If GDP rises the country is not economically stagnating though.
If they were unaffordable they would not be selling. Don't underestimate just how much money people can conjure up. Most parents don't want to be buried with their money Egyptian pharaoh style.
The Netherlands is a culture of incredibly pragmatic people who when they see a problem think of ways to solve it. I find that in many different cultures nobody actually wants to talk about reality- painful,…
Building a data center in my country is so expensive only Microsoft and Google do it. The paperwork and environmental laws just aren't worth it.
Wait were does irrigation water come from in the US? They don't use tap water?
You cannot reduce tourism unless you literally stop the free movement of people, close the borders and prosecute airliners/cruise liners and train operators. Amsterdam has been bitching about visitors for decades but…
Well I am not against pardons but having a single person parsing them out instead of parliament/Congress reeks of the kingly powers that the Founding Fathers correctly opposed. But it is difficult to make a system…
Trump was famously elected as the big isolationist candidate and we know how that went...
A business has one boss who decides everything and is personally responsible if things go to shit. The employees pack up and leave to get another job. None of this is applicable to a government- unless any American…
I never understood the presidential pardon. It's like America is basically admitting it has no faith in their own justice system. Or want a cheat code to skip it lol.
None of the elected representatives have the balls to actually go after the DOD or the security apparatus. And that is assuming that they will actually get access to the budget anyway. Much easier to just gaslight…
The ability of people to completely absolve themselves from the actions of their government without doing a single iota to protest said government.
Have you seen how much 32gb ddr5 RAM costs these days? I used to be one of those people who didn't give a shit because I had a high end PC but tech is devolving.
Dutch people went all in on the dot com bubble. After that debacle Dutch citizens swore off the stock market for an entire generation despite economists literally begging folks to put their money back in (the…
Yeah this is it. You can make really nice datacenters that are basically quiet and environmentally perfect. This was never in dispute. But that is not how corporations roll. They want the cheapest shit that they can get…
They just hire philosophers because they are good at talking. They need to sell this shit to normal people, remember? Nobody is getting paid to search for the meaning of life.
Americans don't care because the elite will send their kids to private school and raise children in special elitist bubbles. The proles are allowed to amuse themselves to death.
Pay for teachers has ALWAYS been terrible. Governments are shit like that. But you know what teachers got? Respect. Teachers were part of the elite that ran the village.
Its a lot harder for poor or powerless people to have child sex orgies on yachts though.
Virtuous people become doctors, social workers or kindergarten teachers. People who spend their entire life in front of computers should not be the ones with the keys to society yet here we are.
If there were drug dealers selling meth outside schools we would not leave it up to parental responsibility.
Hamas is not the same as Palestinians. But I understand that Israeli soldiers need justification to shoot at children and raise houses- just as Germans needed justification for their genocide.
Highway patrol back when the regular police drove Beetles.
They did research on how many people you need to keep the human species alive. It was not ten billion.
I would want my kids to be happy. Who gives a shit about what job they have.
