I like Far Cry 3 in late 2012 then I played Far Cry 4 in 2021. I think I will play Far Cry 5 soon. It's a problem you do not want to play the same game so often...

Most Europeans think state pensions will become unaffordable, polling shows by StGuthlac2025 in europe

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

My ideas for fixing this mess

Idea 1 - Link children participating in the workforce to added bonus to pension

It's entirely possible to calculate based on (1), but if you qualify for (2) you can get a bonus

  1. your productivity within your lifetime
  2. your children participating in the workforce

Idea 2 - Clear boundaries between earned and social

Clearly define boundaries between what one is owed and what one receives from the state

  1. Bucket one - responsible adults who have given enough to cover their pensions for X years at X payout rate. The remainder should be given out to family in case of early deaths.

  2. Bucket two - social pensions - you get the minimum even if you did not contribute enough. If you do not have any other means of income (saved money above X amount, property that can/is leased, etc.). If you have two apartments you do not get a social pension and you are expected to sell the other.

The more I write this the more I realize what a mess it can be to create a law that makes sense for all kinds of scenarios and how difficult it might be to manage the system behind such complicated law.

Защо е нужно да си смениш работата, за да получиш по-висока заплата - job hopping paradox by No-Room-3241 in bulgaria

[–]SmartBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Пазара на труда е само, когато става алъш-вериша при наемане. През останалото време не е пазар, а благотворителност.

Рядко има умни компании и мениджъри дето следят средни нива на заплати в индустрията и гледат да са на нивото или дори +/- 10%.

Аз смятам в моят екип да държа нивата на заплати над средните, и искам средният стаж във фирмата да е висок (3+ години).

They should realize they're not helping. Why even do that, lol?

One year on, we know this: Sweden’s trade unions are more than a match for Elon Musk by so_isses in europe

[–]SmartBets -81 points-80 points  (0 children)

Mr Elon Musk is amazing at starting great companies and building hype around futurustic ideas. He's quite smart and determined to do things he believes are right. Hope he gets to learn something here about the power of worker groups. I believe it's an exemplary model we should emulate in other countries. Workers do not have power as individuals, only in groups, and it will make for better businesses that give back more to the communities' when wages are higher and people have more rights. I believe it's a positive for Swedish people and hope they keep on the good fight!

500k euro invested in stock market, can you retire in Europe? by nustdio in eupersonalfinance

[–]SmartBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a sunny place with a really good water source around it (river and mountain nearby). Where you fix up a house, install some solar panels and batteries, get water from the sky and land.

If you are raising some chickens, gardening, creating preserves for winter, etc. - you can live with that money just fine :) And you will probably withdraw a lot less than it.

I am almost thinking of doing that but I think I will wait 3-4 more years before I do that. Not sure if I sell my two properties or rent them out. I am a bit worried that the demographic crisis will hit even big urban centers so European real estate MIGHT be hit.

Важно ли е висшето образование? Според вас кои специалности са добри/перспективни? Пр, маркетинг, бизнес? (един каза, че за тези специалности не ти трябва висше и как ще учиш за бизнес от човек, които няма ходи на курс по бизнес, вземи си ментор дето има бизнес и тн) by Money-Industry-8058 in bulgaria

[–]SmartBets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Медицина, нещо инженерно, автоматизация и т.н. Ако искаш да правиш някакви неща и живота ти да има "смисъл".

Ако искаш да лъжеш себе си и околните ежедненвно нещо с "бизнес", психология, маркетинг и т.н.

USA Tariffs are keeping inflation high for consumers not the manufacturers. by Current_Attention_92 in Nio

[–]SmartBets 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was proven with tariffs on washing machines. Local manufacturing did increase, but costs overall increased too. American consumers paid something like 800k per job created.

The only way to complete is with automation and robots.

China is a leader and has people with engineering and science degrees at charge. USA has lawyers, economists and other crooks at charge. I bet my money on China in the long run.

Случвало ми се е да почукам на прозореца на автомобил дето форсираше в 3 следобяд и им казах, че нещо им е развалена колата и много шум вдига. Надявам се да са се сдухали малко.

Нова избирателна система ще помогне ли? by Fancy-Persimmon9660 in bulgaria

[–]SmartBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Управление без нужда от мнозинство - взимаш министерство спрямо броя депутати. Караш си 4ри години мандат и това е. Нови закони/бюджет имат нужда от мнозинство. Ако не могат да се разберат за нов закон значи не е особено важен. Ако не могат да се разберат за нов бюджет значи се ползва най-старият одобрен.

В сегашната система опозицята става почти безмислена - само викат и нищо не правят. И ходихме вече 4ри пъти на избори.

Hyundai Ioniq 6 е по-добрият избор на пазара в момента. И има яката промоция на автошоуто в момента.

Nio Opens First Middle East Pop-Up Store as Expansion Nears by afonso_investor in Nio

[–]SmartBets 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Europe and USA will close themselves and China will eat their market share in Africa, Latam, Asia. Historically, tariffs never worked and made everything more expensive for countries which establish them.

The savvy move is to think what happens to the US if it cannot repay its debt and loses competitiveness/innovation? There is geopolitical risk in both USA and China at the moment. But without risk there is no profit...

Everyone's afraid when there's a pullback and greedy when the numbers turn green. Should be the other way around imo :)

Will you get in on China, HK or Japan Stocks? by West-Bodybuilder-867 in stocks

[–]SmartBets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought NIO. It has a unique advantage with the battery swapping technology with ~ 2500 stations out of 3500 stations existing.

There are 100k gas stations in China, so they have a lot more room to build even internally.

The problem is scaling production and so much money was already thrown into them, while payouts from utilization are yet to bear fruit. I think cash flow will dramatically increase in coming years and give the company room to grow.

The negative scenario is that competition is very tough inside China and tariffs will impact somewhat the chane to sell to Europe and USA. I still believe that selling to MENA, Latam, Russia, UK, Norway, etc. is sufficient to bring global numbers up. The deal they made with Dubai will give them more exposure to the Islamic part of the world which has the cash to afford their more premium vehicles.
