@PalmerLuckey The best bang for the buck? Educate people on living healthy lives. Europe will eventually adapt to the rising temperatures, even though it'll take longer than we like.
@PalmerLuckey I'm in the EU heatwave.
Yes, it's definitely super-hard for many people.
So, should installing AC everywhere in EU be the #1 priority?
I'm not so sure. Why? โฌ๏ธ
@PalmerLuckey There will be other high-stress events throughout the year. The autumn flu period is often just as deadly as this heat wave. These events tend to impact the same groups of people.
@PalmerLuckey Smartly built homes without A/C fare quite well. Worst is being in a crowded city, without trees and rivers, near street level. If the rich start using AC, they'll make heat worse for the rest.
This is insane. Czechia used to be similar but recently ESOP rules got much better - taxed on sale. (Thanks to lobbying by https://t.co/ALE8slVLxH)
And, it's tax regime can be great for founders and investors:
If you hold private company shares for over 5 years or public shares for over 3 years, you pay no tax on the sale, regardless of your residency status.
Great explanation of one of the biggest issues in Europe and why they can't build startups is they can't recruit early talent and compete with American startups by paying them stock options because the taxing of them means it makes no sense to take European stock options so you better take the American startup offer (or the European startup just incorporates in America)!
@visegrad24 Shows ordinary Russians that this war is not just something far away. Some will wake up and start asking questions. They won't like the answers. More angry Russians = higher chance of a putsch.
