Actually, it's enough for building the Pentagon for its original budget (43million in 1941) adjusted to inflation: 767 million. Though building materials and labour are starkly cheaper now, so maybe 2 or 3 Pentagons

Essentially, cancelling public holidays will in short term add some slave labourto the company, which in turn maybe add more profits, more b2b economical activity, and if France has any decent corporate tax and not too many loopholes, some money will go into budget to be allocated to usual overspending that got you into this place, and none to repay debts.

Tldr: you're being screwed over, go protest, or ask for raises when this actually occurs.

Essentially, it's "proof by existential intimidation" :D

I am confused. Is he LLM? Is you LLM? Is everybody just a braindead human zombie that can be approximated by LLM?? Is internet dead even in Lemmy?

It's a tabloid-quality "study", but if you shuck away all the words she uses, and look at the numbers which are more easily attributed to actual gold-digging

There are five million members on SeekingArrangement. Overall, the site has 3.8 million Sugar Babies, and 12% are male: 460,000. Moreover, this is an 84% jump in male Sugar Baby membership from the start of 2014.

Kind of 10 vs 1

Millennial men are also more likely to want to have a prenuptial agreement than males of other generations (32% vs. 25% of Gen X males and 17% of Boomer males) perhaps because they are more likely to be viewing marriage as a financial/contractual arrangement as much as a romantic partnership.

And this is just pure farce. Prenuptial agreements are for protecting from gold-diggers and taking the money away from having to do anything with the marriage. i.e. The opposite. Focusing on romance (if it exists).

To clarify, everybody knows marriage is a financial arrangement. You would have to be an intense fool to ignore that. Whether you do something to protect yourself against unbalanced finances is just a question of your perception of society.

You could probably say I am picking out pieces. And I am. But if you just look at the numbers and ignore the farce of the author, I think you can make more truthful conclusions. (The whole piece reads to me like purposeful twisted propaganda, starting from the title. Or, well, just tabloid-quality journalism)

Idk man, I think you neither looked at the statistics, nor lived that long on this world. While true, it is extreme to only have one side of the coin, the other side is just not as likely by statistics...

In the end... it's a game? I mean, I guess I grew up to live with rifles and walk with a switchblade while going to the store. And expect all women to be scantily clad mages walking with staves and high heels.

Dont doomsay so much, there's a completely reasonable balance.... that we are exceptionally far away from, because society is a kangaroo court on sale for the highest bidder.

Somehow beautiful. Calling out bullshit, but also agreeing.

I generally think all politicians should be forced to retire from political work by at most 60yo.

It's even less of a thing. Things like AWS have datacenters in Europe, where most of Europe-side of traffic is hosted. Even if Trump made executive decisions to stop any internets companies doing business in Europe, it would have ZERO impact on the subsidy. Any cloud issues would really only impact "vertical scaling cloud-native" bullshit software, there are plenty and most reasonable companies are based on more sane (and less expensive) hosting solutions, which are in-house European.

Takes a massive fool to think European companies are basing their data in US continent, where the ping would be >150ms, and speeds would be far slower and less manageable.

At some point, with a quarter hundred downvotes and many negative replies, the person you should first inspect is not the other, but self.

I wouldn't define flipping coins as decision making. Especially when it comes to blanket governmental policy that has the potential to kill (or severely disable) millions of people.

You seem to not want any people to teach you anything. And are somehow completely dejected at such perceived actions.
