That's what they did in my country when a bunch of the big banks almost keeled over in 2008/2009. They were temporarily (partly) owned by the state and eventually bought back their rights to operate as a separate business when things were going better again.

I got very confused by that title for a sec, I thought it said that the person who got killed made the claim.

Alright I'll bite, give me some examples of good shows with multiple layers of storytelling, interesting characters and engaging story telling that were made in the last five years. And as I've said in another comment, I know there's still some good ones out there (The Boys, Gen V, Blue eye samurai, Better call Saul, After life), my point is that it feels like there's less of these while the total amount of shows has only increased over time.

I love House, most jokes in that show are very funny and a bit scathing but at least they make fun of everyone and everything. Much better than nowadays, where most comedy is very plain and safe.

You forgot the 100 browser tabs as well. They have it get so bad that it no longer says a number, just a smiley.

I agree, I watched one about the Netherlands a while back and it was pretty trash. They're fun videos for entertainment purposes but definitely not correct.

I quite liked the idea of Movember when I was younger, it seemed like a neat idea to grow a mustache over the month with some of your homies.

Nowadays I have a beard thanks to the lockdowns and the reduced shame of it looking weird at the start so no need for Movember anymore.

I know right? Executives just never seem to get that you actually need to provide value to have people want to sign up for it. Saying that though, there's a lot of dumb consumers out there that just pay for it if needed.

Judging by the average tech saviness of a government worker (baby boomer that's against any form of technology) this is probably a good thing. They'd throw in sensitive information in a heartbeat.

I agree but I do think that for the majority of people it would be easier to go from a fuel car to an electric car then it would be to having no car at all. Even if they don't use it daily it still offers them a feeling of freedom and flexibility. I know that you can also achieve that feeling using public transport / walking and cycling everywhere (Dutchie here) but it's quite the transition for people if you didn't grow up in an environment like that.

There's already been 2 terrorist attacks in Europe and based on the evacuations of public spaces in France it seems like it's only the start. I'm not sure if it's all because of the war (the attack in Brussels seems to be more related to ISIS according to the news) but it sure seems like it's gotten a lot more frequent since it really kicked off last week.

Except most governments. They also fund humanitarian aid for the Palestinians on the down-low but publically they're supporting Israel. Just look at the US.
