@olifromsollly@art_jaguar@a_brns_ The economy benefits far more from people being out for a day spending on meals, drinks, bbqs etc rather than consultants making PowerPoint slides. The beauty is that you don’t even have to celebrate the World Cup win.
@WordMercenary It’s all part of the game. They get to appear impartial while he round for election uncontested. Once he’s back in office they turn a blind eye again
@DYREKTIONS@CPursall@tcanham459 Yeah but this isn’t beneficial either. Millions spent satisfyinging nimbys who’ll be mostly be dead before the line even opens rather than favouring the next generation who would just prefer a train line that runs
@martianwyrdlord I think the issue is that google or Apple aren’t actually against it. They love that they can do this and point at the government and say ‘they’re the bad guys’
@oshillex If your game takes up more space, it leaves less disk space for other games. That create an extra layer of friction before you play a different game
@AF_Goat@Ehler_Danlos Oh please. The original tweet looks at the chances Roma missed and asks ‘What If?’
The same logic applies to the remaining chances Liverpool missed.
We could also talk about the extremely soft penalties that kept Roma in the tie in the first place
@roborob15lp@stoolpresidente You’re missing the fact that price rises are a slippery slope. The ‘whats an extra $3’ mindset very quickly takes you into the Red Sox prices territory. Just because Americans love being milked for their entire net worth doesn’t mean the rest of the world does
@OutofGalaxyy Because more people are likely to pay extra for telephoto therefore making them more money. If telephoto was on the base device then theres far less reason to climb the cost ladder
@Rey19953@b_bbirddd Ultimately its rent /energy / food costs that hit the poor disproportionately relative to their income. Everyone needs to eat. A can of baked beans has gone from £0.75 to £1.40 in the last 5 years. (Up 86%) How many people can say their take home pay has increased by 86%?
@Rey19953@b_bbirddd Yes, smartphones are expensive, but a cheaper device doesn’t fix that. The cheaper phones don’t get software support for as long, effectively forcing an upgrade. You’re going to spend the £1000 either way, either in one hit, or in several smaller ones 2/
