Maybe the amount of stress we feel is narrowly bounded and has little or nothing to do with how bad things are externally.

In my lifetime the seasons in Ireland were never very distinct. I remember thinking it was odd that spring wasn't much different from winter, and that autumn was often marginally warmer than summer, but living in a continental climate

Interesting! From reading up on this, this seems to be "meteorological winter" which makes me think its not an old tradition. I think it's likely that the terms mid-winter and mid-summer come from a Celtic tradition similar t

I'm not sure about England, but in Ireland and possibly other Celtic countries, Winter is traditionally taken to be November, December and January, thus Christmas is just slightly past mid-winter.

But what will China do for their imports? Unless they can win the war quickly won't they struggle to import the stuff they need, especially food? The US may be unprepared for total self-sufficiency, but at least it's capable of it

As an analogy, if you have a hose squirting out water at a certain rate, and you increase the pressure, then all other things being equal you'll get a higher rate of water. But then that means you could now reduce the size of the hose,

True, but the people who ignore warnings on VWs also ignore them on Toyotas, and yet Toyota still consistently comes in ahead. I do think there are cultural issues though with the US vs Europe. It's very common that cars that are known

This maybe be true, but it doesn't come close to explaining the situation. Going back to one my my examples: we are based in the US and the agency staff I mentioned are based mostly in South America. I'm not sure what their local

It's a good question. There's just something about being in the same country. It's hard to explain why though. I work for a fully remote company. Most of us are based in the US but the company also hires people from some othe

Right but the argument (the good one) isn't that they're paid less - it's that you're paid less because they are available. If US employers couldn't import workers they'd have to pay you more.

I don't understand your second sentence but you might want to look at Office Space - it's a movie about software developers made by the same creator as Silicon Valley (Mike Judge).
