“Huge row erupts” […] “However, this is no surprise as we knew they had XY chromosomes already” is quite a 180, especially for such a short text. Also, is their body really our collective business?

I am surprised it’s called “America’s celebrated work ethic” - from my (Dutch) perspective, it’s notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!

“Setting up a base in Vietnam” for a US company sounds like slightly painful wording to me…

That makes sense, thanks

I wonder what would happen to the works were the museum to go bankrupt instead - then they would be sold for their “monetary value” as well, right? Then this seems more like protest for protest sake, as it’s a last resort damage control measure that can hardly be avoided from the sound of it.

They did, but they didn’t see as sharp of an energy price increase as far as I know. Our energy bill has increased so much that we had to not only deal with project (and thus payment) delays due to the shortages, but also with projects suddenly not bringing in money but costing us. This had a compounding effect on many small businesses.

It might be overstating some things, but I’ve heard quite a few hardware startups fail the past years due to parts shortage, rising parts costs, energy costs, etc.

On the large industry scale the machine is ticking away just fine, but I’ve experienced first hand how those factors have decimated any reserves small players have over the past few years. And large companies don’t innovate nearly as much as small ones can - competitive advantages for the future are definitely lost here. While that may not be a problem today, that does mean Germany will be behind on innovation in 5 - 10 years.

Does anyone have any context about the “assassination wanted” banner in the listing image? I find it quite shocking, and the article didn’t make any mention of it that I saw.
