A lol, thank you, IANA mathematician obviously. Well to keep the math correct, we could say the lawfirm had 7 people work the case 24hrs 365 days a year.

But damn that man is rich

They aren't real snobs because they don't look down on you, it is in most cases not about you personally. They just think their culture is superior which sounds very arrogant but below that is just plain old narcasism. Also historically they're are from 'the cultured part of europe' and had to deal with the basic lowlife from England (have you eaten their food?), the Dutch (have you seen their clothes?) and the Germans (have you seen what their homes). It's like how the Romans looked at the Germanic tribes they just like superficial stuff like pretty food on pretty tables wearing pretty dresses. There are plenty of places people will treat you much worse and above all this is just a stereotype which is true on the one hand but there are a lot of different people living in France just like in any other country. Also they have crêpes.

I agree, just wanted to point out there is a meaningful difference between those two problems their solutions.

Though the last part of your comment confuses me, do you mean we Belgium or we Germany? And you write do this, but I'm not sure what this refers to.

There definitely are companies who's owner (you're right, the ceo can not always make this decision) to spread the profits more equally over the employees. Even though the system pushes companies to compete for talent and pay the high positions high wages, they aren't forced by this. The other way around is true too.

Look at Apple for example, they make loads of money. Still the factory workers (which, I know, are not directly employed by apple) work 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week.

The people in charge definitely get to choose whether they accept or resist the system they manouver in. Many big companies even spend money to get the system to benefit them. Have you ever heard companies fighting for an increase in the minimum wage? I haven't. But I sure hear them if a new environmental law threatens their competetiveness.

You cannot divide something as complex as this in good and evil, but big international corporations more often behave on the evil side of the spectrum, a lot more often, then they behave on the good side of it.

Thanks wasn't sure, Europe had a buy 1 get 1 free because it made the euro unstable since not all countries fell equally hard after the "poof".

Well, good news:

The Journal article notes that Musk has attempted to get all the various members of his “harem” to congregate in a compound that he recently had built in Austin, Texas. However, most of the women seem to have expressed disinterest in this (https://gizmodo.com/it-certainly-looks-like-elon-musks-legion-of-kids-is-bigger-than-anyone-imagined-2000590199)

  1. he won't ruin south-america

  2. his "harem" is not giving up without a fight

Damn.

edit: the * mssed with the formatting, by the way crazy fact, the lawfirm in this case would bill 1.226.400 hours per case/child.
