@thealepalombo It’s has potential, but to be honest, the heat this summer has been unbearable. And for some reason, after 5 years here I have found it a very lonely experience living here, as many just come, stay a year and leave 🤔

@thealepalombo We live in Milano, where things are messy, although they are trying, but I hate how slow It is! Would you say a move to Rome is now recommended?

If you only speak English, and only follow English-language news, how can you claim to understand what’s really happening in another country, let alone be an authority on it?

@marclou 4 years I lived there and I loved it! It was amazing, but us non-Kiwis see it very differently than the locals. If money is not a concern, and you don’t travel much, it’s perfect.

[Paul Arnesen @paularnesen]

@levelsio Anecdotal. None of friends growing up ever talked about becoming rich, that was never the goal, the goal was/is a comfortable life. 75% of my childhood friends are self employed, not to be rich, but for the flexibility it gives and the quality of life that gives. 🇳🇴

@0x_ale «Great» for nurses, plumbers, and other local workers making ~€1000/month! Even top doctors earn less than the average tech worker. Be mindful of locals and give back. I lived there 4 years, and it slowly felt like they were being left out of the booming investments.

@dannypostma Same thing happens also on LinkedIn. When you have to authenticate LinkedIn to read something when you click a link, it’s a red flag 🚩

WFH gave families a glimpse what flexibility gives and maybe even thinking about more kids without falling into financial ruin. Now it’s back to the office. No flexibility, and rising costs. How does the U.S. expect people to help with the decline in babies born? @elonmusk?

@levelsio You’re looking for a add to cart solution for saunas for individuals in Portugal?? Any reasonable entrepreneur would not see the benefit to build, host, monitor and service such for the 0.1%. This is a B2B product in a relationship based culture and you should approach it such.

@visegrad24 Not true. Ridiculous to say Italians no longer go there 🤣 I live there, @visegrad24 journalists don’t 🙄

[Paul Arnesen @paularnesen]

@RepMariaSalazar @elonmusk How many STEM graduates in the U.S. are unemployed or underemployed? With ~700k STEM grads/year and assuming a 40-year workforce, that’s ~28 million STEM-educated people in the U.S. Do we really have a shortage, or is it a placement problem?

@DMichaelTripi Is it surprising that the guy who axed Twitter’s staff in weeks and fights unions thinks H-1Bs are perfect? It’s corporate convenience at its finest.

[Paul Arnesen @paularnesen]

@ContraireSous Level 1 isn’t unskilled, it’s entry-level for specialized roles, still requiring degrees. And even Level 2 (34%) or 3 (50%) wages can significantly undercut market rates for mid/senior workers. The system often prioritizes minimum compliance over true labor cost parity.

[Paul Arnesen @paularnesen]

Let's look at this whole H-1B debate going on.

Why do companies hire immigrants for specialised roles in the US? Let’s break down the economics and incentives behind H-1B. 🧵
