      It’s an interesting point.

      I would assume, personally, given that the Biden admin and Trump I admin were staffed with actual serious people, that there were more guardrails and oversight and Alex Karp had to be better behaved in his business operations. The billionaires, however, are running the asylum now, and there are absolutely no guardrails.

      In 10-20 years, when Donald is gone and people feel safe to write books about what’s actually happening right now, it’s going to make for interesting and enlightening reading.

    Responsible personnel?
    In a government?
    In this time, age and economy?

    Holy fuck. I must be dreaming.

      Pedro Sanchez is a capable prime minister of the ruling Spanish Socialist Worker’s Party. Unfortunately, his party and his family members are embroiled in scandals which tarnishes his legacy. But that’s not to say that Pedro isn’t corrupt himself, he just hadn’t been directly implicated.

          As an outsider, I kinda like him but hearing of the controversies surrounding him, it says a lot that he could be looking the other way even though he may not be directly involved.

      You’d think that an entities senior leadership and investors being populated with openly corrupt, anti-democratic, mentally-ill, psychopathic, megalomaniacal, fascists and pedophiles would be a deal breaker, but most of the political class across Liberal “democracies” don’t have a problem with it.

            There are very different rules. Like worlds different.

            Comparing just Belgium and the Netherlands right next to each other. The Netherlands is quite doable if you find a job. Some automatic work visas and then residence based on that depending on origin country

            In Belgium literally no company in the country outside of IMEC and Deloitte will go through the extremely long visa sponsorship program (only digitalized in 2022 IIRC). It is pretty much only possible if you have family or a partner that already lives there. Even people studying there for 3-8 years have a few months to find a job or they are kicked out (in a bad job market compared to other countries also).

            That site doesn’t address residency or visa requirements. But I can confirm, they are different depending on the country of origin and destination.

        Maybe because AI loves using adverbs. Like, there is always an uncanny amount of adverbs. So my guess is those headlines are ai generated or at least partially written
