French take home pay vs total cost to the employer (productivity value). What an epic scam.

Ok so this probably isn't a bull market

A new Mustang GT V8 in France retails at €59,298. Taking into account their €80,000 co2 tax (yes you read that right) and all the other employer and employee taxes, you need to earn, wait for it....€470,000. To buy the same car in Dubai? €50,060. The drip, drip of taxes and debasement is now a flood that will drown anyone not paying attention.

Welcome to an up market national café chain at Paris Airport. Two sandwiches and water 25 EUR. You'll need to clear and wipe down your own table too. Plans for Dubai move in full swing.

Your economic value is how long it would train someone to do your job. Fiat has conditioned everyone to think just because they do 40 hours a week they're entitled to a decent wage. If someone can walk in off the street (or boat) and do your job in an hour what are you really worth?

Took 4 months but I got my 94 EUR back from the state for a bullshit fine. Never let the bastards grind you down.

Second visit to Dubai. Makes UK & France look like the fwcking dark ages. There's such a large incentive to work, there's a massive supply of services. Nothing is full. Restaurants have tables, barber (choice of 4) had appointments, taxis take no more than 60 seconds. New projects being built all over the shop. Fwcking principles of economics at work. It's not even expensive, equivalent hotels and restaurants are cheaper. If you factor in tax free income, it's 50% cheaper still. You can see a vision, a future, pride in building something. No graffiti, no bums, no litter. Nobody asking you for change. Nobody trying to intimidate you. Feels chill & safe as fwck. Not even many lambos. Why's it like this? Because they don't have a sovereign debt bubble or high time preference dEmOcRaCY. It's really not hard. Allow people to work and let them keep most of what they earn. I wish the west would go back to this but until then we're going to need alternatives.

I'm the copy paste stack overflow type, some wordpress custom themes and the like. Started using visual studio and claude. Holy shit. It's like an autistic supercharger.

People buying solana etfs is why we can't have nice things

Going in and getting Maduro that easily makes the Iraq war look even more ridiculous.

Two middle aged mothers got wasted at the wifey's casual mid week work Christmas bar. They had to leave their cars and be driven home. Happens on the regular. Da fwck man. Women have never had more freedom and this is what the average one is doing with it. Make shaming great again.

Went 3 days without checking price or any social media. Didn't really benefit me, no big insights, bit pointless really.

That's me done laterz anons

If the economy is so great why is oil dumping

My mum is pushing 80. She didn't realise her proof of medical insurance certificate was out of date because she never goes to the doctor or pharmacy. She eats mostly pork and eggs. Fuck the nutritional guidelines.
