That is not the reason that got Germany to have poor telecom infrastructure. We also have poor 4G/5G coverage without the need of any FTTH setups. There is a common case of excessive bureaucracy and extremely conservative population (t

I am extremely surprised about this article, to the point that I am starting to doubt about its credibility. I own a BMW i4 since 2022, exactly the same model and year as the author claims he is suffering those issues on. In addition, since

Because people are choosing deliberately to get pleasure to eat unhealthy stuff instead of being healthy. And that’s a reasonable thing to do. Immediate pleasure trumps future hypothetical gains. And it’s exactly the same situation with fin

Changing habits is easy . Still people decide against it because they enjoy those habits more than the result of changing them. Unless we talk about eating disorders.

I’m curious, being a county does that also imply that a Count of LA exists? And the same for each county in the USA?

In general, phone coverage in Germany is subpar, no matter what provider you choose. The country has too many anti-5G people with too much power to stop or delay projects.

Different people react differently to flu and colds. I usually don’t get any colds at all, but I catch the flu once a year and need to be in bed at least for a week. So I started vaccinating since a couple of years and have avoided it so fa

Historically other currencies have depreciated much more than the Euro. The LEV depreciated around 99% before being pegged to the Euro.

One of the most known examples happened in Germany after WWII. After the war Germany had lost quite a lot of businesses, infrastructure, industry and farming. Also obviously lots of manpower. Produce was scarce and inflation was extremely h

I still don’t see an issue of billionaires becoming trillionaires and being able to buy hyper luxury goods. Good for them and good for the people selling and manufacturing those goods. Meanwhile poverty is in all time lows and there’s a gro

Worse is the auto-dubbing in some channels. Which cannot be disabled. That has resulted in me stopping to watch a channel completely due to the inability to select the original language (youtube mobile website).

The main issue is forcing that protection down the throat of whomever doesn’t want to be protected. Or in other words, believing that the government knows better than you on how you should live your life.

Instead of making something illegal, that might be perfectly acceptable for someone else, why don’t take a personal decision to stop using those services altogether? It’s very tempting to impose our own personal truths to everybody else’s v

I really don’t understand the argument that these subscriptions are just making the rich richer. In the first place why would that be a problem? If a company offers a good value and service for your money, isn’t it fair to compensate them f

I wouldn’t count Europe as a reference of a free market at all. Regulations and bureaucracy are rampant.

Not necessarily. EVs have also an almost perfect traction control due to immediate torque control by the electric motor, so it’s very difficult to spin wheels in situations of low traction, which reduces tire wear and emissions. On ICE cars

That is actually incorrect. What you call public funding has been before produced by private individuals or private companies. The State barely generates any money itself. And when it does in large amounts by printing new money it’s actuall

Indeed. For example in most cars, if you decide to use the navigation from Apple's CarPlay or Google's, the vehicle will not pre-heat the battery before charging. In my BMW EV we recently got an update and it's now possible t

Not only that. By increasing income taxes so steeply the State is incurring in perverse incentives or negative incentives, so people decide to not work a 20% more time to earn 20% more if that extra money is going to be taxed at a 50% rate.

The wealthy are likely paying more taxes than anyone else in absolute terms. But more taxes alone won’t fix the problems outlined in the article—namely, the misaligned incentives across different branches of the State and the shockingly low

Exactly. It creates perverse incentives. One of the main drivers for millions of humans to work harder is to leave a better economic situation for their children and grandchildren. You remove that incentive and the economy will tank immedia
