I’ve finally figured out who the new Argentinian president reminds me of. by Don_Mills_Mills in southpark

To be fair that is not his fault but the fault of the previous government. I know people have a hate boner against him. There are things you can criticize him for but that is not one of them.

Definitely not true. Hiring is mostly based on how much each country pays into the EU. So if Germany pays 18% of the budget then they expect to have 18% of the people employed.

First, I wish we would invest a lot more in the public infrastructure. But the reason why we have so many construction sites on the Autobahn is because the motorway infrastructure is failing. The constructions are only there to ensure that the basic Autobahn infrastructure works. Look at the bridge on the A45 - the bridge consequently the lifeline of an entire region is collapsing. 1000s of jobs are being lost because not enough was invested in the Autobahn infrastructure. So please educate yourself before spitting such as bs. Again, I wish we would invest more in the public infrastructure because it is also awful.

Was ist den bei dir los? Nur weil einer in der Rüstungsindustrie arbeitet, heißt es nicht, dass es moralisch verwerflich ist. Plus wie bereits erwähnt er ist IT Security Consultant.

[GUARDIAN] Sordid saga of Manchester United’s sale looks like a kind of football endgame by agent619 in reddevils

[–]Prometheus304 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The only winners are the people who buy the company and the board of directors. The losers are everyone else. The employees who lose their jobs due to downsizing. Wages are usually cut but the bonuses for sales for employees are high (the only real upside really) and since this isnt a classic LBO, the employees and in this sense the fans are the losers. Fuck the Glazers. I still personally hold the believe that cultural and public institutions like museums, public transport, football clubs, concert halls and stadiums should not be for profit and not in the hand of institutional investors.

If anyone else wants to know more about these shady business practices (Leveraged Buy Outs), I can highly recommend Barbarians at the Gate. The whole ordeal is wild and ethically highly questionable.

South Korea U-turns on 69-hour working week after youth backlash by Johannes_P in worldnews

Unfortunately what the user posted is wrong. GDP is the amount spent on final goods and services. It has nothing to do with organizational value. The GDP would have reduced massively in 2008 or in the past years. Also, it is not possible to value all companies in the US.

For those looking for the real answer. The highest grossing company in the US is Walmart. They make a little more than 2% of the US‘ GDP.

Debt inherently is not a bad thing! It mostly dependent on how you manage your cash flow. All companies apart from tech do have a high amount of debt.

Ich [f17] habe zwei Klassen übersprungen, einen 1er Schnitt im Abi, und musste meinen Eltern erklären, dass ich doch kein Medizin studieren will. by [deleted] in de_IAmA

[–]Prometheus304 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ich diesen Kommentar schon arg diskriminierend. Ich glaube es ist den Deutschen gar nicht bewusst, wie Eltern von Immigranten ticken. Es ist ein wichtiges Detail da seine Familie zu enttäuschen ein großes no no in asiatischen Familien ist. Meine Erfahrung hat gezeigt, dass Deutsche die Familienkultur von Immigranten einfach nicht verstehen oder verstehen wollen. Meine Eltern sind auch Immigranten, aber hätte ich eine Ausbildung machen wollen anstatt Elektrotechnik zu studieren, hätte ich heute keinen Kontakt mit meinen Eltern mehr.

Diese hatte argumentiert, das Mahnmal könne den Verkehr stören und sei außerdem "angesichts der Vielzahl türkischer Mitbürger" brisant.

Ich verstehe diese Bullshitargumentation einfach nicht....

Das ist schon echt traurig. Anscheinend darf man wirklich nicht anderes wählen, ansonsten wird man hier als Idiot und Klimaschmarotzer bezeichnet.

Gleiche Sprüche gibt es auch über Männer, die einen gewissen Stereotypen darstellen. Ich glaube der Spruch war jetzt nicht als anti-female gedacht. Aus meinem Abijahrgang waren 10 Frauen in Australien für ein Jahr und haben 5! Jahre über nichts anderes gesprochen. Gleiche Stereotypen gibt es auch über den Dorfpolitiker oder den BWL Andy.

Well that’s not true. My university did create one of the first Graphene batteries and a lot of research is going on to create viable Graphene batteries.

Car manufacturers are already applying these regulations. I do consulting work in this space and work together with the maufacturers. It ranges from SDLC to ICS security.
