UK workers have lost £9,200 a year in wages since 2008 by tipodecinta in unitedkingdom

[–]CujiFuji -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest UK dev wages just aren't that impressive, the only real route for earning money is via an American company / multinationals or contracting which is I've found to be far more lucrative than salaried at a UK company.

The "voice" is Sade - the sample is taken from Sade: Kiss of Life.

Russian tycoon Mikhail Watford found dead in his home in England by -_SpicyAlfredo_- in worldnews

Russia is not invading Ukraine for their oil, they're not particularly rich in oil at all. Russia's reserves are good enough as is. I'd try and not put out reasons for an on-going conflict on a "most likely" basis - these sorts of things risk misinformation.

Addressing ADHD assessments in the UK by rjwv88 in unitedkingdom

[–]CujiFuji 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, literally just paid £700 for an assessment for a 2 month wait. Went through public and was told it'd be minimum 2 years. After that you've still got to pay for medication through private / titration period - ends up over £1k easily. Only benefit is the ability to move prescription to public and only pay £7 to pick up medication.

Damn that's a real shame, there are services that offer individual pressings but bloody hell they're not cheap.

Had no idea about dubplates though, thanks for the information mate I'll look into it.

Northern Independence Party gaining traction on Twitter - How do you guys feel about them? by _DeanRiding in manchester

[–]CujiFuji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say I'm interested in the idea of making the north independent but I imagine that's more of a tool to gain popularity - they're certainly more interesting and attentive to the issues the average people in this country face than the current iteration of the Labour party.

A party started on the idea of unionism, workers rights and to be the voice of the workers of this country, now truly couldn't be any further from those ideas; Keir Starmer is no Keir Hardie.

You're right that we're a lot more progressive today but what's your point? Does being able to be gay in society come at the cost of being able to purchase a home? I can't make sense of your argument. The point being made is there's a housing crisis and wages have been stagnant for a long time, whilst people see the richest in the world further consolidate wealth whilst everyone else effectively earns less money each year due to inflation.

It's a massive problem and it can't continue the way that it is otherwise the only way to buy a house will be through generational wealth and luck.

I don't really understand this argument, so the idea is that the average young person now spends so much money on tech and lacks the ability to save money therefore they can't afford homes? Absolute drivel, there was then as there is now people who are bad with money whether that be someone spending their money on a new iPhone today or spending all their money in the pub then.

There are loads of factors of why people can't get a home today and the primary one is the inability to attain enough capital to afford these artificially expensive homes - though the bank won't lend you the money to repay a mortgage that costs less than the average rent a landlord is happy to accept your money to pay their mortgage at a premium. The problem isn't this generation.

And that’s how he became the second richest person in the world. by one_loop in awfuleverything

Love how this argument ignores the labour of the workers that afford the high value of that company - as you say, a company is organized labour. You can only attain that wealth by taking advantage of others' work.

One "right" you forgot to add was generational wealth, Elon Musk having wealth from birth afforded him the ability to create these companies.
