If they had library management even close to what lightroom offers, I’d be there.
I may yet jump ship for photoshop.

You thought France had a 1.2 million USD per capita GDP? At that rate their GDP would be… 82 trillion. Dwarfing Chinas mere 18 trillion.
Interesting point - you also picked countries with significantly higher population in close proximity to major trade routes and markets.
Honestly, I went to a country per capita list, and picked out some names that stuck out. I’m not sure if you could ever find a country that’s really comparable, in many ways we are at the end of everything.
Agreed- unfortunately low value bulky goods that fetch global price means it sucks for us consumers.
One of my big pushes in the last year has been to pay attention to food miles when purchasing… and sweet fucking jesus. The cheap stuff we import, and then sell our expensive goods overseas for minor margins.
Couldn’t agree more. 4 year election cycle, cut the crap and let’s get this country better.
I think this is a trap. A lot of our problems come from how easy it is to change things, IMHO. I’m not going to go find a source now (eating my lunch), but our democracy is unique is how easy it is to change laws. A lot of other countries have more checks and balances than we go, eg a upper house. Though in comparison we have the check and balance of MMP and multiple parties having to form a coalition.
A low GDP per capita economy
Still higher than some countries who manage much more. We beat Korea, Japan, Spain, hell, we edge out France.
significant logistics chains and costs
Good thing we are getting some new Toyota Carolla Ferrys to help make those logistic chains better!
low nation ownership of productive assets and banks
The same party that is now claiming we need austerity, also sold of several of those productive assets.
lack of economies of scale from infrastructure spread over a wide area with low population
Fair. I think most of our main infra is pretty consolidated, but a large portion of our economy is based on farming, which by it’s very nature, is spread out.
surprisingly lack of accountability for project over runs…
On this we agree. I also think that cancelling good projects, simply because it’s the “other sides” project, should also have accountability.
So noe ypu ask yourself: why?
Where is that money going?
Why are we having tax cuts of various types… only to borrow more money?
The same as what happened when vine shut down.
Take their follows as best as they can to another platform. Continue on.
You’re telling me there’s an image managing program out there, that works with Affinity, and for some reason people aren’t talking about it???
