I doubt it’s acurate. I find it hard to believe only 1% of the rest of the population are millionaires.

TBF if they want to move their wealth to a tax haven in the Caribbean and pay to relocate me as a customer, I wouldn’t object too much.
Me too and I’m kinda looking forward to it.
Let them go. They’ll struggle to leave with their telecommunication lines and their football clubs and their factories and their farmlands. Rich people leaving doesn’t have to mean wealth leaving.
Depends if you’re hungry.
I’m not a computer person but my understanding is that this it’s what bricked my MacBook a long time ago. It worked perfectly fine. Not the fastest at seven years old but it was fine. Then along came a Google Chrome update with uncapped the RAM usage. Suddenly 8gb ram wasn’t enough to do anything. Nothing else worked if the browser was open and I needed to multitask. Chrome was the only browser compatible with work software. Had to get another machine about a week later (not a Mac, that time).
If having an onboard computer makes it that dangerous, it shouldn’t be on the road at all!
Or breakroom, by the sound of it.
I’ve probably complained about this on here before. But my local supermarket put these wide, low newsstands by the doors. It causes a bottleneck by the exit. I assume it’s a loss prevention measure.
Maybe it works? It didn’t prevent losing me as a customer. I can’t be bothered navigating all the people who don’t look up between the till and the obstacle, walk right up to it, and then struggle to fit through the gap.
The next place I went to stopped me twice at the self checkout store scanning thing saying that I was ‘randomly’ checked. (Mask on, sunglasses, hood up was almost certainly the issue. Either that or because I only go every three weeks, so my trolley is overflowing more than most people’s.) I said if it happens again I won’t come back.
Third time, it didn’t happen but the alarm buzzed as I left and two security guys wanted to see my receipt. While they were looking at the longest receipt they’d ever seen and saying they didn’t know how they were going to check everything, I explained that this was the third time I’d been inconvenienced on my way out and if it happened again, I wouldn’t be back. It hasn’t happened since. I suspect that someone was watching me enter with that mask, the glasses, and the hood, and pressing a big red ‘dodgy’ button as I got near the exit.
Same get up, different store, different day, I was accosted for using my own very wide open hard-to-hide-anything-in bag as a basket because the store’s baskets are rubbish and it’s hard to tell whether I’ll over fill my bag if I use the basket; and if I over fill my bag, I ain’t buying it, as I have a long walk home.
Someone comes over. Was I going to pay for that? This stuff that I haven’t yet paid for? That’s how it usually works. He clicks the walkie talkie. It crackles. He says, they say they’re going to pay for it. He tells me to make sure I do. Vaguely threatening. I needed what I went in for so I bought it but I haven’t been back. I probably should go back to give them someone to watch while people dressed incognito are stealing from another aisle and getting away with it.
I suspect this is one of the real reasons behind all the anti-mask stuff—it was getting too hard to surveil us; all that tech they had been sold as security-capable became practically useless overnight.
Maybe it’s just me but when companies make it harder to spend my money, I simply oblige them. I am a begrudging shopper at the best of times. Most people seem eager, idk.
The business genius is the security consultant charging $millions to advise them on how to prevent loss.
So we’re allowed to say that Squid Game is about capitalism now?
@[email protected] did you say something about a curse?
The modlog is public. You can see exactly what comment led to the ban if you search for it.
The US state department lawyers and the British House of Lords have evidence. That’s why they’re pursuing convictions of the Chinese leaders involved. No, wait— sorry, I misremembered. They both concluded there is insufficient evidence.
Not sure about that but there was a study during WWII – in Britain, I believe – that showed a negative correlation between hours/productivity. Essentially, once you push workers past 40hrs week, they don’t really produce any more than they would if their hours were capped. Exhaustion, hunger, thirst, physical accidents, mistakes, all adds up across a workforce so the returns diminish quite quickly.
Is that because it became harder to consume or because workers worked less hard?
I mean, public news is public news and you have the internet at your fingertips.
I’m talking about Zelensky clapping for a Waffen SS soldier last week in the Canadian Parliament.
cough Zelensky in Canadian Parliament cough
That could be a big factor.
Statista suggests 22.7million people, or 9% are millionaires: https://www.statista.com/topics/3467/millionaires-in-the-united-states/#topicOverview
I wonder how this accounts for family wealth, as well.
