Yes they do. Especially now with the worker shortages, you can get a job anywhere. You can get by in many areas by working at mcdonalds, and people who can't figure this out don't deserve my tax dollars.

I bet it's much more stressful to run giant empires than the typical desk job. And paying the bills isn't that hard - if it is you need to move immediately to a lower cost of living area, you need to save for retirement after all.

There really is no economic growth in Europe, outside of Germany. If you look at the largest market-cap companies in UK and France, for instance, they are all petroleum based. Since these businesses have done poorly for the past 20 years, y

In the case of arithmetic, strong typing is kind of nice, because math is different dependent on what types you are using. 3/2 = 1 for integers, 1.5 for floats, etc... You really don't want to mix those up in mission critical sect
