Listed at $322 currently, meaning you bought it half price or less in ‘22. Good purchase!

Do you have a Kimovil link for this incredible phone?

I like the idea of a register a lot.

Do you also talk about it though? I was in Denmark on business for a couple of weeks and I don’t recall there being a discussion about it.

In my country I’m only aware of statistics published by a newspaper (source may be statista, some agency or a job portal). I find the values weird however as I earn way above the stated value for my general description. I’m in a bit of a niche however so that might work to my benefit. The statistics still feel like ‘expectation management’ to me though.

Not denying that it’s legal and beneficial to discuss that. It’s unfortunately not common (yet?).

Pretty disarming for unsuspecting foreigners.

That would indeed be a WTF moment for me.

In what countries is it custom to openly discuss salary? In Germany and most if not all countries I’ve been to professionally it is not the norm. This is of course bad for transparency/employees and good for employers.

Scholars seem to agree it stems from Proto-Indo-European, so Latin is not the source.

It can be spelled the same but is never pronounced the same. Your girlfriend needs to be texting you for this joke to work.

That’s a different topic though! Don’t conflate collecting funds with usage/distribution of funds. We all need to accept that we have to pay (high) taxes. That the upper 10% haven’t paid their fair share in decades and that there is misuse has nothing to do with my tax rate. We need the upper 10% to pay way way more and we need better accountability for usage of the money. Pretty much regardless of where you live on this planet by the way.

I disagree with tax & rent being lumped together. I have no problem with my (high) tax rate as it supports education, infrastructure, etc. The outrageously inflated rent goes to the same guy that stole 95% of your pizza in the first place.
