  • What are you talking about? It’s known China pours tons of subsidies into their organisations that go so far as these organisations selling their products cheaper than what they cost to produce. They flood target markets with the clear intention of destroying local industries so they can take over the entire market for themselves.

    Also, free market? A company who wants to operate in china will have most times to do some sort of technology transfer and give part of the control to the Chinese government. Add child labour on top of that and the horrible working conditions Chinese workers endure and you will start to having a picture of how absurd it is to have “free market” with China.

    Free market is a good thing when you operate in the same leveled field.

    Victimisation?! They EU has done nothing about China’s BS for way too long and it’s now finally taking action. That’s a good thing if you ask me.





  • Oh, I have something to say about this.

    About 7 or 8 years ago I bought my house. I had friends of mine showing me articles that basically had the same “renting is better than buying” message bullshit.

    You don’t really need much brain power to understand that is absurd. Paying loads amounts of money for something that will never be yours is obviously stupid in the long term.

    The thing that made me very upset at the time is that my friends drunk the cool aid of these very same article and didn’t buy a property when they had the chance… Now, 8 years after, they are all struggling to buy properties except now is a lot more expensive.

    The house you live in should be YOURS and no-one else.



  • This… OMG!

    All started with a docker run -v ... on sub folder on my home directory. The command changed the ownership of some files to root…

    In order to get my permissions back I sudo and tried to run chown -R andrefsp:andrefsp ./* on the folder.

    Thing is… My stupid ass didn’t actually typed ./* but /* instead followed by an angry Enter… It was so fast… So quick… The whole thing was fucked beyond recognition…





  • Bem, vou aqui um pouco contra a corrente mas aqui vai.

    Na questão dos referendos, eu não sei se seria necessariamente a favor dependendo da quantidade e frequência.

    No meu caso, apesar e ter certas opiniões sobre uma coisa ou outra a verdade é que eu simplesmente não estou qualificado a tomar decisões sobre algo que seja complexo num campo que não domino.

    Vivemos em democracia representativa que basicamente significa que confio o meu voto a alguém mais qualificado do que eu a tomar as decisões de maior complexidade.

    O que quero mesmo é ter tempo para dedicar às coisas que sei fazer e me fazem feliz e de forma alguma estou interessado em viver num sistema que faz de mim político á força e gaste grande parte do meu tempo.

    Eu sei que isso de “a voz do povo” soa muito bem, mas não nos podemos esquecer que ser deputado é literalmente uma vida e o trabalho de alguém que está infinitamente mais informado e preparado a lidar com assuntos de estado do que o normal cidadão.
