Imagine if they had instead hired 500,000 people on $100,000 each. They could have bought the entire city of Detroit and had it making Teslas, instead they've got one coked up narcissist.

I give the old ones a pass because they were made outside of Hollywood, on tiny budgets, with relatively unknown actors. The new ones cost millions and were full of big names throughout the whole production.
Mad Max Fury Road. I honestly don't understand how people like it. The storyline is paper thin to the point of being almost missing. I guess the steampunk motif is good if you're into that, but the rest of the movie was just trash.
I remember thinking how "lucky" we were that COVID-19 was relatively mild, compared to say the original SARS which had a 10%+ mortality rate. This is a two edged sword though, because we shot our load on COVID-19 and too many people aren't going to accept restrictions again. There's a fair segment of society who will work against any efforts at public health now.
Yeah but they're arab lives, so they don't count them.
Just like chromium is safe from Google?
WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Signal, etc. It's hardly the end, the market has just been gobbled up by the big players as usual
Me too. I hope they're different people
Hundreds! In an area only the size of Germany? How do they deal with the clutter?
I'm confused, property investment is our economy, so how can it go to shit if house prices are going up?
You can't do that with a business though - and that's why negative gearing on investments is so strange. If you have a day job, and a side business, you can't claim losses in the side business against your main employment income. But if you have a day job and own an investment property then you can claim the "losses" on the property against your income (and then get a 50% tax reduction on the capital gains when you sell it).
I never thought I'd say it, but that church needs Jesus (and someone literate enough to read their holy book).
