AI takes over office workers: Maybe not exactly what this graph shows. However, it indicates that investments are currently aimed at AI instead of expanding office space.

AI gets facts from Reddit and YouTube: I am not saying that there is no good and reliable information at Reddit and YouTube, but at least you have to convince this graph that you should not blindly trust AI.
No more need for “fact checkers”. Fake News is now the structure of the new gatekeepers of the “information” pic.twitter.com/xjhfsctcwk

AI Capex can be on a peak: Capex per telecom peaked at the height of the Dot-Com bubble. Peak ai -investments by tech giants now?

Taxed until death: “Nothing is certain except death and taxes,” said Benjamin Franklin. Governments can also burden you. Europeans are very good at that.
This is just insane. A company has to spend € 95k to pay someone € 39k as a net salary in France? Who on earth would seriously consider creating new jobs there? pic.twitter.com/p5yr33d7gk

Taxed twice to death: Europe is also occurring in marginal personal income tax. Smart move, because politicians are such great capital allocators (comment: sarcasm).
The marginal rate of income tax above 50% is not a tax, it is theft. Why would someone work harder, create new jobs, if his extra effort was punished with higher taxes?
What is the maximum tax rate that feels reasonable and justified for you? pic.twitter.com/nzn2mr1rqn

Book recommendation
The Moral Animal: Why We Are, as we are: The new science of evolutionary psychology by Robert Wright
“Are men literally born to cheat? Does monogamy actually be the interests of women? These are one of the questions that the moral animal has made in recent years into one of the most provocative science books. Wright reveals the genetic strategies behind everything, from our sexual preferences to our office politics – as well as their implications for our moral codes.”
