  • Humanity loophole: you can pay people less if they're from prison.

    Jump

  • It's like having a boisterous sibling who makes bold claims and pumps you up, but when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is, they slink away with their tail between their legs. Or even, at times, rally with the other side.

    Sure, maybe we're idealistic. At least we follow through.

  • The two ways of fighting profiteering

    Jump

  • The knobs are "brushed stainless" plated plastic with plastic parts inside. It's possible Bosch is using higher quality materials, but this is the standard Bosch range knob that goes on all of their ranges, so I suspect it's made down to a price. They're injection molded parts that cost about a quarter a piece including parts and labor.

    The important parts of the knob are all inside the range. But still can cost as little as about 10 bucks for an OEM part and 15 minutes of repair work if one of those should break.

  • I was gonna bitch about it too but the cheaper Bosch ranges use the same knobs. It's an off the shelf part that Bosch is charging a ridiculous premium for.

  • Money, and liberals.

    California is liberal. Not left. Every once in a while some leftist proposition comes up that threatens money, and money always wins.

    When they say liberals are wolves in sheep's clothing, this is kinda what they're talking about. They care, they really care about their fellow man, as far as their comfortable standard of living allows.

  • There are nearly 3000 billionaires worldwide. Collectively they own 14 trillion in wealth.

    This is nearly double all of the wealth held by every other person in the world, combined.

  • I have some terrible news for you.

    People will continue to do that. It happens all over the world, one group calling something they've invented a "Spanish" this or "American" that.

    I've seen "American Pizza" served in Japan with hot dogs and corn and a bbq sauce. I've seen "Korean beef" as basically a spicy alternative to Mongolian beef. None of these dishes originate in the country they're named for, and the people from those countries would probably recoil at the thought of all of them.

    It's just a thing people do, have always done, and will continue to do.

    Why Trump Wants Greenland: Experts Reveal the Key Reasons

    Jump

  • Trump has no idea why he wants Greenland. Someone close to him is feeding him ideas, while feeding his ego.

    Greenland is set to become an economic producer in the future, but we have maybe a century before that even starts. I gotta think you're right, Greenland is a distraction from all the other bullshit. Keep them talking and no one will notice the really evil shit

  • What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?

    Jump

  • That, at present, is where the wealth is coming from.

    If the Fed just keeps printing money, eventually that too loses all value. It needs to actually be able to buy things. Sure it's backed by US securities and bonds, but if the US isn't capable of collecting taxes, because it's people aren't making any money and have started to barter amongst themselves, then they can issue all the bonds and bills they want and it won't mean a damn thing.

    Money is their only real leverage. They're racing to find the minimum amount of money they can give us and still maintain that leverage.

  • What's the endgame when the rich have all the money?

    Jump

  • There's a critical point in wealth disparity where money begins to lose value. As the amount of wealth that can be extracted from the working class dwindles and the people who have too little find other ways to barter with each other.

    Fun fact, we have already seen an early attempt at this. And while I think we're still a ways away, it's not exactly without precedent.

  • TIL you can pay $100 per night for Premium Jail with more comfortable conditions

    Jump

  • I went to American public School.

    I speak precisely one language, with maybe a passing interest in a few others. My wife doesn't even have that. Her job requires her to be able to communicate effectively. So that limits us to English speaking countries, Canada, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia. Of those, New Zealand and Ireland are tempting, though our careers aren't in high demand in either location.

    Emigrating to a country we'd buy be interested in would be expensive and time consuming, and we have neither the time nor the money to accomplish that. Not to mention our families and friends are all here. We both have decent careers here.

  • Eh you'd be fine. Doesn't really matter who's in the white house if you're just visiting. The president has very little actual impact on day to day life. Who's in the white house is a symptom of the health of a country, not a cause of it. And, like herpes, one symptom may subside but the country is still infected.

    What I'm saying is, if you wouldn't visit under trump, maybe reconsider visiting at all. Though I maintain that as a visitor you'd find the people you meet to be mostly polite and even kind, if maybe a little extra interested in you because you have an accent.

    Definitely don't fucking move here though holy shit what an awful mistake that would be. In fact, if you ever do visit take me back with you. I'm cool, I'm handy, I make a mean chili. My wife loves to garden you'd basically have no chores!
