Top four safest countries for construction are usually UK, Australia, NZ, Canada. They also have the most regulations on safety and a generally strong safety culture. Correlation may equal causation.

Builders are actually in an extremely competitive marketplace, with a race to the bottom culture on costs. They also bear a huge amount of risk, usually committing to fixed fee contracts. The profits go to those who hold the money / la

Well if we can't afford to build things without killing people, we shouldn't be building things. Construction safety rules act as a check on liberal capitalism's growth obsession.

Did you end up hiring any advisors / consultants / wealth managers etc? If so how did you choose? Did you go by a personal referral or did you go with one who cold called you?

Amazing the lack of financial controls. You have the salesman drawing up his own invoices and payment instructions! As someone who's seen the inside of pro sports teams, most of them are a complete mess.

He doesn't own the asset which draws the sale. He's just a guy who talks on the phone to people. It's not like without him the arena goes unnamed.

when you earn your money in China, and can extract only what you need to live in Canada, it's easy to cheat. Canada has no way of finding out how much they actually earn or hold in wealth in China.

people say it like it's a bad thing that people have deep roots in a city and plenty of friends and family they've known for decades. as if a city full of transient people all desperate to make new short-term friendships is a grea

Personally I'd rather experience living somewhere in Europe for a year or two. See if you can pull that off. Certainly no harm done living in NYC for two years especially if you come with a job lined up. It will definitely make you a b

I've also always noticed American factories seem okay with workers showing up in whatever they want - i.e. you see in that video they are wearing their own t-shirts. To me this shows a lack of seriousness and pride in the work and team

No, I'm not. I'm more referring to the money-chaser Type As who come from around the world to hustle there, and yes I'd count NJ as somewhere else, as well as Long Island.

Lived in NYC (Manhattan and Brooklyn) five years, experienced highs and lows, started a business, closed one, took a traditional job and contract jobs, so I saw a lot. it's extremely overrated and overhyped. Lots of good, interesting p

Sounds like Westfield Bondi Junction. Most space used effectively. Large supermarkets in the mall. Cafes in the open corridor space. Intentionally confusing to get around. Btw, do American shops have parents rooms yet?

Not Service NSW's remit to fix the world of tech. Most use Apple or Android, so that's what they did. It's logical and makes perfect sense. Want change? Demand it elsewhere. I love this app and initiative and am a user myself

Omg. I can't speak further, but this startup and Kalanick are really awful. This is shockingly stupid.

And what people forget in this metaphor - the company that innovated and manufactured the garden hose has just made money too. Their engineer is now employed.

I own a business. I invest in a garden hose so my gardener can water the plants more productively than refilling a watering can constantly. Why would you expect the financial savings of my investment to flow to the gardener rather than to m

Insane that Americans continue to look to the private sector to donate to solve public problems. Literally any country in the world would accept Apple's headquarters and not demand a cent in donations for anything. I wish American comp

Well the population is about 20% of CA's and it's much greener and cooler. California lacks a planning structure. Until recently it was pretty much a land of misfits from the east coast. They should have consolidated local governm

NYC just sucks, man. Left overseas after five years myself, and I sometimes watch ActionKid's NYC walking videos on youtube and cannot believe I used to live there.

I don't think that's clear. CCP have grown the economy in China massively. That's why Chinese are so patriotic. Could be that Lebron is drinking the Kool Aid.
