What you said is true but what’s also true is that millennials are so crushed under grind culture and financial burdens that they don’t have the time to parent that used to be the norm, so where overworked boomers let the TV raise their kids, parents today are letting the iPad do it, which is turning out to be exponentially worse for development.
I feel like every time I hear about the swiss government I hear something different about what it’s structure is and how it is meant to operate.
This has lead me to conclude the swiss government is in fact a series of investment bankers all furiously accusing the others of being the feds out to tax their income.
Problem is in the US since so much of that is put into private sector hands we’d need to gather data on those costs outside of the taxes to put together a proper picture.
TBF Zoomers and Alphas look to be inheriting that tech illiteracy
To me it seems that the most effective regulations are to ban the use of black box algorithms in content presentation, create a tiered list of required security standards to be licensed to handle different kinds of sensitive information, nationalize the telecom lines and force all them to share those lines and compete equally in all markets except if they’re a municipal telecom, require social networks to federate via a unified social networking protocol to break the monopoly of “it’s where my friends are”, require multi factor authentication to prevent mass botting, and to require services above a certain number of active users to provide an ad-free version for an equal value to the average advertising profit per user.
One day of basically just walking around like a tourist isn’t quite the same as a 9-5 at even low intensity jobs
Also, he’s probably not able to find work, it’s the 60s-70s in the UK and Joe only ever worked at Wonka’s, odds are he doesn’t have the qualifications to work for anyone else, and anyone he might be able to are probably covered by the VERY intense NC order Wonka probably made his workers sign after the breach of his IP.
He wished to be a prince, his royal entourage hypothetically included several people capable of assassinating Jafar on the order, it was just down to Aladdin being a stickler for being an active participant in proceedings that hindered him taking that less direct route.
A Djinn’s wishes are meant to serve as a lesson about understanding what you actually want while Shenron’s limitations are more about keeping any mortal who can summon him from stepping beyond their bounds, especially since we now have the super dragonballs implying significant limitations on what regular dragonballs are capable of in comparison.
Honestly it’d be interesting to see a comparison of wish granting powers to understand what their limitations imply about their roll in the story.
