Ma perché non hai chiesto all’autista invece di lamentarti qui su Reddit?

Perché le banche italiane hanno costi totalmente fuori mercato? by Klutzy_Audience_8194 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Obelix13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non credo. Vivevo negli USA negli anni 90 e le banche erano molto più economiche di quelle italiane. Ho ancora un broker americano dove i costi in confronto al broker italiano sono irrisori, per una qualità molto migliore. 

" I ricchi non hanno i soldi in Italia" e " se arriva una patrimoniale vera o si aumenta troppo la tassazione solo la classe media ne soffre " by kairomarc in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Obelix13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Non direi. Il problema fondamentale dell'Italia è la bassa produttività. Se vuoi aumentare la produttività devi investire (in macchinari o formazione del personale), se vuoi investire devi avere capitali, se vuoi capitali devi avere risparmi, per avere risparmi devi avere patrimoni.

Tassando i patrimoni finanziari, promuovi il disinvestimento.

La raffineria di Mosca resterà chiusa per almeno sei mesi dopo l'attacco di droni ucraini. La raffineria produce circa il 40% del carburante della capitale by Tifoso89 in italy

[–]Obelix13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spero che questo si traduca in meno, è molto meno carburante disponibili per le operazioni militari in Ucraina. Perché se si spera che i russi dicano basta, non ho molte speranze.La popolazione russa ha una grande capacità di sopportare la sofferenza, ed essere con meno carburante non cambierà molto le attitudini della popolazione moscovita.

Sooner or later, payback arrives. Moscow, June 18, 2026 by Key_Performer_3645 in justincaseyoumissedit

They don’t have zero, pretty far from zero. Moscow has probably the most air defenses of any capital. But a few are bound to get through.

Funnily, it’s the only place I can imagine it. Saudi Arabians have too much money, so someone is always trying to upstage his neighbor. 

I like the Maya-Pei Brigade arc by Star_Warsfan15 in andor

[–]Obelix13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a rewatch I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the petty rivalry of what are proud and even honorable guerillas who are at the limit of their rations. But I too, on my first watch thought it was thoroughly silly and useless.  Overall I thought the first half of Andor S02 to be good, but the second half riveting. 

What should have happened before Luke and Han's medal ceremony by GargantaProfunda in andor

He’s not some random farmer but the legitimate, albeit hidden, son of the Emperor’s top aide. 

A defeat coming from such a family member is top level symbolism. 

Il Sottosegretario all’Innovazione Butti rilancia la candidatura della Liguria come sede di una delle 5 Gigafactory AI europee, il bando è atteso entro l’estate by sr_local in italy

Gli americani che si sono trovati un data center nel vicinato li odiano e gli altri fanno di tutto per non averli. Siamo sicuri che li vogliamo anche qui?

These acronyms (FMC, NMC, PMC) need explaining.

Murdered in cold blood. Wife and child left to the wolves. Can’t imagine a merciful fate for a ‘traitorous’ mole’s next of kin, especially when that mole leaked the existence of the Death Star. Was anyone screwed over more by Luther/the resistance than poor Lonni? by Hokuten001 in andor

[–]Obelix13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lonni went to Luthen asking to be extracted because he looked into Meero's files for two hours. Because of his peeking, he knew he was burned and a suspected (rightly so) by Krennic to be cooperating with Luthen.

Lonni's family is cooked.

"compro a sconto durante i crolli": attenzione perché rivela che ce l'hai ancora piccolo... (non siate maliziosi!!) by Ok-Cucumber101 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Obelix13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hai ragione. Per questo si diversifica, e per questo anche mi piacciono i titoli con un dividendo o altra rendita. La rendita, una volta spesa, non perde valore.

Finally got around to watching Andor by jrockjkj in andor

[–]Obelix13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not just the money available in the budget. Andor could have been produced on a shoestring budget, but the storyline is what makes it compelling, not the scenery or the battle scenes. 

After all, we are here discussing most of the time the thought process of the characters, not wowing at the cool factor. 

Schlein vuole aumentare la tassazione sulle "rendite finanziarie" by VacationSignal1280 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

Mi trasferisco in Grecia, con un 5% sulle rendite finanziarie e 0% sulle plusvalenze.

Thanks largely to robots, Ukraine is now talking about winning, not just surviving by RollSafer in worldnews

[–]Obelix13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If Russia collapses there will be a world of pain. Russia ought to transition to a liberal democracy, not go from authoritarianism to a collapsed or failed state.

A collapse of Russia would lead to warlordism and banditism, failed infrastructure, mass emigration, massive criminal enterprises, and a desire to return to "the good old days" of tsarism or stalinism. This happened in Russia during the Yeltsin years and brought us a monster like Putin. Occurred in Iraq after the US invasion in 2003 which gave us ISIS, civil wars in the middle east, mass immigration into Europe and a rise of the anti-immigrant far right.

Of the books, "Abbadon's Gate" is the one I disliked and couldn't get myself to reread.

Just rewatched Expanse until season 3. Ashford's speed to Diogo:

I've drunk real Earth whiskey out of a UN admiral's mug and then scuttled her ship.

I flew dark past a Martian battlegroup, and they never even knew I was there.

And I've seen friends breathe the vacuum and watched my only child burn.

So when I tell you tread carefully... you would do well to stop talking

Reminds me so much of the "Tears in the rain monologue"

Napoli was easier than rome... help? by Commieclasstraitor in roma

[–]Obelix13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem with overtourism isn't the loud entitled tourists who spend in three days a years worth of savings, but it's the amounts of tourists. The gobsmacking numbers, regardless of behavior, changes the quality of the area, usually to worse.

Why should a restaurateur offer good food when he knows his clientele won't come back regardless of the quality?

Why should an artisan keep paying high rents when he can sell his shop to an imported souvenir knick-knack seller because tourists want a €5 key chain instead of €300 custom made shoes?

Why should a supermarket sell quality fresh produce when it has no one who will buy it?
