  • Basically the government has been taken over by the fascist military, foreign reserves are already non existent, Pakistan is one of those countries who asks the IMF for a loan every few years, inflation is rising and the bill for electricity is going through the roof cuz god knows how they calculate it. Not to mention, it also has a huuuuge load shedding issue which means it's not uncommon to lose electricity for 6-12 hours everyday and now Pakistan also has natural gas load shedding.

    Soooooooooo, these solar systems pay back their investment much much earlier than other countries I think. Keep in mind that people already don't waste electricity or water or gas cuz of load shedding and high prices. So it's considerably cheaper to move houses to fully solar.

    It's funny how much wastage is there in western countries, iirc the carbon footprint of the average person in a third world country is roughly 10 times lower than developed countries.

  • First part everyone would agree. Second part, no way in hell.

    Hamas is also the government, which means they are government employees who have never taken a gun or done anything. But you go beyond and call every supporter of them "in favor of literal terrorism"

    It's like blaming all jews and supporters of judaism for the action of zionists

  • A friend of mine said something reaaaaaalllllly controversial. IDF claims everyone in GAZA is a terrorist. But look at Israel, everyone has mandatory military service. Everyone has either been in IDF, is currently in IDF, or will be in IDF.

    If anything the opposite of "everyone in GAZA is a terrorist" holds more ground honestly.

  • womp womp

  • I think it is because we humans are not rational.

    In a free market society, over time, every seller would charge for their service as much as they can. And the service they themselves use, will in turn charge them as much as they can.

    This would be an optimal system, if only humans were rational creatures. When prices for a service increase too much, we should stop using it and go for alternatives, which would create more incentives for competition to grow and prices to come down etc.

    But i think, we don't think rationally. Sometimes, even when we know something is bad for us, we still do it cuz of lack of self control or other reasons.

  • Your whole point is "you don't know" without actually providing anything. I may be wrong but at least im saying something. Please try and at least say something, otherwise what's the point of your comment? Gain upvotes/give down votes on lemmy?

    And at least for me, I actually live in EU and many of my friends have worked and many acquaintances are still working as servers so at least my opinion has some worth.

    Where are you from btw?

  • Lol, what?

    I am literally talking about how much suffering it would cause if we keep trying to "fix capitalism" with bandage after bandage and how each and everything would need fixing which will turn into something not capitalistic anyways.

    I don't want to be rude but people should have better reading comprehension and learn to read between the lines or just read i guess.

  • Sure tipping for things may not be applicable in eu. But here's another example: imagine the first person who got a loan cuz they wanted to buy a house but didn't have the money at the time.

    The bank who lent the money did a nice thing. Other banks and people started doing the same. And because people had access to more money, the price of houses increased to match with it.

    Despite the fact that those people don't actually have that money and now it is a requirement. Nobody can afford to buy a house unless they go into debt. Again this is capitalism and the free market in action.

    The reason tipping so "people can have livable wage" is not a thing in the EU is because the EU does have a livable minimum wage.

    The concept of minimum wage is inherently anti-capitalistic. It is against the principles of free market.

  • The issue with tipping is an issue with capitalism.

    It is capitalism that has ruined nice things. Imagine the first person who tipped someone because their service was good and it was a nice thing to do. Next other people started doing it as well, which makes the profession with tipping more favorable.

    This leads to a higher supply of workers and lower demand and the market adjusts which means lower pay because "they will receive tips".

    Also it is easy to vilify the shop owners for doing something that the system encourages and even demands them. We don't know how or in what ways the shop owners are suffering because of the system.

    Also to acknowledge their suffering is not to say that their suffering is equal to the suffering of their workers but rather we need to identify that everybody suffers in capitalism (except the very rich/elites).

    The way to fix this is to stop tipping altogether. This will hurt the workers for sure but their suffering is necessary in order for things to change, at least under the current system.

    Or alternatively, we can try and abolish the system altogether.

    Are there any parents with ADHD children here? (need 2-3 mins of your time for a survey for a project)

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/31426655

    Hi, I am taking part in a research project and for that I need to conduct a very small survey. It is about the daily challenges faced by parents raising children who struggle with ADHD and aggressive behavior. My goal is to better understand the specific difficulties families encounter, so we can identify and develop more effective resources and support.

    We are currently in the very early phase where we conduct this survey and later, me and my team will be working towards creating a technical solution (most likely an app) for emotional fitness and mental health for this.

    Thanks in advance for taking the time in filling out the survey.

    Here are the questions:

    1. What are the most challenging moments or behaviors you encounter with your child on a typical day?
    2. How does your child's ADHD and aggression impact their relationships with you, their siblings, friends, or classmates?
    3. What strategie
