I live in a poorly insulated apartment. It’s very cold in winter and heating it to 19°C all the time would cost around 500€ a month.

The problem is the choice of materials and the designs… no good shade against the sun (I have shutters and that helps a bit), concrete walls that give off tons of heat for days (impossible to cool by airing out at dawn after 3 days of intense heat during the day), no provision for AC or proper ventilation (it’s built on top of the foundations from an old farm with a nice cellar it could have natural ventilation from there chilling the living spaces).

Here’s to my solvency hopefully outlasting this madness.

Is there a sane index fund somewhere that avoids ecocidal bullshit, fraud, cronyism and genocide?

Even longer in France. Strangely enough some people have 500 prepaid SIMs to their name and are in 500 places at once!

Beef is heavily subsidised either by giving money directly to the producers, or letting them get away with pollution (or deforestation in places like Brazil) and using terrible food and/or drugs for their product.

Without subsidies I’m pretty sure beef wouldn’t be affordable even in rich countries.

As if sex workers were treated fairly in the EU…

Unions at least know good lawyers but it wasn’t necessary at all, the first denial was just to waste my time. Sadly union membership in France is becoming insignificant so they’re not as good as they once were.

And I was saying France is “communist” in jest.

The regulation is all right in France but insurance definitely has some very favourable laws (many delays for notifying them are quite short to the point where with shortages of GPs you have to waste everyone’s time at the ER if you really need to be off work).

Every workplace accident I’ve had has been denied at first due to technicalities. In France, touted as the great communist system where you pay nothing (which is of course wrong).

Google has every incentive to break reCAPTCHA competitors and/or use botnets to spam anything not protected by reCAPTCHA.

But don’t worry social credit systems where you’re barred from public transport is so dystopian only the Chinese do it.
