this is how you start a civil war.

Who needs a growing economy anyway?

Maybe we shouldn’t have to rely on the economy growing?

I wonder how many of these studies are made by the tourism branch of economy to attract travellers.

Anyways, hope you’re doing fine up there :)

short anecdote:

I met a girl from afghanistan recently and it kinda made me understand why it’s so important to accept these people. they’ve really been through a lot and not accepting them would be a bad mistake.

It’s how people say: you’re against migration until you’ve actually met some migrants.

Still, it sours me that we talk so much about migration and migrants and so little about the reasons for migration, which are the horrible wars that the US and allies have fought in afghanistan and nearby countries for long time for practically little to no reason. honestly, it’s the US’s fault, and they should take some responsibility and actually care for these people, even if only financially.

In fact not. I may be awkward, but I’m not evil or cruel. So that’s that.

you could start with FOSS software.

… not the onion?

Is this fair?

Is this sane?

What is normal?

The labor market is a market. It is regulated by supply and demand. The good being traded for money is human labor.

If supply goes down (fewer workers being born), prices go up; that means, higher wages.

If supply goes up (more workers being born), prices go down; that means, lower wages.

Fortunately population numbers are returning to sane levels, and doing so without bloodshed, famine or diseases. What a fortune.

I bought a OnePlus 6 rn, apparently one of the devices where you can put Debian on it.

That’s why I prefer to distribute programs as .wasm files. Efficiently run code on any hardware.

Yeah I observed something similar.

Applied to a job position, got “sorry we already filled that position” back, three weeks later the job position was still listed as open.

(Yes I did fulfill the formal requirements. No I don’t think they were just nicely saying “nope”)
