“If there were an Oscar for best theatrical performance by a country, Israel would win every year. It’s a country based on theater. It’s a lunatic state - completely insane”.

From the streetcar conspiracy to this. GM sure has an illustrious history.
As much as I love Greek culture, I think I’m going to stay right here. I will use the long(er) weekend to visit Greece and her hard-working people.
To think social progress is not coming from Europe anymore…
Some of us are not PC gamers and have no desire to be. I prefer consoles and will always do, though I miss the simple -no-install required- consoles of yesteryear.
They should have sued the coward police department. The rest of the world plays the same games people play in the US. I grew up playing GTA, didn’t steal or shoot anything.

You are right, I haven’t checked for a while, I thought it was still unavailable. I ordered one yesterday.
It is still super hard to get
I think they meant the destruction of Carthage something I am still sore about
Have a spare laptop/desktop that you can use to lookup answers quickly.
Linux market share must be growing
If all they are using their PCs for is word processing and intranet webapps, perhaps they don’t need Windows anymore. It is not like ActiveX is supported anymore.
It isn’t perfect. Far from it, but every woman is entitled to free healthcare including most foreigners except very high earners.
And we are not that bad compared to some US states if you can trust American Progress https://www.americanprogress.org/article/authoritarian-regimes-have-more-progressive-abortion-policies-than-some-u-s-states/
Weird that you accuse us of being polluters when our impact historically, currently and cumulatively is nowhere near the US or most countries. https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2
I did qualify my post that it isn’t for everyone. I am of the culture, I understand it, and I know how to function in it.
Sorry. It isn’t a country that anyone can just move to. It has many serious flaws and is not pleasant for people from different backgrounds. But it did allow my father to retire in his 50s and my uncles to retire in their 60s. But if you are willing to play along, and keep your thoughts to yourself, you do get a lot for free from education to healthcare and it is affordable to live in, and foreigners do manage to save here. Oh no income tax either.

One of the reasons I decided to leave the US. Yes, the Economist is British but the US has the same problem. I realized chances are I will never save enough for retirement, my 401k planner even says so. So I am moving back to the country that allowed my father to retire in his 50s. 10 years ago when I started working in the US I didn’t expect this outcome, and the longer I stay here the longer it will take me to improve my conditions.
The US has socially progressed and many people enjoy more individual rights now than in the past. But the material conditions have stagnated for most. The US has a political system that is responsive to social and cultural conditions but not to financial or material conditions.
That’s a very relative and personal question. Because for me the world is getting better. Not everyone lives in the US, here we graduate university with money saved instead of being in debt
I know how that works. I just don’t want them to reply to me, I don’t care if they read it.
Alhamdulilat for House of Saud. Our healthcare is actually free, we don’t even pay an income tax.
I will be convinced democracy is better and works once people in the US aren’t afraid of an ambulance ride.
Shame!
