That's probably one reason that business degrades over time. With that type of "requirement" you can't get anyone worth a dam to work for you, past a certain point.

I do have a similar experience and it's almost impossible to find groups of people that value honesty above everything else. That's because truth hurts and is hard to accept (it can also cause all kinds of emotional reactions that

You wouldn't get a collapse, but necessarily a contraction, the pie is getting smaller regardless, having less people to "eat it". Yes, having a system based solely on positive demography isn't any good. In fact, I would

It's not really a problem of "resistance", it's more about purchasing power, common and avoiding feeling ripped off. People buy stuff competitively and that's it. There are modifiers, notably being rich enough that

I think this is already happening. OVH built a datacenter in Canada, close to a big dam, so they could get access to cheap electricity and a lot of it. This is just one example, but I would be surprised if that wasn't a consideration i

Employment stats in the EU are a complete joke and don't reflect at all real work/value creation. It's all about moving numbers from one box to another. Just because you made one more bureaucrat bullshit job does not mean you

Yeah, I don't understand how those people use reason (or maybe they don't). If you look at the biggest/richest companies, it's all about US tech industry and associated, even though we have fronted a lot of the research

It's not necessarily about being content to submit to the US, but more an ideology of globalism too good to be true. Most of the leaders in EU have some sort of collectivist mindset (either right or left, just what and the amount diffe

The point is that you can do those things, even if they are not as easy as you wish or require more investment than thought. In the case of Apple, you cannot, regardless of how much you want to invest in supporting those features. Nobody is

Of course, it's kind of the point of having borders and control, if they let anyone in without verifying, it's not even worth having a border. Going from France to UK is like that, and before Shenzen, it was like that from EU coun

It's hard to state how wrong that "solution" is. It comes from good intentions but as they say hell is paved with good intentions. What is needed is that work pays more so that it's fairer and more attractive and that&#x

It does seem quite nice. Is the pen input decent? If the build quality is OK the pricing is quite good, in France with 32Go/1To is 650€ cheaper than an equivalent MacBook Air. I have not looked for a proper CPU comparison but I don

The vegan propaganda has worked so well that somehow people now think eating meat (red or otherwise) is something we have been doing only recently and only because we are rich. This view of the world is so wrong I can't believe it. Eve

That's particularly weird because I think their meat is really not enjoyable at all. I have eaten just a piece of it once as a tasting of Spanish tapas tradition and I wouldn't want to renew the experience at all...

So when you get a rat infestation you leave them their bodily autonomy? This is such a naive, black-and-white view of the world, I hope you get into a situation where this will be made extremely obvious. Modern educated humans are so smart
