@Corpfessions Unfortunately true. A friend is a Silicon Valley finance director and says core corporate functions are being outsourced - getting rid of $170k/year accountants for Indian $17k/year accountants, but they have no clue what they’re doing. Cost go down, and their stock goes up.
@Owennfa I lived there and the quality of life is much better. Yes, taxes are higher, but after you’ve paid for healthcare insurance and all the BS in America, the worker in Denmark has more money left in their pocket.
@davidsirota That’s definitely not true in other countries. They build new bridges to make your commute shorter. New high speed rail to both speed transit, and make roadways less congested. They have national healthcare, so their life expectancy is higher than ours.
@Megatron_ron The ICC and similar international bodies were created as a colonial tool to wield power in Africa and the Global South, not to meddle in “Western” countries.
@Mr_Husky1 $0 tip on takeout. Tip on service. Tip for a delivery. Do people tip when buying milk and eggs from a grocery store? Just last night I had this option when the tip screen came up. No way!
@KobeissiLetter “Official” numbers are created by loyalists, does anyone still believe them? Look at housing and mortgage rates. We’re already starting a depression.
@Megatron_ron What if someone criticizes Slovakia? Or Paraguay? Aren’t those countries important too? Or is it because the US is not a colony of Slovakia?
@skumWgmi Taxing asset wealth, like a house, is fine for peasants. People don’t want to tax the assets of billionaires, so we need to make up the balance of the taxes collected.
@madebyolah Executives and shareholders must have profit increases year over year. With our closed, protected markets, foreign options that aren’t ripping off consumers won’t be allowed - so we can be ripped off.
@MailaMariaRosa There wouldn’t be hijabs everywhere in Europe if the U.S. didn’t destroy: Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Lebanon, etc. Get ready for a new wave of Muslims from Iran.
