As an employee doing your taxes is optional in Germany as taxes are already deducted by the employer.

According to official statistics [0] the Golf is still selling more than twice as many units per month and the ID3 is selling 50% more than the Model 3. The Model 3 is more comparable to the BMW i3 numbers wise.

Re:Amazon workers vote against unionizing in Alabama

Especially in that region, I would take this vote rather as an indicator of the lack of alternatives. Amazon is so large that they could simply scrap that location without being that bothered, yet the workers do not have that freedom. The choice is between taking what you can get even if it is tied to bad working conditions or having nothing at all.

Is that really a realistic driver scenario or was that the nice story told by Uber? From my (limited) experience with Uber drivers, none of them only "drove an extra 15min out of their way" on their normal commute, nothing even close to it. It was a job like any other for them.

Genuinely curious, how are two full white-collar jobs in parallel even physically possible? Are they remote with completely flexible hours and not full time?
