Australia is a live example of the fact that they're not. The state and federal governments have privatised a crap load of services and all they do is continue to hike our bills while providing less and less service. Electricity, water supply, employment services and more are now an absolute joke here.
There's plenty of not curved monitors these days in fact you pretty much have to go looking for one if you want it.
I fast forward half way and pray she still isn't slobbering on some knob at that point and they've gotten down to businesses already.
Meat for the meat grinder.
Sounds like the Taiwanese police were under some pressure to make a big bust so they pulled out a box of cheap cables they acquired from the local markets and made up some public service maths to look good.
It took some umm training to get to this point though and I think the film industry is just making the same mistakes.
If you had super powers you probably wouldn't have to steal anything or commit crimes to be rich. You'd just make money the same way people like the Kardashians do or worst case sign up to some sporting team and absolutely trounce everybody else then sign endorsements.
If you're that qualified you should look at immigration as an option. Where I live, the base salary is $78k for a bachelor degree qualified teacher and goes up to $140k if you take on head of department roles. If you don't it caps out at a few grand less. We're currently in a teacher shortage too.
Be warned though, this is in Australia so the cost of living does suck a bit. You still are probably not affording buying a house on this.
I think it's shit that it's like this however not being tied down to a job you hate is nice.
I am not sure about the Netherlands but where I am you have superannuation which is completely independent from your job and you control who it's with yourself. When you change jobs you just let your new employer know where to send your contributions to.
We don't rely on super/pensions for benefits before retirement age and have universal health care too.
No you can't
Exactly what's about to happen to employment services in Australia too. They spend more money chasing a hand full of people who don't want to work than just continuing to pay them the pittance they exist on and have people apply to be the CEO of huge corporations who dropped out of high school in order to make their quotas. Government just announced an inquiry with the aim to reinstate control over it.
