Are you paid by the CCP? Honest question.

Airbnb should be simply banned.There's no way short term rental is any good for any city. That's what hotels with different price ranges are for.

You live here? So do I. Wait time is not propaganda.It's real. I can get any type of healthcare service in SK without even thinking about it. >Private healthcare is simply immoral and barbaric, a constant, externally determined dema

Densely populated areas are worth the shot even if you compete with 14 other providers.

That's such a ridiculous take on it.Have you actually used that "free healthcare in Europe"? It sucks ass. I get better healthcare in South Korea that is both cheaper and more effective than in Germany or Austria.

Question: How do you pull all this info? Web scraping? Official APIs?

That's completely normal and does not only apply to India but all other offshore centers like Eastern Europe or the Philippines. You guys are a cost centre.

Since carbon taxes primarily benefit local production...yes? Emerging nations are too far away from the US to care about it as much as you think. >That doesn't mean the costs of a carbon tax don't outweigh the benefits of havin

If you have to preach something like a zealot it means it is not as good as you think it is. Most people dont look up whether "something will work" on Windows or Mac.They just simply use the machines they buy.

And does your company employ hundreds of people or is it a small biz < 99 ppl?

Coming from a nation whose borders shifted all the time I definitely dont see it like that.

by EdwinLarkin 5y ago
Believing that everything will shift to remote work and borders will disappear is in my opinion naive.

Even today carbon taxes are the stupidest idea people from rich nations thought about. Around 5BN from the developing world will laugh at this proposal. They will not be able to trade with you? Oh well they might trade among themselves and

That's absurd. >I think we need a carbon tax, that is specifically a financial disincentive towards any means of energy production that directly pollutes the atmosphere. Ok then lets end 2 biggest industries that pollute the planet

Singapore style development model is a nice theory but it does not work. It's exploitative in nature and gets its revenue by churning through thousands of immigrants that have no access to HDB.

I think you just don realize the scope of numbers you need to play with especially if you dont start with a reasonable amount in the first place. Real estate is worse than crypto when it comes to speculation.I realized this myself when my p

I have yet to find a tech company that is not about extracting as much wealth as it can by min/maxing on human suffering.

Working conditions in the US are a lot better than in Africa or the poorest post-USSR countries.What's your point? 1st world countries should not boast about basic human rights.That should be the standard.

Are you South Korean? What do you know about South Korea's real estate? Either way I would say housing in Japan (considering all the constraints) seems to work great.
21.
by EdwinLarkin 5y ago
Quite the opposite actually.Increase capitalism and reduce government control and you get more housing.
22.
by EdwinLarkin 5y ago
In 99% cases it's the government/zoning rules that prevent increasing the supply of housing not private investors not wanting to build enough.

The only way to balance the market is to reduce demand and increase supply. Build more.

I wonder about volatility of these crypto exchanges. Cant a single government of a large nation deal a serious blow to such a company?

What's wrong with the latter? It's a standard practice of indian outsourcing companies like Infosys,Tech Mahinda,TCL... Also the "lifting out of poverty" is standard propaganda spread by CCP https://www.firstp

Nah you can want things to be different but the change can come at much higher cost than you can imagine.I am often thinking about this sustainable way of living and I always come to conclusion that we cant. I am not sure how possible it is

I understand your viewpoint but you dont understand mine.And you probably never will.It's not your fault and I wont call you out on arrogance or ignorance or anything like that.It's impossible to re-live the experience. You see I

Your viewpoint is ideological.If you believe in preserving planet earth then what you want is rationing resources. And that inevitably leads to communism. I believe saving the earth is impossible with that kind of strategy.There's 3BN
