My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany
He makes €41,000 a year before tax
Last week he got an offer from a big tech company in the US that would net him $350,000
"Are you going to take it?" I asked him
"It's a good offer, but I would actually earn less than now"
He is right. In Europe, he makes €41,000 and gets:
- Free healthcare
- Strong privacy protections
- Diversity
- Pension benefits
If you count this in, it's much more than $350,000
European salaries are the highest in the world if you adjust for quality of life
@jgriffith998@Harry__Faulkner I recommend you listen to it again. His self-congratulatory statements of his accomplishments in Canada are demonstrably false, not to mention his statement that "Canada is a pluralistic society that works. Our public square is loud, diverse and free.”
lol, reading the comments in this thread makes it clear why the world, and Canada especially, needs to reduce our economic and military relationship with the US. We've all got to hedge. IMHO Carney's speech was great and just being realistic about the world as it is. I recommend giving it a listen. Right wing Canadian here.
WATCH: U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick lashes out at Mark Carney in Davos.
"They have the second-best deal in the world, and all I gotta do is listen to this guy whine and complain?"
Lutnick says Trump views Carney's speech as "political noise" for his reelection bid.
Reminder, Mark Carney during the Convoy went out of his way to write an article to the media asking for the police to do their job and remove these peacefully protesting Canadians. He called them seditionists.
He had no problem with this.
@_arieswoman@Odoo Agreed! We are in the implementation process and many search results lead to the forums. I can't understand why it would take so long to fix such an integral part of this solution.
I hope they didn't "lose" the data, otherwise that undermines my confidence in their hosting.
@LammersFairy@coreyhoganyyc Please use your last two brain cells to see the forest for the trees. If you can't see JT and MC for the clowns they are, then you're part of the circus.
@coreyhoganyyc It's a typical PP stunt. He did this type of mockery while JT was PM. Enough of his games I don't even read his posts they are ridiculous.
The Conservative pipeline motion is an unserious stunt that tries to score points at the expense of our nation.
A yes vote could undermine consultation. A no vote could undermine confidence. Canada loses either way.
@coreyhoganyyc So you're saying that signing a MOU, knowing full well that it won't get built this way WASN'T a cheap ploy to score political points? He's calling your bluff and you're crying. You guys are next level.
@LLBiggers historical charts of warming over the past 12.000 years. sea levels have risen hundreds of feet--why does anyone think we can magically stop that now?
@Jill1Sweden I'm dying 🤣 All this growing we did ...We said we were going to so it must mean it happened lol Thats the standard now...just declare it and it is 😂
@TonyLaneNV Why is this even a question? Reckless cycling should carry the same penalties as reckless driving. Too many arrogant “I can do anything” cyclists.
Wild clip: A bicyclist blasted through a crosswalk in the dark and slammed straight into a car that was rolling through a yield sign.
So here’s the question…
Who’s actually at fault here?
The driver — or the cyclist flying in at full speed with no visibility?
Thoughts? ⬇️ 🇺🇸
@RickFreedland@MarkJCarney Liberals parroting about “destroying democracy” is comedy gold given their own record of trampling freedoms, abusing power and swimming in corruption.
And seriously, refer me to your dealer. That copium is premium grade.
These negative comments about Canada are Fox News propaganda. Fools who voted for felon Trump are stupid. Canada is thriving thanks to tariffs. They have Rare earth minerals. The Arctic. Steel. Nickel. Copper. Farm produce. Fair taxation. No Fox News. Trump is making Canada Great Again.
Carney is 50 times smarter than Trump. He’s not a felon or rapist but a brilliant economist and financial expert. Trump is a con artist. A felon. A misogynist. A sociopathic narcissist. A sexual abuser. Misogynist. A paranoid greedy fool who had a rich father. He can’t spell MRI!
These losers are upset as we fall into recession. No jobs. Tax cuts for the wealthy. High prices for food. US has lost billions in vacationers to Florida and Arizona. Canada is buying new planes from Sweden and Europe.
We’re spending millions shooting boats and repairing the White House. Killing people illegally.
See who these tweets are coming from? The ones who are trying to destroy Democracy. They will enjoy another Great Depression.
Great news for Canadians.
We're diversifying our trade partners and building big at home — creating new career opportunities for Canadians, especially young people.
Leftist student tried to block an interview Drea Humphrey was conducting.
And to no one’s surprise it’s a white woman.
I don’t know about you, but I have liberal white woman fatigue. 🫠
@DreaHumphrey
It’s often the most vulnerable Canadians who don’t file their taxes and miss out on the benefits they need or have paid into.
So we’re introducing Automatic Federal Benefits — pre-filing taxes for up to 5.5 million lower-income Canadians.
@AbGamble1 Please look deeper into how they arrived at this mystical "2.6%". It is annualized from a single quarter, which followed one that was negative. Net annual GDP will be about 0.1%.
It's like me going to a casino one day, winning $1000 and proclaiming I make $365k/yr
We dodged the "recession tag" due to stronger exports in the third quarter. This has been attributed to our Governments aggressive push to increase international trade outside of the USA 🇺🇸.
