A short boost from tax breaks to convince rich people to move there doesn’t make the place financially successful or livable. It just looks better for a bit.

Religion is mostly to blame, but I think some of those religious teachings have been integrated into institutions and secular society as well. Notions that self gratification is a treat and not a need, the perception of masturbation that it’s some teenage boy temporary phase and not for women or older married men. The idea that it can’t be a social activity at all, even though it’s free and safer than drugs.
Oh you want to talk crimes against humanity by the state? Well let’s see just off the top of my head…
China has issues for sure, but let’s not pretend like the United States achieved it’s world power status with hugs. They sat out WW2 till they had a war machine, and now that war machine is too significant a part of it’s economy and power base to let there not be war so they start them all over the place to keep the party going.
You first, buddy.
Funny cause I’ve been 100% behind the abortion of Mitch McConnell for years.
You guys have money??
I’ve been working my arse off my entire adult life and have nothing to show for it but debt and long term illness.
I’m self employed and have been reducing my hours worked per day cause I found I was more effective with a good rest and without forcing myself to work those extra 1-2 hours each day. Crazy hey.
Hey that’s not fair - he invents his own narrative about reality all the time.
He’s technically correct - the Taiwanese government are the legitimate government of China living in exile from the Communist Party’s violent take over.

In order to determine the best before you’ll need to solve the emo’s riddle.
Ironic given they all bankrolled and fought for what is creating said instability…
It’s also about who you know not what you know. The opportunity to get wealthy is only given to those the older wealth approve of. All the biggest names in tech built their monopolies on VC dollars.
I was deprived of a school psychologist. Australia has been giving these religious nutjobs free reign for decades now.
Yeah that’s actually a very good suggestion.
Also interested in Germany as even diminished today it’s got a lot more in line with my and my partner’s values - namely sausage, beer and being anti Nazi.
Show me where in the Western world / developed world where to go… please.
I’m in Australia and it’s just as bad here. Totally insane bullshit being normalised by a comatose media and populist scoundrels.
I miss the days when conservatives at least had a sense of real nationalism. Now they’ll commit treason and openly support foreign enemies like Putin and no one bats an eye.
My inner Professor Farnsworth is disappointed it’s not called Zuzu…
I really hate this venture capitalist led tech startup culture. I would like to see an engineer and expertise led tech startup culture. It’s infuriating to see people putting the cart before the horse for “smrt ekonomikz” meanwhile genuine good ideas go by the wayside, unfunded.
Imagine if some of this money just went into the open source community. Whose work powers most of the modern world.
I know I’m a just a dreamer but I’m not the only one.
This type of sowing discord is well in line with Putin’s playbook and there’s evidence of Russian intelligence being involved.
At recent protests the farmers are even mentioning Putin by name, giving further credence to such theories.
