(We're talking US only, right?) Isn't the inflation already at 3.5%? The goal is usually around 2%. If the government wants they can get it to 2% by taxing extra corporate profits but even if they don't do it and it will stay at 3% I don't know if it's an 'era of inflation'. It could still be back to ~2% in a year or two if there's no new war in the middle east. Now, looking at what's happening in the middle east my bet is that there will be another war, the inflation will go up again (~10%?) and we'll be stuck in this cycle until global economy splits and isn't affected so much by local conflicts. You can already see this happening post war in Ukraine but it will take a decade or two. So I would say 1-2 years if manage to avoid another war, 10-20 if the current trend continues.
In Spain you just go to an office, show your ID and they give you a personal certificate you import into your browser. You can use the same cert on multiple computers and have multiple certs in the same browser. When you visit government pages it asks you which cert you want to use and voilà, you're authenticated. You can also use the same cert to sign files and it's a legally valid signature. It uses common standards and works on Linux.
- Invent a new name for an undesirable condition
- People start using this name as an insult
- Get offended that an insult is used to refer to people with said condition

Isn't their main product weapons?
What? The moment you realize something happened it's past already. Present is a lie.
While this is great, someone who doesnt mind paying a 100k for a car wont mind the extra fees.
Not just that, it removes the.. let's call it 'shame factor'. Some people that would feel bad about driving big, polluting cars in the city now will feel perfectly justified: they are paying extra for the privilege. This will not reduce the number of cars and likely will increase it. It's simply a bad policy. As you said, number of parking spots for big cars should be reduced each year putting greater and greater pressure on the owners to get rid of them.
It absolutely is true. I have a PHD in early XXI century north American showering practices and I know for a fact that 65% of showers in the North East and 66% of showers in the rest of the US look like this, thus, making it a typical American shower. I will admit that there is a debate within my field of research as to how public and hotel showers should be counted but most experts agree with my position that what should be taken into consideration are the shower units, not the number of uses they get per year.
I mean, yes, you're right but nothing about the company changed. So people betting that the stock will go up are basically betting that people will buy it for the dividends.
Come on, it's a prank.
As in Tim Apple pranked them out of 3.5k.
Of course new tech is used in industry but consumer products are a different story. And it's complex. People like spending money on stuff, it makes them feel better, so when the world gets depressing they buy things. Also, a side effect of not being able to afford a home is that people have more disposable income to spend on toys. Why save money if you will never save enough? So yes, people buy new products but do they really buy them because they are exited about new tech? I doubt it. You can easily run a 10 year old laptop and (if you're lucky and it's not broken) 5 year old phone today and you wouldn't be missing anything. No one really asked for AI, 5G and AR.
