  • Sure, but obviously it's not pertinent to the middle east.

  • Don't be deliberately obtuse. Obviously I meant the European nations which now comprise the core of the EU. You realize the age of colonialism and later on the age of imperialism was a exclusively European phenomenon, yes?

  • what they are getting mixed up is that some tenured positions get paid about 2x that of a new employee, because there are still some old contracts around that are simply much better than newer one in terms of pay raises over time.

    I'm not confusing anything. Even as lately as 10 and 5 years ago, internal wages for EU-staff (I'm talking about EU itself, not nation states) were easily 2x the agency staff wages, when all the benefits are included. And yes, internal staff is by all accounts unfirable except in grossly egregious situations. It's just that permanent positions like this a lot of times go through a what I call a "hazing" period, where the to-be-internal has to go through multiple "short term hiring" cycles, before getting a permanent contract.

  • I've worked a lot in the EU public sector and I generally don't have a problem with paying people a living wage, but is constantly happening within the EU bureaucracy is that the ones that are "internals" don't do enough work (if at all), so they end up outsourcing to local agencies which then pay people the bare minimum they can get away with to do the job the internals won't or can't do. And yes, it's easily 2x if one includes all the benefits EU workers get.

    I wouldn't mind if they just got more money than the agencies, but I do mind that they think they're superior to the agency staff and often treat said staff like second class citizens, if they're not acting like petty tyrants even.

    Finally my corruption comment was independent of my bureaucracy comment, not following from it.

  • criticism of what? The superiority of EU culture? I'm not sure what kind of "meltdown" you've experienced.

  • EU institutions are just as regulatory captured as everywhere else. The EU bureaucracy is horribly inefficient with tons of unfirable "human drones" making 2x for the same role one does in the the private market, where they just do 1/10x of the work. The only reason EU is not quite as corrupt as USA is ironically because all the competing rich fuckers of each nation are competing with each other's lobbying

  • Saying that with a straight face while a outright fascist is coming into power and every us billionaire is stepping in line to kiss their ring while the working class is doing nothing of importance. USians must be the most submissive culture in the world while actually thinking it's the most revolutionary.

  • Lol at the casual racism of claiming "middle east is screwing everything up" as is they haven't been manipulated, exploited and intervened on for the past couple of centuries by EU and USA for their own benefits. What drivel!

  • Reddit is Dead. Lemmy is Dead. Everything is Dead.

  • Lemmy is at the moment a super busy tech/nerd/nd forum. If you have those interests you don't usually starve for content.

    It's when you expect it to be like late stage reddit with millions of users sustaining niches comms that you get disappointed. Lemmy is like reddit in 2008.

    It cannot cater to all interests yet but it is a place that people can validly migrate to as reddit enshittifies further

  • It's pretty straightforward. Just activate the plugin mostly. There isn't anything about audience in the plugin settings iirc so I'm not sure what you're seeing.
