Joining Chile to Spain would probably cause a disaster in the sales of La Rioja wines. I get your point. Chilean wines are amazing. And they make more than cheap wine, they make good wine too.

And then it gives you the most generic answer how to run a docker build, that doesn’t actually address the problem

I hear this criticism all the time, but I’ve never seen it happen in 5 companies I’ve worked for so far. Usually there’s an understanding that estimates are wild guessing, and things are planned using dependencies rather than timeliness.

I hate how it’s framed as a bad thing. Intentional or not, real estate prices falling is a good thing.

At least then you have the absolute moral high ground.
" we need to eradicate drug trade" is not a good call to arms, since consuming psychoactive substances is the most human thing ever, practiced by a wide range of the population
“we need to get rid of murderers and human traffickers” is clear and unambiguous, and would actually make more people turn their back on the cartels

Sigh unfortunately it’s true. One thing I learned about American culture through the years is that everything must have a race. Food, drink, sports, music, neighborhoods, bus lines, careers … Everything is assigned a race and only people of that race can use it without criticism

“just because we are very concerned about misogyny enslaving half of the population” ftfy

People speculating in real estate are doing so for passive income

You severely underestimate the role of real state in the current economy. Banks, investment funds, pension funds, real estate agencies, insurance … Individuals looking for passive income are just a part of it.

Especially in North America, Europe and China (but true everywhere generally) real estate speculation takes a huge chunk of investment money of both individuals and companies.

you feel that homelessness isn’t included in them

It’s not, except as an afterthought. It’s not me inventing these statistics

Reducing home prices requires destroying an entire branch of economy - real estate investment. Mind you not construction but owning property as an investment. It would noticeably drop the GDP and any other economic statistic as well as leave a bunch of people without jobs.

I guess in the mind of most politicians it’s not an acceptable course of action, even though avoiding it makes things worse in the long term.

I’ll give you a different perspective. I don’t vote in the US elections (given the impact on people in other countries maybe we should) so I won’t focus on the Democrat/Republican thing but on the reasons for selecting a specific candidate.

Step 1 - deal breakers. Determine if the proposed policies cause any immediate regression in what is already achieved. Rolling back existing trans rights, banning abortion, stuff like that.

Step 2 - vibes. This is the critical one. Don’t immediately look at positive policies you want implemented. Look at how a candidate winning would move the Overton Window .

After this election there will be more, and who wins today moves the general vibe of the entire political system. It sets a base for policies of future candidates who might not even know it yet.

Step 3 - narrowing down. Now if you have several candidates that pass step 2 equally, you can look at the specific policies. Generally you can expect any politician to overpromise (khm lie), but usually they try to achieve at least some of the stated goals.

In two-party electoral systems basically you can’t often reach the step 3, but you do have primaries so it can be applied there.

You know what’s most ironic, those executives decisions actually endangered their own lives. Who’s a group of people typically flying quite frequently? Upper management. And it’s more likely than not to be on a Boeing.

Imagine being so focused on shareholder value that you risk your life for it.

I can imagine in a small startup with good interpersonal relationships it hurts less. I was never laid off but I worked in a small company like that and there were risky periods. It might have been an exception among most companies but we all had access to the revenue and expense data. There can be no surprises if everyone knows the financials.

Theist I’d say. Having a defined purpose in life and hope for something beyond it. It does wonders for mental health and “happiness” or at least lack of existental crisis.
Religion often provides a community and sense of belonging (although this varies by religion)

The only problem is that it’s all based on fiction. Once you understand it’s a lie, all the benefits are gone.

I’m sorry but you can be violently anti-religion without being a fascist.

Yes, that was exactly my point. I’m complaining that in the current political scene there are no parties that separate those ideas.
And yes, banning the public display will only make it go underground and become stronger, this is why it’s so important to separate anti-religion from fascism.
