I don't know the model exactly but every Uber (maybe six of them?) I was in in Mexico City was the same model BYD and it was really plasticky and they all rattled on every bump in the road.
Maybe their more expensive models are better but they're damaging their brand putting it on those cars.
Leave for the US now if you can, while TN still exists.
Canada at least used to be cleaner and safer and only slightly poorer than the US but since 2019 the divergence has been incredible and now I regret not leaving sooner.
Anyone even slightly above average in intelligence or work ethic will do better in the US, don't let online leftist echo chambers convince you otherwise!
Elon and Bezos aren't extracting anything from me.
The investments of the rich (at least in America) translate directly into employment and innovation.
Vancouver is SF-level drug disorder paired with Detroit salaries, in no way is it more "livable" than a nice US suburb.
I just bought an Xbox Series X and logged in via QR code and Xbox app on my phone. No need to type into the console.
The percentage of the population that needs to work will continue to go down because of aging and automation although you might not see it as a reduction of hours for a given individual employed person.
Already 38% of Americans aged 16 or older do not work and are not looking for work and yet are not dying from hunger or exposure. This would have seemed like a utopian dream to someone from the 1800s.
If you make $2000 and your rent is $1800 are you food insecure or rent insecure?
This is a miscategorization imo, food is incredibly cheap compared to any American income or welfare program.
Ok but the corporations are ultimately owned by humans who are alive so there is no way around the generational wealth transfer other than destroying wealth.
The US healthcare system is incredible compared to socialized systems if you can afford it. That's at least part of the reason it represents 17% of GDP. The same procedure I needed had a 2 day wait time in the US and a 10 month wait time in Canada.
Depressingly, they bought a house in 1995 before the prices exploded. You need a 94th percentile income in Toronto to barely qualify for the average house.
How so? If you don’t touch the principal you can live off the investment returns forever and so can your descendants.
In Australia? The houses are like 30x-100x more expensive than a battery, how would this be possible?
This is what most airlines and hotels do, the best prices go on google flights and google hotels and the worst prices are in their own apps.
Who do you invoice if, for example, you own a vending machine that sells chips and sodas for cash or contactless? Why couldn’t this be treated the same?
Why would anyone prefer public transit over a self driving comfortable personal car?
I bet someone said the same thing about an email or an IM vs a handwritten letter at some point in the past but here we are.
The driver makes more than Uber does on (almost?) every ride. So they did.
If you genuinely refuse to use AI for any part of your job in 2026 you are the moron.
Of course, you can go too far in the other direction but that's not what your comment is describing.
Canada just gives you a fixed amount of cash every year for the sales tax that they estimate that you paid on a regular amount of consumption (HST credit) which solved that problem.
I don't think it's fair that someone who earns $400k and spends $400k is paying roughly the same taxes as someone earning $400k and spending $100k. You should pay more taxes the more luxurious your life is, not the more productive you are.
Grading assignments just punishes people that don't cheat on their homework. It's worse than worthless, it actively helps the worst students.
Yeah, pretty much. You can make enough money in 10-15 years in tech in America to last a lifetime in Europe, even without the remote job.
A semi-skilled English-speaking customer service agent in PH makes less than $700 a month to put this into perspective.
Working abroad is a totally reasonable proposition compared to working in the Philippines.
Working from the beach is much more enjoyable than working from a cubicle in Toronto in January all work tasks being equal.
Much cheaper too, ridiculously enough.
MyFitnessPal takes a lot of clicks to log one meal, I can just use natural language with openclaw.
There is no way a condo would continue to cost $2500/mo in a world where there isn't a concentration of well-paid office jobs in that location.
NK is safe from invasion because of conventional artillery pointed at Seoul.
That's why they were able to develop nuclear weapons in the first place.
Coke in Singapore is a different recipe with less sugar.
Sure but price to income has never been lower if you're willing to move and work remotely (or retire on investment income) somewhere cheaper.
If you want to live in the best real estate in the world and expect to continue doing so when you have no job, that's not going to happen. If you're willing to adapt and spread out you can live better and freer than ever in a hypothetical world where AI has taken most jobs.
Rent/mortgage would be dirt cheap if you didn't have to live near a job.
