Agree with this. The > the organization the > the big brother dystopia. Big corps that say use outlook will ask for admin permissions on your cell which include delete access, reading media, etc if you want to use teams/outlook. So i never opt in. Probably good for work life bal. They can call me in emergencies.

so long and income exceeds or keeps up with inflation growth, it doesn't matter


Right, then: 1910 normal salary was 200-400 (say 300), if 97% of value of the dollar was lost in 2026 the normal salary should be 6666 - 13333 (say $10 000)


Yup. SAP and their glorious idocs with german acronyms


In a modern money/fiat money regime, the federal government can afford anything in nominal terms. As such, the solution would be to subsidize the industries that make the most sense for standard of living and national security so they can participate in the market. Use government subsidies to offset the costs of environmental remediation .


Do they let anyone pick for free ?


Plenty of orange trees in public places, plenty of abandoned groves around and a handful of eco-fincas where you can pick for next to nothing.


Got some addresses? I know Ecovinyassa, but they don’t let you pick.


Its a thing. Living in hurricane alley, I see it all the time. Lines at gas stations, grocery stores, hardware stores. My strategy is to wait till the 11th hour after supply trucks have restocked everything and shop in peace.stores are open, quiet , sparsely trafficed, usually stocked up at this point. Works every time


Absolutely false. Worse case is dollar going down. Interest rates are exogenous and controlled by the fed who can buy all the treasuries in the world at a moment's notice. The treasury securities held by China are their problem . Not the US's.


There is no proof that higher interest rates lead to greater unemployment. In fact, macro employment kind of boomed during the referenced period. I'd posit that higher rates actually boosted macro employment stats . Why ? Because higher rates = higher income to rich people via interest income channel = higher fed budget deficits ( gov is net payer of interest) = higher GDP = lower unemployment ceterus paribus.


This is completely backwards. When interest rates are high, the expected returns of equity investments have to be even higher to justify the risk over risk-free fixed income assets.

And that's only the indirect effect on equity funding; debt funding just directly becomes more expensive.


a tech mentor once told me what makes a developer great is not how good or talented he is but how good he makes those around him be.


I have a gf in Goias brazil . She told me that she was mugged 7 times for her cell phone years ago . Then a new governor came along and began a policy of. allowing police to execute dangerous criminal gang members rather than arrest them. Now the area is considered one of the safest regions. He's rummored to have presidential ambitions. Guess there is a breaking point when crime and corruption gets to a point where people just have had enough and only want results Justice be dammed.


Any sources for the shoot-to-kill policies?


Loads. This wasn't a secret policy:

> “The police will do the right thing: Aim at their little heads and fire! So there is no mistake”
