Yeah, an article with such a headline should be banned from all news-themed communities since 2016 at the very latest, when he proclaimed that autonomous driving is a solved problem.
I recall he claimed fully automated driving would be ready by 2016, and back then I actually believed him.
When other makers said the technology was at least 5 years away, and probably more like 10, I thought they were losers who couldn’t compete.
LOL apparently I too was an idiot for believing Musk, My wife and I even bought a house in the country, where driving a car is a must for shopping and daily life in general, in confidence that we soon would have fully autonomous cars.
1 thing is for sure, when we finally switch to fully electric cars, there is zero chance they will be Tesla, and that’s not because he made 1 mistake.
Well that is a good way for a diplomat to lose their job. Publicly criticizing the head diplomat of the country. Whether or not the criticism is valid is beside the point. One doesn’t go around publicly criticizing the head of state. Now absolutely behind closed doors tell him You should be little more careful, that last public statement might not have been in the best possible tone.
Like it is kinda funny how he got sacked criticizing head of state for what might be interpreted as alliance disunity. While showing national disunity by publicly criticizing his own head of state. Yeah. That gets you fired.
Shakira, and many artists, are known to have done this for a long time. They take a relatively small salary, but then accept huge bonuses on the side. The main salary is easy enough to obfuscate, but unfortunately for Shakira, the tips don’t lie.
People say the Islamic god and the Christian god are the same god, but Christians and Muslims can’t even agree on what their god is within their own religions, hence all the sectarianism, so I don’t really buy that.
Don’t forget Judaism. God, Yahweh and Allah are all the same deity, yet look how much bloodshed has been spilled over which one interpreted things correctly…
It is human decency to not mock faiths and their sacred writings, regardless of what you think the truth is. I do not condone or promote these actions, but be prepared to face the consequences if you are going to harm a big proportion of the world’s people anyhow.
Everything you say before the but doesn’t really matter. Fuck these people. There literally isn’t a book you could burn that would offend me in this way. Their magic book doesn’t entitle them to throw a hissy fit when people do something they don’t like. Full stop.
I’m all for respecting faiths if those faiths are respectful in return. Everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want; but if your beliefs are outright dangerous, don’t be surprised when you get backlash for it. Sadly Islam has no respect for anyone, not even it’s own followers. There is no place for Islam, Catholicism or any other extreme religion in modern society. Leave that shit in the middle ages.
I will mock any sky-daddyism whenever I feel like it. Oh and your buddy Moe was a pedo criminal who ordered prisoners of war tortured and his personal enemies murdered.
Your irrationality is not immune from criticism just because it is dear to you.
If your world view is based upon a conspiracy theory with little to no backing evidence, you are bound to face mockery.
When you use these theories to suppress the rights of others and act like a barbaric caveman, either conflict arises or you have an ideological dictatorship.
Religion is great at detaching you from reality and your fellow man. Calling it human decency to encourage both of those behaviors is absolutely awful and you should be deeply ashamed.
Was "Nigeria addresses cost of living crisis by raising government worker minimum wage, transitioning from fossil fuels, distributing food and fertiliser." too long, not catchy enough, or maybe too incendiary for Reuters?
The article sounds like a lot of different sensible actions are being taken to help the average Nigerian, actions which should also be applied across the West. Like paying workers more, making sure they have access to reliable food sources and transitioning away from fossil fuel reliance.
It's like Reuters wants to focus on the bowl of grain at an open-air market photo and make the policies sound "primitive" or something. They buried the union action and government negotiations right down the bottom of the article.
Nigeria's main labour unions and the government in June set an eight-week timeline to finalise an agreement to raise the minimum wage for government workers.
At the behest of the union of those workers, yeah.
