIM was always a pain.

And this is exactly what many Americans cannot admit to themselves. China is not stealing American research they are inventing stuff. They can invent it. They can build it. And it is only a matter of them before they can scale that last bar

People are perfectly content to accept pollution if it provides actual jobs not just money for tech bro douchebags living on a yacht in Tahiti. Instead of buying politicians if you want to build a datacenter start sponsoring the local high

Mandatory testosterone testing! At the end of the day people want to impose their morality on on others. Whether it is crazy Christians or leftist eco warriors- don't let them take away your freedom. Keep on buying shit from China.

I will never forget that CEO in the Netherlands who sold her shares weeks before the IPO. At heavily reduced prices. At least someone knew the emperor was butt naked! She became the figurehead of the dot com bubble and the insane 1990s. All

Ultimately the only protection for that is cultural. If a majority of the population is atheist and refuses to subjugate themselves to authority it doesn't matter what data is leaked. Will that day ever come for America? Unlikely.

The Netherlands is a culture of incredibly pragmatic people who when they see a problem think of ways to solve it. I find that in many different cultures nobody actually wants to talk about reality- painful, excruciating, undignified and so

You cannot reduce tourism unless you literally stop the free movement of people, close the borders and prosecute airliners/cruise liners and train operators. Amsterdam has been bitching about visitors for decades but unfortunately for
