I don't think banking should be paid as highly as it does, but mine workers earn so much because they literally risk their lives at work.
The reason why bankers earn so much probably is because they work with huge amounts of money, so it's easier for them to demand a cut of it.
The russians do not have the same amount of lobbying in the whole country that the israelis do, at least not yet.
Holy shit you guys are fucked.
Das kann ich ja verstehen bei einem 30min Video.
Aber zu fordern, dass man sich ein 4 Stunden Video anguckt, nur um die Argumentationsweise von einem random Lemmyer zu verstehen, ist ein bisschen too much.
Man muss ja auch erstmal Zeit dafür haben und wenn das jeder auf Lemmy verlangen würde, käme man ja zu gar nichts mehr.
Die Russischen Soldaten sterben aber auch in deutlich größeren Zahlen. Und mit mehr Equipment würden auch noch weniger Ukrainer sterben.
China profitiert total von dem Krieg, zum Beispiel verkaufen sie die Quadrocopter an Russland und an die Ukraine.
Warum nur mit einer Seite Geld verdienen, wenn man auch beide beliefern kann?
Financially maybe, my parents were probably still at university at my age. They'd make more money than I do afterwards though.
And they had already found each other, while I've never even had one relationship yet.
It's always the same thing, a state that used to work "together" with russia no longer want's to be a slave to russia and work with other countries.
Russia doesn't want that, so they attack.
It happened to Georgia before it happened to Ukraine.
The US won the cold war actually.
It's just that they now somehow manage to loose after having already won.
Go ahead, visit China and talk to anyone you see about how much you don't like Xi Jinping, maybe even compare him with Winnie the Pooh. Especially helpful if you do that to government officials.
Then, if you still can, visit Russia and go around telling people you are gay and that the war has to stop.
But, yeah, the US is also slowly working it's way out of the list of free democratic countries, no question about that, I am lucky to live in Europe for that reason.
Yup, the blood drains out of your legs while climbing.
I don't think that the money that an industry gets represents it's value to society, not even close. I don't think that a CEO brings 1000 times more value than a normal worker.
What I really see happening is that every industry tries to take as much of everyones money as they can and if they are in a position where they can force us to do it, they will.
There is no fair wage distribution, not even among white men.
Women earning less money is just one of the symptoms in this ever more broken system where big corporations control more and more of our everyday lives.
