If someone hacks my account and starts ordering stuff on bol it's not my problem but the company's so I don't sleep over it. The company doesn't care either because fraud is just the cost of doing business- ease of order

Other countries have private enterprises rolling out broadband so I think the difference here is good old fashioned corruption.

Ofcourse. That's what unions do. It's also why inflation is so damn nefarious because unions ALWAYS negotiate a pay rise to match it. Which as you can imagine gets very ugly fast.

Curiously in the Netherlands poverty has gone down. But that's because the government has a pretty solid Robin Hood system going on: take from the rich give to the poor. The amount of wealth that is redistributed is frankly insane.

You cannot free market healthcare because quite frankly there is no real profit in this industry. Yeah even your high net worth client that pays 50k in premiums every year wipes you out when they get some complicated form of cancer. Edit th

Well when you get really down to it what is the most important thing in the world? Your health. Not much point being rich if you're in chronic pain. And thanks to technology and science our first world society's got really good at

That is not exclusively an American thing. In my country currently 17% of the workforce is in healthcare. Probably need to start exporting more old folks to 3rd world countries where they can live out their days in resorts.

What is the context? A bunch of religious crazies decide to build a colony on the sovereign territory of another state. Now unless you ascribe to that religion or believe that your tribe can do no wrong it all seems simple.

A US president visiting his own golf course on a state visit! I think it's just too painful for people to admit how fast their country is going down the drain. I like to imagine how decent Germans must have felt in 1938. How did they k

Uhm yeah in order to actually wire money in my banking app I need to input a fingerprint. Smart people developed these apps banks are not stupid. Obviously people can still kidnap you and torture you but that's no different from before

Funneling massive amounts of taxpayer money is how China caught up. Look I get it those with good incomes in America want to pay less taxes because they can take care of themselves.

The base are the rich who get the tax cuts. Looking at the US is looking at making Cyberpunk real. If you're not rich your vote doesn't matter you are just a useful idiot.

In those days education and healthcare were provided by the church and the government gave each denomination money for it. So that is why the government needed to know how many Catholics or Jews there were.

Steam tried BTC and it didn't work. Hell the whole reason why Steam got big is how FRICTIONLESS it made buying videogames. Still people will go a long way for their porn fix so who knows?

If an airline company treats you like trash you can shame them on social media and book with someone else next time. Why would Visacard care about complaints? You need them more than they need you...

Even the US is not exempt from economic rules. Trump and the rich want less taxation. The deficit cannot grow infinitely. Something has to be cut.
