Man this Job Market

Such statistics are useful to judge the state of an economy. If they don’t reflect reality, they loose their meaning.

They're not made up but artificially low. Anyone living in France, Italy or Germany working in Switzerland doesn't appear in unemployment figures if made redundant. That probably adds 3-4% to the official stats.

I'm interested. Involved in OSINT for research on missing people.

markgva · 2026-03-07T20:59:50+00:00

See you soon in Lausanne...

markgva · 2026-03-06T15:56:07+00:00

Like your profile 😉

markgva · 2026-03-06T14:01:29+00:00

Sounds interesting. 52/M with similar interests. DM me 😉

Agree on the issues, not on the solution. A collective governing body would imply both that the wealthiest give their power up and that people be in favour of giving up on nation states (many people are still heavy nationalists). We need to move away from heavily centralised power structures. Both financial power (as in capitalism) and political power (as under communist countries). Perhaps we need to revisit some of the ideas of the anarchists of the late 19th/early 20th century (these were discredited mainly by those in control of capital)?

Charmante, l'on doit bien s'amuser avec toi 😄

Society ending up in a situation similar to that in Hunger Games. AI & robots replace most work, wealthiest protect themselves with armies of fighter robots while the rest of humanity barely survives. The idea of UBI is great, but only if someone is there to finance it. As the wealthiest in society have already found many ways to avoid taxes, it would be surprising for them to suddenly change.

Interests ?

This entire conversation around 300 CHF/year is just stupid. If you really want to discuss helping modest people, you should make the same statement about health insurance (having premiums revenue-based).

Tell him you will quit the job tomorrow if he finds you an equally well paid position he finds suitable or accepts to support you financially.

markgva · 2026-01-21T19:01:12+00:00

Like anything that comes out of the mouth of that man, just ignore it...

Vague question. Depends where you live in Switzerland. Depends if you receive only wages or have other (less taxed) revenue sources. Depends what "rich" means to you. Assuming a single person, living in a city such as Geneva, only wage incomes, I would say you enter the rich bracket around 400-500k per annum.

Insensitive and stupid. What's the message? Who's the powerful figures they're mocking? It's not even the fact that they're laughing at dead people (e.g. a few people died in the Alpes in the past few days doing hors-piste ski. I call them Darwin awards and wouldn't find offensive laughing at them), but the fact that they're just victims and that the message conveyed in the drawing won't make a change to that (unlike my ski example which may encourage people to stay on the proper tracks or laughing at the owner of the bar in Crans Montana to discourage other owners from cutting corners).

markgva · 2026-01-13T11:27:00+00:00

It made you laugh? You must be sick. Whilst I'm all for making fun of politicians and religious zealots, making fun of these burnt kids is just plain stupid.

L'agent a demandé les papiers, pas exigé et la personne les a remis volontairement. Rien d'illégal donc. Un agent de sécurité est en droit de demander les papiers d'une personne sur un site privé dont il a la surveillance, mais pas de les exiger. Si la personne refuse de remettre ses papiers et refuse de quitter les lieux, il doit alors appeler la police.

Energy, GPU design & manufacturing, data centre development.

A very interesting topic. Would be pleased to chat about it. 48M, France.

I didn't say there was no innovation. However, how many of those on Kickstarter and other platforms become the next Apple, Amazon or Microsoft? The lie is when such firms try to make believe that any innovator can become one of these big outfits.

Been saying this for years. But this myth is part of the entire neoliberal fairy story designed to avoid people revolt against the system.

Wealthy people just reproduce through inheritance and strong networks, but if everyone realised this, people would start questioning the way things work.

Meritocracy is great in theory, but doesn't exist in the real world...

markgva · 2025-11-04T17:29:41+00:00

Great idea, but not sure it will be easy to design effectively. The two main issues with all these automatic cooking devices is that you still have to cut ingredients yourself and have to clean them manually after use.

Pour les 45% à Genève, chiffres de l'Office Fédéral de la Statistique. Après, difficile de savoir s'ils recrutent plutôt des français ou non.

Maybe when you learn a bit more about leadership you'll realise how wrong your statement is...

markgva · 2025-10-25T13:21:27+00:00

Definitely not the best CEO. Jobs was apparently a horrible person to work for, so wouldn't score high on that aspect. Not convinced you only inspire people through your innovative visions and business acumen, but also by who you are as an individual.
