@ekierklo@SpencerHakimian Partly due to the impression we in Europe have that US makes are really not as well designed or reliable as local manufacturers.
@dalonnas_60@ZelenskyyUa I wouldn't be drawing attention to Alaska right now, lady. Nice lot of energy reserves you're sitting on. If Ukraine falls, Alaska is soon behind. Putin is laughing at you all. Shame Donny Slump is alienating Canada. That's your escape route gone!
@TraderDiMauro@elonmusk "The expansion was ended due to a federal surplus that decreased net financial assets."
Trying to get my head around your thoughts. This statement seems to contradict the rest. You state here that the recession was caused by the federal surplus?
@Frozley@RobertMSterling UK based here but I see exactly the same issues. Cheaper to pay for mediocre delivery on short/medium term assignments (that have to be sanity-checked throughout) than hire full-price permies.
@RokoMijic Not sure if this is already covered in the many many responses so far but a proportion of this 'GDP per head' goes to the owners of the assets generating the GDP. That's the fundamental point of capitalism. The more they receive, the less left for everyone else - govt or workers
@JohnKBarden @NancyMathieson The land will be bought by corporations who can (already do) pay a premium over real people, 'new farmers'. Corporations sit on the land for multiple reasons. End result is UK food production centralised into fewer hands / reduced output. Bad food security.
@Alonso_GD@Marikacobbold Arab states told their fellow Arabs to leave the area or be treated as collaborators. They were asked to stay by 'Israel' and help build the new state but many left. Some stayed and these are now the Arab Israeli population enjoying democratic benefits, jobs and a voice.
@DeborahMeaden If they're that fickle then one wonders how much they truly have to contribute.
Also, rather keen for property prices to fall to levels where ordinary working people can afford them.
