I’d be surprised if this was accurate. I’ve seen average at Facebook of 350k. But, that’s the problem, we don’t really know as the data is not public.
I would also assume the private company salaries we do know don’t include stock options and bonuses.
I think 700k+ is crazy high for a company without a model for much revenue. However, if they can afford it and the people are worth it, I don’t think it’s a bad thing in and of itself.
I agree with what you’re saying. I also think it’s important to seperate trump as a person to trump as a political entity or trumpism (maga) as a cause.
Trump gets away with stuff, bit because we let him, but because he demands it and does everything to get it. Someone else might retire in disgrace. Hell make claims of fraud and try and incite violent upheaval to auit his purposes.
It’s not so much that he is exempt from consequences, political or legal, it’s that those consequences aren’t being upheld. It’s very groupthink and emperora new clothes. If he thought he was immune, he wouldn’t need to get rid of opposition and stack everywhere with allies and yes men.
Or, if you’ve no strategic goals, you never really fail. It’s a matter of perpspective. And when friendly media take his word as does a cult following, that perspective will be magnified.
I agree, you’re looking at his actions similarly to me, but you’re trying to fit that into an assessment compared to peers or conventional thinking and/or planning. He doesn’t follow norms as he’s not normal.
Well, y that metric, it’s successful. He wanted to flex and bomb. He did. That was the goal. Mission accomplished.
People keep ascribing normal behaviours and motivations to Trump. He clearly doesn’t fit in that box due to mental health issues. He neither understands the purposes of his actions nor has the foresight to see their effect. It’s all reaction, but as long as the emperor continues to have clothes, it works, unfortunately. Those around him can manipulate him until he turns on them. It’s a constant shuffling of loyalties and policies for self benefit.
It’s assumed this was Israel’s doing. Not trumps. As are all his actions. Someone else is pulling his strings.
If you want to change capitalism structure, tearing down privacy tools is not the way to do it.
How much does the equivalent salary at Whatsapp pay?
No, it’s Great Britain AND Northern Ireland. Both being part of the UK. If you’re going to be pedantic, be correct.
Free movement between Ireland and the UK predates the EU and continues to this day. One part of the Brexit discussions was continuing border free travel between north and south on the island of Ireland.
I agree, nobody is coming to save you and you have to do it for yourselves. Bombing protestors, however distasteful, will make it so there is nothing worth saving.
Don’t get me wrong. Terrorism can work. And today’s terrorist is tomorrow’s freedom fighter. I don’t thinknthe USA is at that level of oppression for mqny people to be sympathetic to a terrorist movement, which is a requirement for it to work.
Northern Ireland? Nobody. And tensions remain today but people can love normal loves without oppression.
Or you mean Palestine? Terrorist attacks on either side didn’t help either. Eventually it lead to genocide.
Firstly I’m not a centrist. My beliefs lie firmly on the left.
Secondly, you’re not addressing my points.
It’s easy to be edgy and support terrorism from behind a keyboard. The reality of living under terrorism threats from either side is no better than fascism. See northern Ireland, Palestine, Chechnya, Afghanistan, Nigeria. The only one I’d like to live in is northern Ireland, where the threat of terrorism has subsided due to treating each side as people and ending terrorism.
The only way nazism grows is by treating people like they are not people. This is why nazis take over.
That’s my point. When you lose your humanity, you are no better. The whole point of fascism is to ‘other’ different in and out groups. Exactly what you’re doing, to the point where you think terrorism is ok.
You’re conflating state sponsored violence with random Nazi supporters joking them as private malitia.
Absolutely violence should not be avoided where violence is already being used. However, by all account these nazis were protestors, not the agents of the government.
Nazis are still people and there is still a spectrum of violence and beliefs. In the Nazi bar analogy, they all end up being nazis by virtue of association and tolerance of Nazi views. You’re making the leap to all being Nazis immediately.
Non violent far right protestors have the right to protest and their beliefs. Where they have already perpetrated violence, they should receive it in kind or, ideally prosecution.
The use of IED is not that and just normalises it’s use. Which side has the bigger propensity for violence and bombing of unarmed civilians?
The Dems and the left have a problem where they tut tut and pearl clutch rather than taking action. Jumping to bombing protests is not the answer, however distasteful those protests are.
Most people would be surprised if he was transparently honest at any point in his professional career. It’s all spin and lies.
Terrorism with IEDs is a threat to safety of all and to democracy, even if it is directed at nazis.
Also, what do you think the Nazis do next?
I presume they expect to either way. What this would be designed to do is build resentment in those countries for the bombings against the USA and the governments that align with the USA.
Also, having someone that will continue to make things worse is why its as bad as it can be. The future is known.
Glad the Ellison wasted their money on blocking Netflix from monopoly then.
It was more that the character was a main character and was sexualised, in 3D.
Natalie, a boy named Sue, miss sarajevo, Mr wendal….
I haven’t seen the west wing mentioned. It’s great drama with character arcs thatead to growth, which was unusual for episodic tv at the time. It chronicles the fictional presidents white house team dealing with politics and running the country, with ideals, pragmatism when ideals can’t work and holds politicians to a standard that we’d all benefit from.
The IT crowd has already been mentioned. It is laugh out loud funny, but being British, the absurdist humour can take a bit of getting used to. It’s not meant to depict realism, but charicatures. Don’t be afraid to pirate it as the lead writer is a massive dickhead.
Chernobyl is amazing, as others have said. Really tender exploration for the people that would have been involved at all levels. It’s harrowing at parts, inspiring at others. It makes us all seem human rather than a world of countries.
Buffy is peak for me with the knster of the week, overarching main baddie for a season and the funny quips mixed in. Others prefer angel or xfiles or fringe. However if any of the above tickle your fancy, you should try the others. Then try firefly and the movie.
I haven’t seen much reality TV here. You should check out the UK version of the traitors. It’s amazing TV. Like other reality TV, as the seasons go on, the participants have more of an idea of the course of the show and how they’ll be perceived. In ye first, they are a blank slate and you can see that the stress of deception is getting to them in a real way and the paranoia affects all.
The wire is a great cops and robbers show that bluts the lines between good guys and bad guys. All are just people doing what they can to make their way. Some that’s with crime, some that’s with stopping crime. All have dark sides and a human side.
Luckily all the citizenry is getting good value, with the increasing quality and availability of government services.
