But what if it kept your food cold sometimes and sold information on what you ate to advertisers? Wouldn't that be worth the occasional spoilage of a week's worth of groceries?
The manifesto isn't even particularly long or difficult to read. Das Capital by Marx is really where his economic theories are actually presented. It is an extremely difficult read.
A good 9 to 5 is great if you can get it. Get on a union contract, secure good terms. It's fucking excellent. But there's a lot of 9 to 5s that are 7 to 9pms. Where bosses call you out of hours constantly. Where there's no raises, no promotions and no rewards. Faced with the latter then yeah it's go chase something better by trying to build a business or face financial nihilism.
But of course that's only half the story. The other half is that there is an economy for people selling you the alternative. They make money on convincing you that no 9 to 5 is worth it. That you're a beta cuck if you dare accept a traditional role on the corporate ladder.
Every time some kid gives up on college or bails on trade school to try and buy into crypto, Forex, AI chatbots, OnlyFans pimping, day trading, NFTs, drop shipping, Amazon AI publishing, memecoins or any other grift, scam or scheme - there is an army of Alpha, sigma, self made, self powered, un-tethered, outside of the matrix, big G scam artists selling the shovels to the goldrush.
They're telling you, you're not being conned, you just weren't fast enough this time, not smart enough, you didn't time the market right, buy my course I'll show you what the insiders know, get ripped, get jacked, sleep longer, sleep less, get up early, never stop hustling, you got to secure the bag, you got to be a man, but not too much, get the girl, win the girl, stop chasing girls, be sharp, be blunt, be a hammer, be deft, be this be that so long get fucked fuck off I got mine get yours.
In the presence of airport complementarity, when airlines compete in a Cournot type of competition, we find that both countries are best off, in terms of welfare, if airports are kept under government ownership (i.e., manage their airports as welfare maximizers)
But also whenever you get a raise or pay off a loan take the majority of that money you would have added to your regular paycheck and put it in your superannuation (or your country's equivalent retirement fund) as an automatic deduction. That way you're saving without feeling the pinch of giving something up.
Also once you reach an age you start dealing with funerals you'll realise how nightmarish and expensive that whole process is, so get a proper legal will made up.
Grover Cleveland made it an official national holiday in 1894 after the Pullman strikes. He selected the September date to put distance between the socialist May Day protests and the concessions he was making to the Labor movement.
The Leaked List of Demands that Made Canada Refuse Trumps Trade Agreement
Summary of Key U.S. Demands in 2026 Canada-U.S. Trade Negotiationsr
/TheDailySpill
This document outlines the key demands put forward by the U.S. administration during the August 2026 tariff and trade negotiations, which led to the suspension of talks by Canadian officials over concerns regarding national sovereignty and economic autonomy.
Overview of Core Concerns and Demands
Veto Over Strategic Infrastructure Partnerships: Demands that Canada submit all major foreign investments in domestic infrastructure (including ports. telecommunications, energy pipelines, and power grids) to a joint U.S.-Canada review board, granting Washington functional veto power over foreign investment inside Canada.
Preemptive Trade Restrictions on Non-U.S. Nations: Mandates forcing Canada to match U.S. sanctions, export controls, and import tariffs on third-party countries automatically, forfeiting Canada's right to establish independent foreign trade relations.
Jurisdictional Preemption on Critical Minerals: Requirements for the U.S. to receive guaranteed right-of-first-refusal and price caps on all unrefined critical minerals (e.g., lithium, nickel, cobalt, uranium) extracted in Northern Canada, restricting domestic processing and export to other allies.
Rescinding the Digital Services Tax & Online News Act: Demands for the total repeal of Canadian legislation requiring foreign tech platforms to pay taxes on revenues earned from Canadian users and compensate Canadian news publishers.
Elimination of Cultural and Language Protections: Direct demands to dismantle Canadian-content (CanCon) quotas, roll back the Online Streaming Act, and exempt U.S. goods and digital services from provincial language laws, specifically targeting Quebec's French-language protections.
Elimination of "Buy Canada" Public Procurement Rules: Requirements that Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal governments grant American companies equal access to tender for public infrastructure contracts. prohibiting preferences for local or Canadian suppliers.
Dismantling Agricultural Safeguards: Demands for administrative measures or removals compromising Canada's supply management system for dairy, egg, and poultry sectors, alongside demands to automatically adopt U.S. chemical and pesticide standards.
Unilateral Alteration of Auto Rules: Exclusion of heavy
assembly plants and key auto sectors from tariff relief, combined with restructured rules aimed at shifting auto assembly jobs directly into the U.S.
Pharmaceutical Patent Extensions: Demands to extend data exclusivity periods for foreign pharmaceutical firms, delaying generic drug access in Canada and driving up provincial healthcare costs.
Priority Allocation of Canadian Energy: Requirements for priority allocations and price guarantees on Canadian crude oil, natural gas, hydroelectricity, and nuclear energy exported to the U.S.
Binding Military & Arctic Mandates: Mandates forcing Canada to hit specific defense spending benchmarks dedicated strictly to purchasing U.S.-made military hardware for Arctic surveillance and NORAD Upgrades.
Lowering Customs & De Minimis Rules Demands to reduce tax thresholds on cross-border e-commerce, giving American retailers tax-free access to Canadian consumers at the expense of local businesses.
Australian English language is now largely Americanised, a process that started in the post-war era is now mostly complete.
I'm not really bothered by it or anything, but it's been interesting to see it shift even over my lifetime.

Sorry I'm not sure we have these where I live. What is a 'stately home'?
Here and now? Doubt it. Out there at some time. Seems likely.

I enjoyed IV. I'm not a big end game player or anything but I played it through. I am a little surprised they're announcing V already

This is going back a bit longer than 15 years but the myth of the Population Bomb was pretty fucking wrong.
It predicted the mass starvation of hundreds of millions of people due yo food production not keeping up with population growth in the 1970s.
For the opposite result... Please observe Australia.
In May 2026, Malcolm Roberts was quoted saying he was 'in two minds' as to whether gay people should be considered equal.
They will never admit they were wrong. Ever.
