It’s a different culture altogether, where a job is expected"for life", which also makes it difficult to quit a job. People are literally hiring other people to deliver their resignation notices because it’s impossible to do in person.
It’s going to fluctuate a lot on it’s way down.
The people who bought it for a high price will also buy at lower prices to get a better average in total. These kinds purchases will increase the price for no other reason and self fulfill the option to sell the total at a slightly higher average than rock bottom. It’s a (risky) way to cut the losses. Many people are probably still holding on to the overpriced stocks. With these things combined, existing investors can maintain an artificial high price. However, unless new investors start buying, it’ll slowly but steadily lose value over time as existing investors manage to seep out.
You could use your ticket money to pay off your mortgage, so all of your spendings are costing you the same interest at minimum.
So if you have a mortgage, you’re not supposed to buy anything until the house is paid off?
Assembly is not enough.
It’s not just a tariff, and it’s also not just a single row list of tariffs on countries or products or whatever.
The tariff tables are multi dimensional. Each product has it’s own table of rates. Besides country and product type, there’s a dimension of how it’s assembled/manufactorered and potentially if it’s part of some sort of special agreements etc.
“The tariff” is basically a worldwide database of product information.
There are actually very few products that are fully produced in any one country. This is mostly agricultural or raw ressources. All other products are said to be manufactorered from different countries. The country of origin in that case is the last country in which the product significantly changed value from being manufactorered locally and it requires a facility to do so. Slapping a sticker on something is not enough.
Anyway, the tariff tables take all that into account. It’s very naive to think you can legally bypass this system simply by leaving a product in your neighbors garden before bringing it home.
You don’t have to waste your time doing that for fun. Plenty of people in logistics get paid well for doing just that, and if they can’t find the loophole, there is very little chance that you’ll find it described online.
Country of origin.
That’s the plan anyway. As far as I know they haven’t done it yet, but testing is planned for 2027.
I’m not sure if larger scale is the goal of thorium reactors. The benefit of using thorium is that it is safe to use and available everywhere.
The companies that are researching it here in Denmark are aiming at making smaller reactors the size of shipping containers, so that they can be deployed anywhere needed.
Sure, scaling by quantity is also scaling, but the point is that if they can make one that is financially viable, then they can also make a hundred or thousands of them. In that case, large nuclear reactors will be obsolete.
Put them in self drive mode towards Moscow.
It’s a slippery slope.
Sure, nobody likes the Russians right now, but it also applies to other immigrants and refugees from elsewhere.
In Denmark a right wing party suggested something similar. They know fully well that immigrants don’t vote for them, and they’d love nothing more than to remove their political representation and eventually remove them from our welfare too.
I’d definitely be wary of who and why they want to remove voting rights for certain tax payers.
You can’t just drive around and vote everywhere . You’ll need permanent residence.
EU citizens are allowed to live and work anywhere in EU, so by default they are also allowed to vote in their municipality where they live. info
I don’t know if the following applies everywhere, but where I live this also includes people from outside EU, if they are allowed to live here permanently.
National elections require citizenship.
SEPA is not instant. It’s still one day as standard.
You can’t use SEPA to pay in the grocery store, because the cash register has no way to confirm your payment until tomorrow. That’s the thing cards and various apps like WERO solve currently.
Most of these apps are tied to a traditional card, but some are tied directly to the bank account and some can do both.
Anyway, the independence from American software is still far away, since most people will be using Android or iOS to use those apps…
The people who pay taxes don’t have extra money to pay extra taxes, so they will not be able to pay extra taxes and no extra tax will be collected.
Nobody benefits.
Oh yes it’ll go on for a long time and might never return to the previous state.
American products got world wide recognition in a time when USA was the peak of western culture, technology and quality.
With or without tariffs and boycotts, people everywhere in the world will once again have to question if they even want America products. This doesn’t go well with the increased consumer awareness that is happening everywhere else but in USA.
UK turning down clorinated American chickens is the funniest thing today, like eew brother, eew what’s that?
Maybe Americans should consider not paying taxes in the first place.
Never mind the money. Think about this: Is the American lifestyle self-sustainable?
No? Why not?
Because they use more than they produce? Yes, and where do those things come from?
Imports? Yes.
Trump litteraly put a stop to the American lifestyle.
It would be nice to know if he’s even alive.
CS:GO is the best we can do. It’s a EU decision. Can’t change it now.
This was a topic in 2016, where Trump was all over keeping the coal workers in jobs. How many coal workers does actually USA have? Go ahead, look it up. Also look up how many he saved.
When I last did, I found that there were about 40 000 people employed in coal related jobs in USA, and he didn’t save a single one of them. The coal employment decreased during his term and ever since.
Every year, there are more than 3 million people born in USA. All of those will need a job in 18-25 years or so. Every year, 3 million people will be looking for a job. If the unemployment queue is increased by all the 40k coal employees being laid off at once, you would hardly notice it in the statistics.
I also looked up the Finnish companies. They gradually laid off 400 people from 2022 until today based on the decision to stop the coal power plants. It’s completely neligable. They can easily do other jobs. Even in the same industry, just not coal.
The whole talking point is a nothing-burger.
The freight prices need to be changed. It’s unacceptable low.
It’s just not reasonable to get free shipping when buying “dollar store” items from the opposite side of the globe in individual packages. The environment is paying for this shit.
