I worked at IKEA as a teenager and some summers as a student. We spend most of the down time and breaks discussing where we would like to study and which jobs we had applied to. My manager was very encouraging and helpful at suggesting fields to study/work at.
The wasn't hell or anything, just super uninspired and boring.
In my country we actually teach a lot about personal finance in math class. We even have divided math class in high school since we understand that math is very difficult for lots of people and almost trivial to others. So those who want a more practical approach to math and don't need to learn integrals and second order polynomials and shit get lots and lots of practical problems on basic economics, personal and societal and converting between units and such.
Take one guess at whom it is that rant about how we need to teach basic personal finance in school?
Yes indeed. For a lot of people it's as easy as "current system bad, let's try this other thing" and then they rationalize it somehow.
Personally I don't think we have figured the right system out yet. And due to technological, economical and cultural development what worked best previously will most likely not be the best system moving forward anyway.
I'm all for trying out new things and see what works. A lot of what we do now obviously isn't working and there's so much counterintuitive stuff that happens that I say we, the people of earth, just try a lot of things, we have enough countries and subcountries that there's room to test even things that seems like nonsense to most people.
Smith's main goal with capitalism was to create a system to distribute the wealth of the nation to the people of the nation to the betterment of all. In his time feudal lords sat in their huge estates, hoarding wealth and waged pointless war to the detriment of everyone else. Capitalism was a radically left wing ideology for its time.
Am Norwegian. We argue a lot of whether we live under socialism or capitalism, we have a pretty good mix of both I think. Also, I dont think they're really mutually exclusive, it's more like some parts of society like healthcare, trains and police make sense to do as socialism and other things like TV channels, grocery stores and construction make sense to do as regulated capitalism.
Most relatable meme in a while, feels weird to feel so much nostalgia for an Operating system
No, quick is snabb, so its a snabbslut
In my Magic the Gathering community there's a few kids, youngest was 12 at some point. Most of us are adults 20-50.
I really like interacting with the kids, they bring a lot of innocent joy and glee to the game that many adults seems to forget, they're also quite competent and do win a lot.
We don't treat them much different from adults, apart from not talking about politics, interests rates and other boring adults stuff that suddenly became super interesting as soon as I got a job and mortgage.
In Norwegian it's all together (alle sammen).
Should be Klokk tbh.
It's very much on brand for Peer, at least in the beginning of the play https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_Gynt
