    You also have to mention the other side. Public services are terrible, roads are in disrepair, the NHS is deteriorating, policing is nonexistent (unless it’s mean tweets), salaries are low, and the economy is poor.

    It’s definitely a cultural thing, though, because in Asia, where staff make fuck all, they are a million times more friendly and attentive. The West has a serious attitude problem in all areas of hospitality.

    If you can’t be bothered with the windows and mac OS BS, seriously consider checking this out. Run the OS on any machine, new or old. It will make it feel fast af and it’s FREE

    Because it used to be the money you worked for was yours to spend. Then the government realised they can tax people 50% and trick you into thinking they know how to spend your money better than you do

    MacBooks are the only laptops where I can close the lid, open it 3 days later, and everything just works. Same battery life, same apps, zero issues. Linux ad Windows could never

    “I’m happy to pay tax for the NHS and welfare state.” You earn £28k. Your total tax contribution is £4,000. The NHS budget is £232 billion. You’re not funding anything, you’re a net recipient. Stop virtue signaling about services you don’t pay for.
