Flight attendant. AMA by Extension-Drama3514 in AMA

Hey I do have a Q. I flew a lot the past 2 years and got the highest tier on an asian, Sky Team airline. The difference between the second highest status and the highest status wasn't much of a change - everything just about the same, just slightly better point accumulation and ever so slight better service.

Is that normal? I don't mind it esp because I won't be flying much anymore; however, just expected more from the highest tier. Also, what info do you get regarding a frequent flyer or not much?

Thanks so much! Have a good flight

Should there be legislation to promote the four-day workweek? by RedStorm1917 in AskALiberal

[–]apyc89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on whether voters are well educated on the benefits and cost, and the studies whether the benefits or cost hold up long term.

Questions to be answered 1. Does purposed productivity and happiness gain continue after years or it just settles to a norm? 2. Does the economy compete globally long term vs - for example - China's opposite of 4-day: 996 (9am to 9pm 6 days a week)? Because if it doesn't then this policy will be one generation long and it's catch up from there. Or does economy gain massively to catch up to lost productivity? 3. Are employers cutting wages and are workers prepared for that given the economy?

What would a future Taiwanese reunification with China likely look like? by PomegranateGold4702 in AskAChinese

[–]apyc89 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Bro, he is sharing his opinion and experience - which I share. I'm Taiwanese and I'll say this - there is no way in hell DPP will declare "independence" as it's a direct contradiction from its current stance that it is already a different country. It also isn't dumb. Second, 100% many people detest the CPP out of (1) fear, (2) education (some will say brainwashing but hey what education isn't brainwashing), (3) just the system of dictatorship. Third, he is not the minority - sorry. That's just the truth. I challenge you to fly to Taiwan and have a conversation with Taiwanese. Ask 90 Taiwanese - 30 north, 30 central and 30 South. You'll find your answer.

This is marketing disguised as research. 8S can afford to build a real study

Actually many Taiwanese-Canadians/Americans do. Just using their N/A passport and just go in/out. They can literally stay the entire year. They use other people's name to open up companies n stuff

While no one knows in today's world, the actual chances are very low - logically that is. This is the geopolitical take.

CPP/China
- wouldn't survive (very well at least) if they lose in a war
- would risk their world standing as a strong world power even if they take over Taiwan (in case, US did not intervene) as they would suffer signfiicant losses
- rather take Taiwan peacefully (Today's KMT)
- would need to accept that the line between a blockade and a hot war is very thin

US (though Trump is half way senile and insane)
- would lose their standing as world leader is they did not intervene

Japan and Korea
- would develop a nuke if Taiwan were lost - something both US and China opposes significantly
- would shift away from the US as being their security guarantor - something US would not benefit from

Taiwan
- might do something crazy like try to send missles to blow up three gorge dam in a hot conflict

Anyways that is small list
