ELI5: Why is the greek economy so fucked?
ELI5: Why is the greek economy so fucked?
Somehow this is worse than Reddit. Sure Reddit isn’t good, but at least Reddit was sane enough to understand concepts like ‘working too much is deeply unhealthy both physically and mentally’ and ‘corporations should not hold absolute power’
In the interest of transparency, I don’t know if this guy is telling the truth, but it feels very plausible.
Alright, that one was pretty clever lmao
Holy shit, this is a REALLY misleading headline.
if it was just him quitting, that would be terrible; it would be an anti-war person giving up their power to legally obstruct the war.
It’s “his opposition National Unity party will withdraw from the coalition government”. Unless this article is missing something, wouldn’t breaking up the coalition just basically completely paralyse Israel??
Holy fuck. I knew that AI did use above average amounts of power, but THIRTY FUCKING PERCENT added to the total emissions of a data giant like Microsoft??? That’s absurd! How the hell did they create something so inefficient??
Yeah, I love my local pizza place and I’m on good terms with the owner, but the prices have gone up enough that I’ve set a hard limit of only going there once a month, and there are some menu items that I explicitly just will not buy because they’re so overpriced.
Cost frankly does define my dietary habits. The number one reason that I don’t decide to grab the odd piece of vegan chicken to put in a bagel is because it costs 50% more than regular chicken.
SATIRE! ONION NO IT’S MEANT TO BE SATIRE!
Ah yes, the crime of trying to keep your nation free and alive through appropriate defensive measures. How truly dastardly (/s)
Honestly this might be the single most pathetic threat that I’ve seen in a long time. Is it even a threat? Publicity stunt? Honestly I don’t know or care, because we all know this statement means about as much as a Trump tweet.
Can confirm, if the trains ran early enough for me to take one to work then I definitely wouldn’t have a car right now.
Kind of insane how badly our rail network (and postal service) has degraded, apparently it used to be really good, like five times faster than it currently is. Alas… Fucking Tories got their hands on them.
Ben Wallace may be a Tory (very bad), but as far as Tories go, he’s the only one I’m aware of with the ability to actually focus on his job. I’ve never heard anything about him or from him apart from the occasional update on Ukraine, and for that, I’ll at least go so far as to say: I don’t think he’s a clown. He is a strong contender for the Most Competent Tory.
Shoutout to Deviantart, they a real one
Very informative, thank you.
You can kind of see how all these problems would compound with each other and make each other worse. Of course people don’t wand to pay taxes to a government that will waste or embezzle their money. But the government does need money to make things happen that might improve the situations of the everyday worker. The government needs competent administrators, lawmakers and judges to properly regulate the private sector, but the private sector can pay a competent person triple what the government pays because the private sector isn’t subject to laws that force them to be ethical.
Guess there’s a reason that corruption is such a common cause of failed governments.
