Just once I'd love to see a major government force a company into bankruptcy by making them clean up their own mess.
Company: "We can't clean up our industrial mining waste, it's too expensive and we would go under!"
Government: ~~okay well we will have the taxpayers pay for it. Here have a bailout. Remember, daddy loves you so much~~ "Oh then I guess you should have factored that into your costs. Get to work. And when you have no more money to pay for others to clean it up for you, we expect to see the executives and management out there with gloves and a can-do attitude"
Red = ded
If you don't want ded, make sure no red.
And since this is the world we live in, most people proceed with that understanding.
This was not the case in 2007.
That could come later.
For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.
Hey, I'll have you know I only have one alt!
... Don't tell Keiko, but it's for porn.
Hey that sounds like studying linguistics to me! ^Pun^ ^mildly^ ^intended.^
That's gotta be a bit of a gut punch though...
I've only ever met a few native Germans in person, and understand just enough to get to the bathroom, so I don't know if I just misheard, or they're one of the few people who do say it that way.
I'll take any native German's word on their own language though! Lol or even anyone who's studied.
I've internally been saying "eesh eel"
... which now seems like calling it "me earl'
Cuba, the "dirty evil communist" country that only struggles because of a bullshit embargo placed on them by people who are dead and whose opinions are irrelevant to modern day?
The Cuba that churns out so many doctors, they basically have to leave the country to find work because they have so many doctors already?
The Cuba that, if I bothered to look at quality of life statistics would almost all point to "Cuba is a generally well run country but suffers because of trade bullshit"?
That Cuba?
Or you could try bringing up ~~occupied Palestine~~ "Israel", I'm sure you'll have your "gotcha" moment there!
Legitimately, if they're American, the people in HR probably wouldn't even believe you if you told them about what actually happened during the Irish famine, or how England treated them for decades directly leading to "the troubles"
They would assume you're making it up.
I'm not joking
I was more or less taught in school "oh well it was an oopsie-woopsie, all the crops died but England tried to help them! Oh well, such a terrible natural disaster."
I didn't learn about the darker side of things until I read into it outside school.
The US education system is a joke.
