The best way to make money is to already have money invested. You take the proceeds from your earlier investments and invest in MORE assets.

In this case it’s real estate.

Exploding property process will do that.

Average houses in most cities are at or over 1 million easy.

Similarly to what happened with UKIP, the Tories will just take Reforms policies, bring in new further-right leadership and support will come back.

Especially after Labour (who just got elected on a fairly bland centrist manifesto) won’t manage to magically fix things in 2-3 years. Conservative media will blame Labour for all the issues (even though most are the fault of the Tories) and Conservative voters will rally around the banner of “Labour out!”.

Or Reform just eats the Tories, which seems a but less likely to me, but either way the split won’t last.

I’ve literally never had this work for me, sadly

I want to see a new Home Alone where 44-year old McCauley Culkin plays an 8 year old and no one acknowledges that he isn’t actually 8 years old.

It’s been years since I had to deal with MATLAB licenses, since basically everything in scientific computing/data science uses Python these days!

It’s even more popular than the ‘main’ version!

But please based on wealth rather than income.

Rich people don’t become rich from income.

I mean, I’m saying that.

To me I’ve never understood why sit-down restaurants should be looked at any differently to any other business. Why can’t the actual price just be listed on the menu?

Like, if we’ve collectively decided that the actual price is 20% higher than what is listed, then let’s just treat this like every other profession and raise prices by 20%.

Why are people taking orders and carrying food special? Other customer-facing positions generally don’t get tips. Chefs (who make the food!) generally don’t get tips.

Just pay the waitstaff a fair wage and quit the tipping!

In most European countries governments are elected for 3-6 years (though they may end up happening more frequently since, most places, it’s possible to call early elections). The campaigning only really happens for 1-2 months before the election.

The fact that the US essentially spends 1.5-2 years campaigning for a 4 year position is insanity to me!
