Or complain about the people being scapegoated as an excuse to restrict those freedoms.

Productivity gains have all gone to the bosses. People are expected to do the work the 2 or 3 people would have done in the past. We could be getting on for 6 hours a day and a four day work week. But no, billionaires gotta buy another island somewhere.

He'd have been hanged.

I'd bet less than 5%.

If we're just going to call the Li a Chinese mile then a French Mile is exactly a kilometre.

Does pink make room temperature water taste like ice cold water?

Is this the one where they used footage of New York instead of London?

I just find one whole thing crazy. I live in a country where the head of state of the head is the church yet when it comes to politics religion is barely mentioned. The USA makes this whole noise about separating these things, and yet it seems to be elected you have to be (or at just be seen to be) a religious nut job.

Ah ok. So it only applies once elected?

I thought you guys had separation of church and state in your constitution?

For anyone else who's confused, this is VW workers in the USA. German VW workers are of course covered by IG Metall.

But think of the adventure we'll go on.

Or the IS video is a deep fake up out by the imperial west to try to cover up the Ukrainian terror attack.

If you live in my building it's fine for me to use your data. Err I'm not sure that's how GDPR works. But give it a go there chap.

We couldn't because we just put a series of interns on it.

As I said 'or prioritise keeping their properties filled'

The fact that the landlord is also getting an extra 1000 a month means they'll be less incentivised to put up the price. Also market forces, it'd just take a couple of landlords to have some morals, or prioritise having their properties filled to keep prices down.

With the restaurant example market forces again. If the shitty big chain restaurant put up their prices and the nice local restaurant didn't then suddenly they'll see more people going to them. It would also make it really easy for shitty chain B to undercut shitty chain A.

Then you also have the backup of government regulations and using tax systems to make it not viable to price gouge that way.

It's the same as people using the example of the Y2K bug being a non event. Yeah, because globally trillions of dollars were spent fixing it before it became an event.
