@WillShetterly@cjsnowdon They didn’t. Quite the contrary. Russia still only has the GDP of Benelux and a living standard below most western countries.
China did not develop economically until they instituted capitalist policies.
And Burundi crushed by extreme authoritarian corruption.
@GroovySciFi Many companies would simply move abroad or to other states if these wages were actually normal in NYC.
Unless the service needs to be localized, then the profit incentive would cause companies to move main activities elsewhere.
@troubleonsystem@GroovySciFi A lot of these interviews are staged.
Only around 1.4 million people earn 300k or more in the entire US.
Even in NYC only around 3-4% of all individuals have an income of 300k or more.
So it is quite rare to earn on that level, even in one of the highest income cities.
@nmilesof@cafreiman And that, of course, is speaking from your vast experience of living in several different US states and across Northern Europe I assume?
Or maybe you have a lot of acquaintances that have moved to Northern Europe and they explained how poor they became after moving.
It's Day 2 and we demand @AmazonMGMStudio to either...
1) Let the Stargate creators make a new show
2) Release the rights so fans can do it
And no, Hammond won't take your silence as an answer
@MichaelAArouet The post is just idiotically untrue.
For a Danish couple the combined retirement benefits are around 45.000$ per year for a couple, rising to almost 60.000$ a year without private pensions.
Also the US figures are for the highest earners and not the average
Kære Lars,
Lige nu står du over for et afgørende valg. Troels Lund Poulsen, Mona Juul og jeg selv har fremlagt en politisk ramme for en fremtidig regering, der i meget høj grad flugter med det, du og Moderaterne er gået til valg på:
En offensiv reformpolitik, der øger velstanden med 60 milliarder kroner og arbejdsudbuddet med 30.000 personer frem mod 2035.
Helt ærligt: Du kunne jo have skrevet store dele af det selv.
Og ja, der er meget, vi to er uenige om, og der er selvsagt også elementer i planen, som ikke er LA’s kop te. Men sådan er kompromisets kunst, og vi ved trods alt begge, at Danmark har brug for en ambitiøs økonomisk reformpolitik.
Og danskerne har brug for ansvarlige politikere, der indgår kompromiser om de store udfordringer, vi står over for. Ikke et uværdigt politisk cirkus, der reelt handler om ministerposter i stedet for at give danskerne den friske start, de i den grad trænger til og fortjener.
Lige nu kan du tilvælge et kompromis, som både gør Danmark markant stærkere i en usikker tid, og som vi begge ved involverer flere af Moderaternes mærkesager, end du nogensinde får igennem med Mette Frederiksen og Enhedslistens hovedbestyrelse.
Alternativet er fortsat stagnation og rød misundelsespolitik i bytte for regeringsdeltagelse baseret på den yderste venstrefløjs stemmer.
Så simpelt er det. Nu er tiden kommet til at vise, at Moderaterne handler om noget – og ikke nogen.
Kære Lars: Valget er dit.
@theMakarioz American police is hilariously bad. Like, there is no threat, why escalate?
The situation could be solved by calling back up and telling the parents that resisting arrest on top of battery results in felony charges and jail time. Use the people around you to deescalate.
@CHoward02609017@KalimVerbatim@BasedMikeLee “History teacher? Mussolini was a Marxist socialist who edited Avanti!, rose in the Italian Socialist Party, and was expelled for supporting WWI. Fascism was explicitly a ‘third way’: revolutionary, anti-liberal, statist, born from syndicalist heresy, not traditional right!
@KalimVerbatim@BasedMikeLee I suggest a thorough self-Education, should you want to learn instead of trading links on the internet.
Young Mussolini and the Intellectual Origins of Fascism by A. James Gregor is a great place to start.
I can suggest other titles, should you have an interest to learn.
@KalimVerbatim@BasedMikeLee AI uses wiki and Reddit. Do not trust it.
Originally fascism sprung from socialism and had many of the same characteristics. State run economy, centralized control and conformity requirements.
The tactics the fascists used are eerily similar to what ANTIFA does today.
Jacob Neestrup er fyret som cheftræner i FC København efter en katastrofal dårlig Superliga-sæson, der ender i bund seks for løverne. Klubben har i stedet ansat en anden træner med et stort hjerte for klubben i Bo Svensson, som senest var i Union Berlin. https://t.co/bnSIJKvcci
@Kim28791@petervilsoe1@martincollignon Du har ikke ret. Du bliver ved med at holde fast i noget, der ikke passer. LA’s folketingsmedlemmer kommer overvejende fra middelklassen – præcis som hos SF og Socialdemokratiet.
Nogle gange er det bedre at kravle ned fra træet end at save videre i den gren, man selv sidder på.
@BrightInsight6 Time is a factor everyone seems to forget.
If you are willing to have a single project take 10.000 workers 50+ years then almost anything is possible
In the modern world we are just not used to project lasting more than a couple of years.
@wendyp4545 Are you people drunk or just plain stupid? This was ALWAYS the agreement. The US had 30 bases in Greenland at one point. Denmark is one of your closest allies.
You buying mineral rights and having alle the presence you wanted was always on the table.
Jesus…
