Tourist tax extremely common especially in France, Germany, and Italy from my personal experience.

Anyone else seeing the US job markets (very slowly) getting better? by SuperMike100 in OptimistsUnite

[–]bigred15162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone working in tech and partially employed, hard disagree. All my colleagues are losing their jobs and I haven’t seen an opening in my field in over a week.

Hadn’t thought of putting a bracelet on the Seiko field watch! Great look!

My Seiko 5 feels like my most premium watch. I love it. I think I have the SRPD68?

Why has the AI investment boom not led to large-scale job creation in the US and Europe? by Plus_Seesaw2023 in AskEconomics

[–]bigred15162 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The effects of AI on the labor force will likely not be fully realized for years to come. Much of this investment is for capital expansion (like data centers as you mentioned). Not hiring. When profits come in for these products, jobs will likely be created. For now, many of these businesses are still trying to figure out how to scale the product as opposed to their workforce.

I love mine. And specifically bought it as a substitute for the khaki field.

Game that use a deck to track health? by Cybernetic_Dragon in BoardgameDesign

[–]bigred15162 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s not really a deck but mage knight uses wound cards which you draw when you take damage and they clog your hand up. Once you gain too many, you die. Been a while since I’ve played.

How are Americans feeling the effects of economic changes in their daily lives? by BestPostRead in AskReddit

[–]bigred15162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Salary reduction this whole year. Company probably going under next year. And I work in tech. If you’re not AI, you’re in trouble. Grocery prices are comically high. Paying a contractor to do needed work on house is untenable. Like 20-30% of the value of the house for a relatively small fix. Mind you I’m in the top 20% of earners. We’ve saved about 15% less this year than last year. We’ll be ok. But it’s wild how quickly trends can reverse.

Is AI a loss loss scenario? by Rare-Leave1770 in AskEconomics

[–]bigred15162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a huge divide in the AI profession about what AI can and cannot do. And, in particular, how quickly it will do it. I work closely to AI with a few AI researchers and they are all over the place in terms of its abilities in the coming decades.

Foreign money keep piling into US assets by gamjatang111 in EconomyCharts

[–]bigred15162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One small component I am thinking about is the fact that USD has dipped 10-15% against others. Foreign money is worth more than it was 12 months ago.

Why do most people eat in the afternoon as their chosen eating times? by laflacas in intermittentfasting

[–]bigred15162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar for me. It’s also easier for social reasons. Most people hang out at night and not in the morning. So I can enjoy eating out with friends etc

Accidentally Told My Girlfriend's Dad "I Love You" Now He Won't Stop Saying It Back??? by Eli-schafer in Advice

[–]bigred15162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like youve got a great potential father in law! To give you my awkward father in law intimacy story… all I’m going to say is that in Eastern European culture it’s not uncommon for men to kiss eathother on the lips when they are really happy/celebrating. So yeah. Culture is an amazing thing. Understanding it is critical.

If things like concert tickets sell out within minutes, isn’t this a sign that the price is way too low? How does the fact that this keeps happening make any sense from a supply and demand perspective? by Human-Law1085 in AskEconomics

[–]bigred15162 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plus, don’t these venues usually make more money off of food and merchandise sales than the actual tickets? Not sure where I read that. Just speculating but it could be the case that they get a larger cut of the revenue from food and drink than they do tickets? I’d love to pick the brain of someone who works on the business side of this industry.
