actually, while it doesn't change the conclusion hardly, we have all forgotten that 395k wage is a combined income.

I mean these are still silly high wages.. Having said that though, both the combined income, and that it's very conceivable a good portion of that income is from capital gains, not work... they probably get more take home out of that 395k income than we'd expect too...

I'm not sure there is actually a proper definition of 'rich' that would allow you to accurately classify a group of incomes into rich and not rich.

But if you were to think of it in terms of the 'feeling' I'd say I'd feel rich if I never had to choose a cheaper option for anything at all, ever, could eat out and check into a hotel for the night any time I liked, all whilst currently putting away a handsome investment of some kind - but still have more disposable income than I could possible waste between income periods with nothing but my own debauchery (barring expensive drug habits).

That's what I call rich - basically never having to worry about your supply of money, thing is, some people can achieve this on much less than others due to their tastes and circumstances. I'd feel rich if I worked 9-5 and took home upwards of £300k for sure. Others might not though.

In a world of grok inserting south african genocide talking points into random unrelated questions...

A french AI that randomly throws in croissant recipies & serving suggestions could be a funny rebuke.

Yanno I had to double take the headline, at first it read like 'The criminal named elton john condemns..."

It is.

But why not just keep it and get the tech used at home? You don't sell a valuable asset to an economic rival just to spite another economic rival. What you do is you cling on to every technological advantage you have in the market place and capitalise on it as much as you can.

an export tariff to fight their import tariff? that's one way of saying we dgaf about your tariffs I suppose. And if they end up dropping the tariff because it's hurting them too much, well that'd be the ultimate humiliation.

 

I'm still amazed nobody made more noise about the fact she wasn't charged.

One can only possibly wonder why the usual suspects complaining about two tier policing and people getting away with crimes (even when convicted with lengthy sentences, yeah makes no sense) when they should be punished didn't seem too bothered about this.
