You'd think so, but paying all the people who sit around and think of things to regulate, the people who actually write the regulations, the people who enact the regulations, and the people who enforce the regulations is not a trivial

I got it from two places: 1. Watching the standard of living in the US outpace the EU for decades and comparing their economic systems. 2. Basic common sense tells you that you need resources in order to fund a welfare state, a long list of

To some extent yes, but the issue the leftists have in this case is that X = money (or the equivalent in resources) which is absolutely required in large quantities to enact their political agenda.

No, don't let them get off the hook with "it's flexible for the right candidate", especially if you are talking to a recruiter (either internal or external). That "flexibility" will suddenly disappear if your e

No one wants to work for a company in category #1, though I recognize some people might have to. Find out their range and standard benefits package as soon as possible in the process. If you still don't know after the first phone scree

Terrible advice if you value your time or sanity, especially if you are experienced or not desperate for a job. Find out the range up front by reading the job posting, making the recruiter tell you, asking a friend who works there, or askin

Others have already done so since my initial comment and your response was either "nah" or to disengage, so I'm not going to waste my time arguing with someone who is clearly personally invested in a very specific narrative.

Nope, just tired of watching this list grow without end while nearly everyone else pays for the grift and people like you excuse the behavior: https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/

You apparently need it, given your illogical and inaccurate statements in this thread, but I won't hold my breath while waiting for you to accept that.

> economic growth isn't the only metric worth pursuing It's not, but the absence of it makes it much harder to pursue the many other worthy goals. Which again, is a lesson the EU seems to refuse to accept.

"Valuable" is a relative term, and I am confident that the intelligence gathered using these tools is much more valuable to nations that coins that are primarily used for money laundering and other scams.

This site has turned into a worse version of reddit, which is what I would come here to get away from (I stopped commenting there long ago, and barely visit at all at this point). It's really unfortunate that what was a place to talk a

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Nothing you said has anything to do with the post in question; it's just an angry, uninformed, emotional screed.

That's the core question. I would like to see the parent poster's answer as well, because I don't see it happening as long as the US can price debt in its own currency, and the only way that stops happening is after a catastr

Thanks for continuing to prove my point. The data you provided isn't upsetting, other than it's sad that people are being needlessly killed. Interacting with insufferable transit "enthusiasts" is exhausting though, espec

Nothing like a thread on vehicle preferences to rouse the extremely vocal and judgmental fuckcars crowd on here. You may be shocked to hear this, but not all SUVs are less spacious than minivans and comfort is very subjective. You have to d

Yes, we can be critical of ourselves. I guess your description of SUV-drivers looking at pedestrians with disdain and buying a car with room for more passengers to intentionally exclude potential passengers is an accurate reflection of your

I can imagine one in theory, but not in practice without, at a minimum, a very painful transition that would need to occur in the near future.

Oh good grief, parents with SUVs aren't that complex, and they are often purchased to carry around their kids' friends as well (negating your first point). People do what works for them within their budget, which often is a larger
