Comment WTF? (Score 1) 331

Due to people forced to work from home, most companies do not have to cough up expenses for employees commuting to their workplace: WIN for the company
Home workers needs to pay their self for heating, electricity etc... WIN for the company. (My company shut down the heating of their 23 floor high headquarters, cause most people are forced to work from home)

And than you wanna tax us in stead of my company? This is a win win for companies.

I have nothing against the solidarity principle, but the Deutsche Bank Research is full of shitheads

This is a easy one.I don't know how much decent Biden is, but at least he is more decent than Trump.

Reasoning: Trump exploit differences between people with certified lies. At least Biden gives the impression to unite people. I don't give him the credit to be better, but at least there is the hope he is.

The suspicion also exist that Donald has only interest in his own ego as does not not need advice from experts. He simply doesn't need no advice from anybody else as a self proclaimed stable genius and multi-dimensional chess player. I see simple a bad loser.

Even a Vladimir Putin is more subtle about his intents although he cannot hide it. Kim jung Un, Putin an Trump play in the same league.

So Anonymous Coward what is your reasoning for the opposite?

In the 80s, I enjoyed my first job as a TV repair Technician for a major brand.
There were some TV's capable of receiving multiple standards (NTSC/PAL/SECAM...) and internally, they used one trans-coder chip to achieve trans-code from SECAM to PAL or NTSC to PAL. .

This type of equipment was a meant for a very small market segment of world travelers. Depending on the country, local variations on the above mentioned standards existed.

The real problem does not exist between the touchscreen and the driver seat, but it was allowed to manipulate the touch screen while driving. The touch screen should only by accessible from parking modus.
If you allow this manipulation by design, you'll find always someone not using his brains.

Comment Re:death certificates - properly reported with rea (Score 1) 167

you can take the dead statistics for the same period of 2019 and make a projection what to expect in 2020. The difference between the projection and the real stats of 2020 will most likely give an idea about the death rate caused by Covid 19.
It's not a perfect way, but it should be good enough to get the idea.
