For people to demand anything you’ll need a democracy. For people to want universal healthcare they need to understand that socializing the health cost is a benefit for the population.

Add the words together and you get social democracy.

In most countries this is what lead to universal healthcare. In most countries the social democracy parties were founded by labour unions.

Despite USA being first with labour unions, they never really succeeded, because they were violently struck down early on.

Anyway, it’s that simple: Join a union, let the union establish a political party, let the party make universal healthcare. I know that seems very uphill, but it doesn’t actually have to take centuries to do.

When the first unions were formed in Europe, the workers also expected it to be a multigenerational battle, and yet decided to try it in the vague hope that it might eventually benefit their grandchildren. However they were so successful that they achieved the goal within their own lifetime.

Same. The vegan patty has better consistency than their actual beef.

The show “Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries” aired in 1995-2000, so it makes sense if the merch and licensed products are from that period too.

This is then slightly newer than the other stuff on the pile.

The character on the body board graphic might give a clue. I don’t recognize it, but the drawing style of the eye looks like early nineties Disney.

… because they did have it?

It wasn’t universal at the time, covering only the poorest workers, but Germany was the first country to establish a social health care system in 1883. It didn’t work very well during the war, but it was technically still there. Since the war, they gradually expanded it achieving universal coverage sometime in the 1980s.

Too bad for people who are monthly paid.

Trying to censor kids shows isn’t feasible. They’re going to find out anyway, or it will be a massive culture shock when they eventually hear their first swear word as adults. I’d rather take the opportunity to talk with my kids about it if they watch crap.

SpongeBob doesn’t really bother me, but if they watch Alvin and the Chipmunks I always ask them to use headphones, because I can’t stand that shit.

Maybe it’s time to cut ties.

Let the CEO do his business with AI only. Let the developers do their own business without a CEO and without AI.

If I can predict it, I’ll skip to the last step and just not attempt to do it.

This works because the person who is supposed to remind me of the task has a to-do list that takes about two years to go through. By the time she gets to reminding me it’s already irrelevant.

Too fast IMO. You’re setting yourself up for a less than ideal situation. The guy is going to come home tired from work to find you there, not even having had the time to take a shit and get cleaned up before beginning to think about wanting to do anything with anyone. Everyone is different for sure, but from a pure practical view you’re overstaying your welcome.

I’m afraid you’re overqualified. It’s an entry-level job.

Perhaps someone with higher standards like you would be a better fit for our penny-farthing department.

Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.

Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.

I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.

But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.

Sure, but it’s difficult to classify which jobs are objectionable and what the price should be for someone to do them anyway.

If they want to pay me to deliver stuff on a unicycle, I’ll be delivering stuff on a unicycle. Do I want to ride a unicycle? Depends on the pay.

Plumbing is fairly safe from any kind of automation and also well paid.

They do use robots for pipe inspection and minor repairs, but that’s about the extend of what the clankers will ever be able to do.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve needed this, but being too cheapskate to buy a proper one, I’ve just been balancing my phone on the sheet stand, which sucks.

Aready is. Their strategy is longer than four years so it just doesn’t seem so obvious, but they’re slowly and steadily gaining more control of the globe than any other country.

They are so afraid that they pretend to ignore diseases all together.

the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount

This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won’t work.

I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don’t get anything done of value of to the company.

It’s like trying to push a door that says pull.
