If an Englishman uses 'soccer' he's almost certainly from the upper class.

As “soccer” was played by the elite (such as the Oxford lad who is said to have coined “soccer”), it soon spread to the working classes, and became “football”.

Australia. Here's a tidbit on the cherry ballart.

There are broadly 150 indigenous language groups but only about 14 are still in common use.

If you've worked for a single company/system for 7 years you get a bonus 6 weeks 'long-service' leave.

We have a native cherry that grows inside out called a cherry ballart.

Our cuisine is really varied depending on your geography with a lot of soth East Asian influences. Most people will make stir-fry reasonably often and we have our own variations of sushi and dim sum which would offend most Japanese or Chinese people.

I really have no interest in Michael Lewis. He only writes about people he likes and usually fails to analyse their actions critically.

My guess. Dud was just totally disconnected from reality. He isn't that smart and didn't understand how badly he'd fucked up.

Yeah I agree.

Gold star content. I don't know why but this reminded me of my experience playing Sudden Strike for the first time.

Mmmhmm I know some of those words. Chan boards always make me feel like such a Normie.

What a ridiculous edgelord.

Disgusting

"...we are the citizens that make up the government that designs the governance rules for our nation-state."

No we're not. We only have the illusion of control where we are allowed to vote on how to tinker with the outer edges of a system that is in reality controlled by 0.1% of the population.

Isn't that what people have been saying for decades? Yet the 'economic miracle of Japan' just keeps rolling.

Oh wow that's insane to leave those essentials out of the calculation.

Shit isn't good here either, energy costs increased by 20-25% in just a quarter, homelessness rising, wages have fallen in real terms over the last two decades while company profits have soared, renting is out of reach of most young people while the older generation is retiring with multiple homes. The share of GDP that goes into people's pockets is literally the opposite of what it was in the 1950s.

Why aren't people taking a closer look at Japan? Their inflation rate is down 929% from last year, without adjusting the cash rate.

Why is it that the EU, UK, Canada, NZ, USA and Australia all keep trying to reach the same goal of suppressing demand until unemployment is high enough for prices to fall. It's insane.

What I was basing my observation on: https://theconversation.com/japan-has-gone-its-own-way-on-fighting-inflation-can-nz-learn-from-a-global-outlier-210618

You can guess which will get more attention once in power, neo liberal economic changes or immigration and climate change.

I didn't realise that.
