ChatGPT thinks, that in the US social security makes up about 30-40% of the retirement income of a typical American, while the German system makes up about 80-85% of a retired Germ…

Here in Germany they also ignored the demographics, so our social insurance systems (retirement but also health) are heading towards a catastrophe, because there is no capital back…

So you would say these systems are no true scotsmen ?

We have tried systems based on some seemingly absolute moral codex. Some parts of the world are still doing it. Unfortunately it always comes with brutal ways to kill arbitrary gro…

I am not suggesting that airlines should see their operations as non-critical (and let a third party make arbitrary untested updates to their critical systems). But maybe some orga…
