I know you're just kidding but he's actually a great guy, wrote a few books and has a website with nice stuff that can be very useful in surviving trump's apocalypse .

You'd have to find people who are willing to put in more than they receive, and they (as a group) have to put an equal amount as people who are not able to put in the full amount, because it needs to equal out in the end. This would basically be a group of people sharing their income with people with lower incomes. Imagine it would start by spreading just €10 every month to people who are in need of money by the people who have a surplus of money - it would already be a hard sell. I expect the 'rich' participants to be more likely to donate to charity. To be honest, I don't think this is gonna work on a small scale. But I won't stop you if you were to get something like this going ofcourse

I think that holds more true for other industries, in this case it is more about western companies wanting to sell stuff in China.

No country captures the reversal of the global automotive order better than Germany.

The wealth of Europe’s largest economy was built in large part on exports to China as the country grew rapidly following its economic opening-up in the 1980s.

Germany’s automotive giants — Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz — were in the vanguard and spent decades earning a significant share of their revenue and profit in China.

I have a firetv stick and a playstation hooked up to my TV (which is smart, but horribly slow) and would never choose to stream something on my playstation if it's about usability. Maybe a playstation remote might make a difference but still

They also mentioned getting good tires after they started doing that, not before

If the produced stuff last longer it wouldn't mean there would be less competition on innovation, people would still have a reason to sell you their old appliances because they want certain new function. This law is against making stuff that can't be repaired or breaks easily. Don't think you'd buy a 2 year old tv if it doesn't work, right.

Where I live you can easily give your stuff away or donate it to a charity shop, but it's a tiny bit less effort to chuck it in the trash so there are people who do that. Not all of them, thank god, but you can come across decent stuff every one in a while. Do have to say people are more likely to dump cheap stuff than reliable stuff from known brands.

France on Friday announced the "Choose France for Science" platform, operated by the French National Research Agency (ANR), which will enable universities, schools, and research organisations to apply for co-funding from the government to host researchers.

This is a good thing, but always France has to take the 'we are going to fix this ourselves'-approach. Maybe it would have taken a lot longer, but I would really prefer to see a "choose EU for science" program, supported by the commission.

Ah, I am guilty of liking that. But I do think it is a very different taste than regular dark roasted chocolaty coffee and they should suprise you with a funky light-roasted one as their standard bean. Those are more suited for specialty places where they have multiple grinders with multiple beans.
