@Liandrium nice catch!

@Divs_King C’est une question de baseline. Tu nais en France, tu grandis et tu apprends vite qu’on taxe. En tant qu’individu tu ne questionnes peu ou pas qqch qui est dans ton environment des le départ

@shravvmehtaa I am waiting for the trend when people will stop taking pictures with their phone but with their toothbrush. There will be a few people.

@aheroforourtime @rubenhume blackberry classic was the best form - OS compatibility was terrible and the chip was slow though.

@mich33430 @AdresanSoso J’ai pas compris à l’époque du Covid pourquoi la France n’avait pas refinancé sa dette lorsque les taux étaient très bas.

@PaulSkallas Two guys wrote a book called The Sovereign Individual and it's exactly this topic which is covered. And it was written in 1999... States are a old system, an old idea, it's global now.

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

The last super El Niño erased $5.7 trillion from the global economy. The World Bank's official damage estimate was $45 billion. The undercount was more than 100x, and the one forming right now is forecast to be stronger.

In 1998, coffee and cocoa harvests failed, rice crops drowned, and grocery prices jumped worldwide. Peru's fishing industry collapsed in a single season. California got a month of nearly nonstop rain, with mudslides taking out entire neighborhoods. Insurance premiums in flood zones never came back down.

The same movie is loading now. Forecasters are calling for atmospheric rivers slamming California, ice storms from Texas across the Southeast, a strangely warm Canadian winter, and supercharged Pacific typhoons. Cocoa, coffee, and rice futures already started moving in May. Your chocolate bar and your morning coffee are the first places you'll feel a Pacific Ocean running 3 degrees hot.

And the pain outlasts the weather. Dartmouth tracked economies for a decade after each event and found the damage compounds for up to 14 years, because money that would have gone to growth goes to rebuilding instead. That's how a "$45 billion disaster" quietly became $5.7 trillion.

The strange part is how visible this is. Earthquakes give zero warning. Hurricanes give days. This one gave the world months, with odds climbing from 22% in March to above 90% now.

The most predictable trillion-dollar event on Earth, and almost nobody has changed a single plan.

@BoringBiz_ And pick the right country too. Some countries have stagnant salaries, underpaid engineers. Even if you are an outlier and you’re good at your job, it’s gonna be hard to get a high salary.

@OuranosMK De part la taille de notre population, tu vas forcément avoir un volume important de gens ayant la meme fixette sur un sport, donc le meme Toy Story s'applique a peu près tout.

@maynkydvv the worst - it lasts one month, you think about it for 5 years.
