Ironic that this is being pushed by “liberals”. They don’t even bother to live up to their own failing ideology anymore.

It’s based on an average for western countries, but of course you can calculate something more specific to your situation with company financial data and taxation rates in your country:

I was unsure if I should use this instead, but the baldness is too sexy and I might have to tag it NSFW:

Don’t be a commie! Be content with 40% of the value of your work. They might even give you 41% if you defend your capitalist masters.

Bumble women initiating interactions: “hi”

Now do that on Tinder as a man and you’re bland and unimaginative. Try harder.

In dating apps you commodify yourself so that they can sell your profile to other users. It feels so incredibly fake that everyone has to market themselves with checklists of positive qualities and good looking photos and witty messages.

Combine that with marketing yourself for work and all of the subtle competition we have in society, and it’s the perfect recipe for burnout.

Honestly it’s a coincidence, I didn’t think it that thoroughly :p

TMTG said in December that it is merging with the American company TAE, which is developing nuclear fusion technology.

From crypto scams to nuclear fusion; what can go wrong?

Anything’s possible when you make stuff up!

My toaster costs 30€ and has the following features:

• Toasts bread

Yeah, the machines that they smashed had been in use in England for 2 centuries at that point. It’s very unlikely that they just decided to rebel against this 2 century old “new technology” because they were some primitive brutes as they are depicted. History is written by the victors, and in this case capitalists were successful in tarnishing their reputation for centuries.

Dunno what you’re trying to prove here, apart from “removing an outlier from the data makes the data closer to the average”, which is pretty obvious.

But you can clearly see that the graph shows Europe, not EU, so using your same calculation with the population of Europe, which is 745 million and excluding France, the result is 1.13.

Also I don’t see any indication that OurWorldInData is using an average of countries (which would be stupid). Considering their jobs are statistics, they probably know how to aggregate per population, aka a weighted average.

I don’t have access to the source data since you need to register, but I would assume that OurWorldInData knows to aggregate Europe per population, and not just average the values per country. France is not the only outlier, there’s also Norway and probably some others I haven’t seen

I see that some people try to attribute this to older population and/or Alzheimer, but even by those metrics the countries above are pretty close and wouldn’t justify such a big gap:

As for the reliability of data, it’s from a peer reviewed study by an American university. If they had a way to make the China data look worse, I’m sure they wouldn’t hesitate.

I’ve been giving Spain too much credit lately, but I forgot that this shit is still legal. Barbaric traditions from the past should stay in the past.

“But you see, they told me it’s for democracy and freedom!”

Stock markets go up, but most of that wealth is transferred to capitalists:

Railways were a thing when communism was developing during Marx’s times and Lenin wrote extensively about railways. Their analysis is still very valid, and if anything, planning has become more feasible than 100 years ago thanks to computers. There are some modern proposals, but they are still very much based on socialism, since capitalism can only lead us to ruin.
