@Bernard Very poetic!

@svemagie Das ist ein riesen Schlange! ✝️

@freci @aral But I often thought about what I would do in case they would start to harass me with ID, but I think I'd probably just close down my account, and open an account on behalf of my company (possibly, unless it also has the same ID constraints) instead.

Linkedin has frankly become less and less uesful throughout the year, and I don't even remember the last time it actually was beneficial.

@freci @aral What? I have not received any requests to upload my ID or to verify my identity on linkedin.

Is this country specific?

If your account is based in europe, just publish fake news or write "negro" and then issue a complaint against yourself, and linkedin will be forced to suspend your account or be in breach of any nr of censorship laws which are very popular in europe at the moment.

@ChrisMayLA6 @shortstories Hmm, interesting. I'll have to look into this a bit more. It is an interesting question!

@ChrisMayLA6 Are you sure? Based on my own research, and you know I am an avid tax planner, the UK is pretty far from a tax haven.

Banking secrecy does not exist these days, and didn't you abolish the tax non-resident status or what ever it was called?

Doesn't income taxes hit, or go beyond 40%? And what about CIT? I pay either 7% or 17%, 7% is almost acceptable, 17%, is borderline criminal.

If gambling is legal, how come Malta and Cyprus attract so many gambling companies and not the UK?

@ChrisMayLA6 @shortstories This would actually be _very_ interesting to look into! In the news, non-voters are always dismissed, and never questioned.

I would be very interested in knowing _why_ people do not vote. In some EU countries, the nr of voters is down to 40%-50% of the population, at which point, I do not call it a democracy any longer.

Why is no one looking into this?

@ChrisMayLA6 become an international tax haven, to implement freedom of surveillance, to become a data haven, legalizing gambling, prostitution, etc. I'm 100% convinced, that the UK would right now be booming.

@ChrisMayLA6 This is true, _but_, we must not forget that this is the combination of brexit and socialist market policies. So a socialist country does better in the EU where it can claim tax money from other countries to paper over holes in its own budget.

A socialist country outside the EU, has to live with the results of its bad policy.

I propose to you, that had the UK turned itself into a capitalist paradise, post-brexit, with massive tax cuts, implementing massive bank secrecy laws, to

@ChrisMayLA6 @tompearce49 This is interesting and potentially a difference between countries. If a private clinic performs badly in sweden, they will be shut down. Not at once, but if done repeatedly, they will.

Maybe this is not so in the UK?

But... as always with the private sector, caveat emptor, and do your research before you buy. If something is too good to be true in medicine, it probably isn't true.

@ChrisMayLA6 @shortstories This is the truth! I do not vote, and many people seem to find that incredibly provocative. I tell them that the politicians we have today are the scum of the earth, so why would I want to participate in a system that makes them millionaires based on stolen money (taxes)? _That_, if anything, would be highly unethical!

@ChrisMayLA6 Note that in order to effectively oversee AI, you need experience in the activity it is performing. Without that experience, you will quickly be lost.

Experienced programmer who have develop a good technical "intuition" can be very productive, but junior programmers quickly go astray.

@MikeFromLFE @ChrisMayLA6 I think medical tourism is the way of the future. I imagine that we'll go to asia for medical treatments that are 2x as modern, and half the price of the heavily regulated socialist medicine we can get in europe.

@ThatCrazyDude Ahh.... the european downfall is accelerating. I own shares in a german truck manufacturer, and they have done fairy well, but when I read stuff like this, I feel like selling all european heavy industry stocks I have, and investing it in banks, since banks are a branch of government and will always be protected. They are also not reliant on workers, and regulations actually benefit them by keeping competitors at bay.

@ChrisMayLA6 I think the young will learn once they start to work, that reform is the better option.

The greens have destroyed a lot of jobs in sweden.

@tompearce49 @ChrisMayLA6 I love private medicine! It is quick and efficient and I get help when I need it.

My mother trusted public medicine and she died due to the tight deadlines and incompetence.

Never again public medicine for me.

@Incal Let us pray that he will continue the hard stance against the EU and against immigration from africa and arabia. When the rest of the EU has become moslem, it is important for white people to have some country they can retire to.

@Incal Maybe, maybe not. The fact is that we still don't have any undisputable proof of UFO:s. Just the same videos as always. At most, we can say that there's something we do not know, but that has been obvious for years.

@atomic Not implausible. Would not be surprised if you are right in the end.
