I love that fifth pillar „Owning Class.“ It’s often not mentioned in such overviews but reveals most of the power structures im out world.
Would be interesting to have an additional row of „Life Happiness“ Being super-rich doesn’t mean being super-happy in your life.
I‘m not sure how GDP is measured for an international company such as Google. Does the entire Revenue count cos the HQ sits in the US? Or is the license fees that it pays to Bahama‘s (in order to avoid taxes) is substracted from the US GDP? Does somebody know how that is measured?
I think it came up like this: Saudi king at his last visit at Chinese Wall. „Uw, one can see it from the space? That’s awesome.“ At home: „Servants, build something as big as the Chinese Wall that is visible from the space, so everyone sees how great I am.“
One of the few countries that never have been colonized by the West.
Go out and plant a tree. I’ve done mine 10 years ago.
Reminds me on medieval houses in Europe. This on is in Amsterdam
I just learned: In ancient times the government paid money to their citizens to get their fellowship. Only conquered countries had to pay taxes.
And in ancient times in Mesopotamia, there have been quite regular debt reset events. All private debts got null. Commercial debts still were valid.
I‘m currently reading „Debt“ by David Graeber. Interesting to read how religion, money, guilt and debt are intertwined. How we are forced into the rat race by burden us with debts - with both, moral and financial debts.
German here. Same shit with house prices here. Unbelievable expensive. Netherlands, Denmark, Swiss, France all the same. All out of the cheap money/ interests thanks to Lehmans & broker bros.
The only country where housing is affordable is China. They built way too many apartment buildings. Entire ghost towns. People are fucked there as well though. Standard people lost a lot of money. Crazy world.
I have this one https://www.conrad.de/de/p/digitus-dn-94022-netzwerk-werkzeug-set-passend-fuer-netzwerk-spezifikationen-cat-cat-5e-cat-6-cat-7-2335586.html It’s very basic and I miss nothing. I needed those 4 tools. Had set up my network at home with flush-mounted Cat sockets, self crimped cat-cables (consider CAT 6A and S/FTP shielding) by help of YT videos. You don’t need to throw gold on those tools. Better invest in good cable and connectors. Not sure if I seriously use them again to that extend.
Edit: And check the network speed of your cables. It was quite surprising how very little tweaks had big impact on overall speed. Sometimes I didn’t even know why and crimped it anew.

May be this setup?
Last point made me smile. Good one
Oh this sounds familiar for a German in Ruhr area. This area is strongly undermined by coal mines. Imagine LA with many levels of cellars under it. Down to even 1000mtrs.
Ruhr area sunk down year on year for around 100 years now. Many buildings would get drowned by natural ground water if there wouldn’t be pumps. These pumps are supposed to run forever. It’s financed by a fund of the coal mines and called “Eternal fund” Last coal mine closed 2018.
No it’s a self verification. Bots always write correctly and never intimidate, you fuckas.
Indeed. Now, publically available for every governmental police. Not the US only. Even Iranian or Saudi police. Hey wait, don’t they punish family members of political enemies?
Seriously, once there were police men at my door asking for a DNA test by free will. There was a rape in my county and they asked every male. I wondered who‘s going to be that stupid and handing over police your DNA. Once its stored in a database…
Captain Obvious was hiding for a while. Now, he runs with your most personal data. Even your kids will thank you in coming years for whatever behavior, diseases, IQ or political preferences will be found to be rooted in genomic data. The world will know theirs.
Edit: Oh, and you‘ll help your family members to be jailed, if somehow involved in criminal acts.
You are very fast in throwing bad words. Poor style kid
I just adjusted to your style of writing: Shouting around that this doesn’t make sense. Full stop. No more, no less.
I answered it does make sense. Full stop. And gave you hints how to get it by yourself.
However, you need to invest some brain thoughts by yourself. I‘m not teaching you every little aspect of generations and why they named as is. I would but not in your style of shouting. What is this lazy social media attitude? Or just bad style?
It’s not arbitrary. Just take a good history book, look out for the years and try to think why that year was chosen. You might even look if the generation time spans are different in the US and Europe.
Sure, and the successor won’t become corrupt when owners, industrials and richs hand over some envelopes to make things faster. Two years and 8 envelopes later, he will take it as all his peers do as well.
