Yes, that happens. The far more serious problem, though, is the widespread support among workers who gain nothing from it. The ideology we absorb in the West from an early age goes something like: "Anyone can make it. It's just a matter of hard work. And therefore, those with even less than you are lazy and deserve their fate." That dynamic is far more consequential than a handful of top earners.

So this just happened in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦. A driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of his vehicle, got upset at her, before leaving the scene
Wow, I can't wrap my head around hitting someone with a car and then berating them before driving away. Psychopathic shit. I hope they catch him.

China now faces 245% Trump tariff
I mean at some point the number doesn't matter anymore as most trade will just stop.

Bomb someone. Immediately call "total ceasefire" so they can not retaliate. Art of the Deal.

If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.

I can really recommend this video by Technology Connections which answers your questions very well. It is long but entertaining and educational. The last 30 minutes are basically a rant about politics and I love every second of it.

Rettet die Rückkehr der Verbrenner deutsche Jobs? „Ich fürchte, das Gegenteil ist der Fall“
Ich sehe das als dornige Chance für Deutschland. In zwanzig Jahren können wir eines der wenigen Länder sein, in der der Verbrenner weiterhin unangefochten ist. Das ist ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal und könnte den Tourismus anfeuern: "Guck mal Papa, aus dem Auto kommt Qualm, wie vor hundert Jahren!" "Vorsichtig, geht nicht zu nah ran, das ist giftig!"
Die Innovation ist verpasst, lasst uns doch lieber für immer in der Vergangenheit verweilen.

"Dann zogen sie meine Hose runter": Razzia mit welchem Recht?
Wirklich heftig, welche Befugnisse die Polizei in Bayern hat und wie selbstverständlich sie diese überschreitet.

Yeah, it's a trend on Reddit that's spreading (see what I did there? Heh, sex). I don't like it at all. The punchline is either non-existent, "heh, sex" or women being horny. Just uninspired stuff. I get why the artists do it, it pays the bills. But I'm not too keen on it.

The richest 10% of Americans now account for 50% of the country’s consumer spending while the bottom 60% account for just 20%.
Aha, there you have it folks. Those pesky poor people are not only lazy, they also ruin the economy by spending so little!!

Sunday question: What do you say about Berlin abolishing the 30 km/h speed limit because the air has improved thanks to the 30 km/h speed limit?
This really hurts my brain. How can politicians be this shortsighted?
I'm living here and you are absolutely correct. Public transit is good. Most streets are 50 km/h. Some are 30 but that is oftentimes not enforced.
Several studies have shown that a speed limit of 30 km/h can massively reduce the number and severity of accidents. But as Germans we hate the idea of slowing down for other road users. We bought those shiny non electric cars and we want to blast through the city, god damnit!

Climber on trial for leaving girlfriend to die on Austria's highest mountain
That's a tough call. Sounds to me that it was reckless to climb the mountain under those conditions but both decided to go ahead. Nevertheless, the reaction of the accused to the emergency is bad. Calling the police and then putting his phone on silent makes little sense. Leaving her to "get help" is of course futile.
