That is exactly what I did. I’m not a maths person. So maybe me trying to do math in a internet comment section wasn’t the best decision.

Honestly I get paid once a month but I know some of my friends have 2 paydays a month so it’s still out there in the wild

I love breaking down these huge salaries into 2 week chunks because I think it brings the disparity into perspective more for people since most of us get paid 2x a month.

For $75 million that is a twice a week paycheck (I know CEOs don’t get paid this way) of $3,125,000!

That’s the total of 1000 employees 2 week paychecks if they all made ~ $40 an hour

Just to put $10 million a year into better perspective: that is ~ $833,000 per month or ~$208,000 each Week! for one year

I can understand your point of not wanting to travel to the US and you’re correct that there is a high number of people that have a negative view of anyone “different” than them. And I would probably say it’s a good idea not to for the reason you gave and more, but there are many very passionate people that are fighting for the rights of everyone in America, they just don’t get the press so it can be easily interpreted that no one in the US cares.

There are rotten people in power and due to their station they have control of the microphone which makes it sound like that is what everyone thinks. That isn’t true.

It still baffles me that the party that wraps itself in the American flag and calls themselves “Patriots” seem to have no problem what so ever in letting a non-elected immigrant run the country.

I don’t know if it’s really selfish more people are a part of a system that is bigger than them that forces them into situations that have a negative impact on CO2 levels

Working a job that has low pay which probably force people to housing that is further from their work place, in America most cities don’t have a great public transportation infrastructure nor do they have alternative commuting options like protected bike lanes. This forces people to have to drive more.

The Return to Office bullshit has forced more cars on the road that were not there 4 years ago which is impacting CO2 levels

These are just 2 of many different things that the system has created that have put people in situations that make slowing CO2 levels more difficult.

Going back to the EU with our tail between our legs isn’t going to go down well with anyone so won’t be happening anytime soon.

“we would rather the people of the UK continue to suffer economically than be embarrassed on the international stage for a few years.”

That’s is strong leadership /s

Yes I do.

If app A has an icon that when touched does a specific thing, and app B has the exact same icon that does the exact same thing there is nothing new to learn. The learning curve is flat.

If you are arguing about the ethical and legal aspect of one app using the exact same UI as another that is a different conversation and a good one to have.

well the the learning curve for new users is flat and adoption of the app will be more acceptable to more people.

I think it’s a smart idea - they can always make changes to the UI in time as the platform gets more people.

Well the good news (/s) is that they won’t be sitting in a warehouse - they will instead be sold to one of many conflicts around the world to “test” their product.

While I don’t think the lack of quality journalism is all due to OP not paying for it (I have no clue if they do or don’t) but there is a lot of complaining on Lemmy and Reddit about paywalls which is annoying. The idea that people want quality journalism but get pissed off when those journalist and news organizations asked to get paid for it is ridiculous.

But that boost came because people were still feeling the need for revenge for 9/11 three years earlier. Also there was a hell of a lot of fear mongering and out right lies about Iraq that was being reported as facts from all the media at the time. So the American citizens had been primed for war and most wanted it.

Russia uses nukes in Ukraine to “win” the war. Now they control land that has large swaths that are completely unlivable and non-productive for farming. And the “livable” parts Russia would have to spend huge sums of money to re-build the infrastructure from the blast(s).

Even if the rest of the world let’s them get away with that (which I doubt they would) it doesn’t seem like a very good strategy.

I think this company has few different teams that work on the problem from different angles

Some are on the boats in the Pacific some are building interceptors in rivers in countries that are the largest producers of waste that makes it to the ocean. Of course they can’t fix the problem just slow it down. The fix comes from these countries changing how they allow garbage to be collected and stored.

Capitalism that is bounded by strong regulations that are consistently and fairly enforced by government (the people) entities isn’t that bad.

It’s when those regulations get watered down or just removed in the name of “freedom” that we get what we have now.

Kinda shows what kind of person she is.

I remember that game. My dad got it from a very conservative/racist family member - with a note that read something like “too bad I’m white and have to work for my money.”

I don’t think my dad ever talked to him again.

This is the most capitalistic game on the market and you still get a $200 UBI
