Have they tried going back to before they were a crooked tax haven for unethical corporations?

1209 North Orange Street in Wilmington alone evades more tax than Ireland.

It's lovely to throw stones, but you're in the most delicate glasshouse of them all.

Partial agreement. I think that medication for mental illnesses is still essentially in the dark ages, and it's partially because they were not allowed to use the plants for research to determine what about them was effective, correctly engineer them into a standardised type, and work on the therapies to work best with them.

The physical point I don't agree with. In these instances, the effective plants have been researched and their mode of action has (generally) been determined. It is then possible to engineer them into higher and more consistent effectiveness in the human body, than the plants which essentially had an effect by random chance.

Live Carfree (from petrol) - 2.4
Petrol to hybrid - 0.52
Electric Car to Carfree - 1.15

Seems they left out a pretty large item in "switch from petrol to electric - 1.25"

Yes, its pretty rare to see any keyboard without at least latin letters

just normal Arabic?

Don't find that's true at all. Direct language is much preferred to this bullshit.

Hugely disagree. Most people can't build a tower which stands at all. In fact if they managed, I would say it's much more "barely standing" than the engineer's.

Both material factors and load factors are very well explained and grounded, they are not arbitrary. The problem is that they are too technical to explain to a non-engineer.

I don't agree on any of your points. You sound incredibly ignorant.

Nah, don't agree. They established a hierarchy of "good nationalities" to be and put others like Irish and Lithuanian below them.

What a fucking weird and racist post. "not even the Irish want to be Irish"

She's obviously such a sociopath that she generally only sees the positives of firing people

Dutty bussy

There isn't really any rehabilitation of his current image possible. It's not like he did one or two bad things he could apologise for, it was systematic and continuous. He's revealed himself to be a fascist which is pretty bad to begin with, but also a degenerate which repels even the fascists from liking him.

Yeah but you can't though. Like let's be real, you have 1bn, you're not Elon Musk or Bill Gates level - and even they would not be able to stop an angry Donald Trump

Okay, cool. Probably so do a lot of billionaires, at least from a pure pragmatic POV of them not wanting their skull cracked open. The point is that for a tiny portion of their wealth, they can insure against a lot of more realistic severe problems (unrest, riots, communism arising in the US, war, assassination, widespread famine), in addition to more extreme and less likely problems (doomsday, machine uprising, environmental collapse).

Frankly, were I a billionaire and able to see the choices Trump is making to make the average civilian in America jobless, penniless and hopeless, I would also be making a bunker in the wilderness or distant nation.

I don't think they necessarily "prefer" it. It's more just that they have what is an unimaginable amount of money in comparison to us, why not invest to preserve your long term survival?

They have already dealt with the normal shit the rest of us have to. They have a house, car, enough money for them and their families to never work again, to do whatever hobbies they like with no restriction.

If you are someone with a worth of a billion, this bunker development will cost something like 10m. That's 1% of your wealth. It would be the same as the median American spending $1920 in pure relative terms, but probably would have an effect more like $500 on their real finances (again, every other need has been financially met long, long ago)

200 tons is less than I would have expected honestly.

Hearing people younger than me talk about how their bodies are falling apart is surreal. I do basically the bare minimum in terms of nutrition, exercise a bit daily, and I feel basically the same as I did in my 20s. Maybe better even because I'm not underweight.

I mean the diesel engine department would probably be quite big for a company like Volkswagen. Each engine type has a team of engineers and a manager.
