Things have not really fallen apart, though. You can even still get coffee. I find it silly to claim this or that should have been stockpiled with hindsight. There are just too many different things to stockpile. And the same people demandi

But what kind of thing do you have in mind? Afaik actually taking care of old people is backbreaking work, probably not suitable for most retirees.

"Sadly, this is the form of status that I seek." It just goes to show you have to pick the right peer group to achieve the things you want, as people will want most to impress their peer group. I've often caught myself with t

Many people spent much, much more than 30 minutes thinking about Covid by now. Many have been in lockdown for over a year now. Every newspaper article they see, every TV show they see, every discussion people have is about Covid. Even the e

"I was responding to the idea that successful practitioners didn't get lucky." Of course they are "lucky", but only because they took the risks and went in prepared. There is no 100% guarantee for anything, so you a

I'm tired of this shelf stocker narrative (or more general, the "some people simply have no chance whatsoever"). I think most people don't remain shelf stockers forever. In my country, it is often pupils who do it, or re

You mean MMM or the author here? How do you know he "got lucky", since he doesn't mention how he got his nest egg? (Yes in a wider sense lucky to be born smart enough for a good job, in a country with good jobs and so on, but

I regret that I never worked as a waiter in a cafe, and now it looks as if I can't afford it anymore. Or if I could afford it, I would be taking away the job from people who have a more urgent need for it than me.

I find it quite different to find a meaningful occupation, it may not simply be a choice by those people.

Oil and coal also used to be organic matter, so it also is a cycle. Just a much longer one.

Then that portion of the crowd have to make their own decisions. As I said, uncertainty should also be communicated. How exactly do the authorities handle the issue of long term side effects? Presumably they base their decision on some kind

It is the responsibility of the authorities to provide appropriate information. If they fail to do that - maybe something is wrong with the authorities. I don't think they can simply blame "journalists". In my European countr

I think it is complete bullshit to blame everything on the US. The EU government screwed up. Biontech was even developed in Europe, how exactly can the US prevent its use here?

Personally I think individual schools should have the right to demand vaccinations, but demanding every kid to be vaccinated to be allowed to school would not be the right thing, no. People who don't want to vaccinate should be allowed

It's a good thing if people try to get informed. The pandemic and its handling by the authorities has unfortunately shown that "the authorities" don't always make the right choices and don't always provide the right

Maybe for Non-Java languages IntelliJ has an edge? When I used it, it was doing JavaScript for a company and all the other devs were absolute fans. I haven't really missed much with Java development on Eclipse.

I still use Eclipse and have no complaints. If IntelliJ was a one time payment, I might give it a try, but I really dislike being bound to a thing with recurring costs. I've used IntelliJ for a JavaScript project and in the form of And

"All the bears have been completely wrong, except for short periods of time." Unfortunately, those short periods of time are enough to bankrupt people. I don't think anybody is claiming fiat currencies will go away forever.
