how to develop a third world nation like colombia, south africa or thailand?
do nothing
>>1091529
when are people going to realise that the majority of these countries will never truly develop? by the time they theoretically would we will either be compelled to kill them all since our population is becoming more and more unsustainable or they will virtually be slaves to us (to a higher degree than they are now)
truth sucks right
nooo
love capitalism

>south africa
You could start with bringing back Apartheid.
Are most mysterious plane disappearances caused by beta robots who just wanted to end their lives because they hated their jobs? How does the airline industry deal with this to ensure safe and secure flights?
>>1093734
I dont think its an Airline thing its more of the FAA and Customs procedure.
This is from an AA Employee doing Fleet Service Clerk(aka Bag/frieght handler).
Before I joined took 4 months to be cleared by Customs and had to do a extensive 10 years background check.

What's /biz/ opinion on Zero Hedge?
Hit or miss, but worth following.
Like Gerald Celente or Max Keiser.
Obviously have a very bearish bias, but can provide interesting information. The other side of the coin to the bullish msm. The comments are full /pol/-tier autism though.
>>1093086
second.
Its so easy to be pessimistic, so I wouldn't read too much into it.
So hey /biz/ I'm 20 and just made my first retarded expensive adult fuck up and got talked into going to the ER by a doctor at urgent care while thinking ER visits were exempt from my $1500 deductible. ER visits are $100/copay & 20%/coinsurance
I'm a student and only make ~$415 a month with $300 of that going towards other bills.
What can I do to negotiate how much I owe down and what other general things should I know?
At least I know now to never go to the ER unless I'm literally dying.
>>1092487
What the fuck? Why are you paying to go to hospital. What shithole country do you live in?
>>1092487
>Paying for doing an ER
>Paying for hospital care
>PAYING
Get rekt americuck
Most hospitals have their own financial aid. I'm unemployed college student with no health insurance and get free care. Only thing I have to pay for is medicine. There's also free clinics and dentists all over the place. At least it's that way here in Virginia.
Hey I felt like talking about French Tech here since I think you may be interested in what happens in a developed -yet European- country as regards start-up.
I am myself a young French entrepreneur located in Paris and I think it is the most interesting experience I've had in my life.
Nevertheless I also think it is necessary to explain a bit how it works there so as to make it possible for a more viable place for everyone.
Of course I am aware that most entrepreneurs in the world do not even have the luck to get those infrastructures, but still hey, I'm...

Come on, you know this is going to plummet and not recover, on to the next pump n dump.
I hope everyone sees it like you so I can buy more at a lower price. Drop back down to $3 so I can snatch it up kids!
7 days from now, it will trade at 8 dollars :^)
>>1091637
Yeah with you on this.
So I recently bought a fair amount of ETH, and then this happens?
Was it only rising due to the hype?
>>1093580
It was a pump n' dump. Cryptos don't rise for no reason, and nothing at all notable happened and no significant hype was generated in those days.
keep these stupid questions in the already made ETH threads.
>>52958375
you're missing the key point
If everyone on here is saying to buy then don't
When everyone is saying to sell, now's the time to buy
I made the same mistake when pandacoin was still a thing
>>1093580
You're looking at a chart from a week ago. It nearly doubled since then.
Do you have a daily schedule that you make in advance or do you just do what you feel like?
Routine is critical
Nobody except the mentally obsessed make a legitimate schedule for daily activities, but we as humans do things habitually anyways, so even if you think you're doing things at random or "just because", if you pay attention you'll notice you have a routine you developed just by doing it over and over (brushing your teeth before taking out contacts, etc)
I usually sleep whenever I don't feel like doing something
could use that time to do something else
wish I knew where to get w33d
I'm moving out from my parents this year, probably at the end of summer.
Is there a /biz/ way to get an apartment?
I was thinking maybe try to find someone that needs some light bookkeeping done in exchange for cheaper rent.
Is there a book on this subject?
>>1093337
Roommates brah.
Ideally get a gf and split the rent with her.
Also tell all your possible landlords you don't have pets, don't smoke/drink/do drugs. That's a really big plus for most of them.
>>1093337
Pay your parents the going rent for a studio apartment in your area.
You get the experience of overpaying for one room AND you don't have to pay utilities.
>>1093337
The trick is living in an area with a low cost of living.
That being said, you should be more concerned with finding a good landlord which are few and far between.
Is there an app like robin hood where I can pick some train bonds or some shit and make some money and fund some trains straight from my phone with cute little train graphics and shit?
All I want to do is loan some money to the government and fund some trains man. It's all I've ever wanted in life.
All trains in the UK are run by private companies that are listed on FTSE 250 and FTSE 100:
Stagecoach LON:SGC
FirstGroup LON:FGP
National Express LON:NEX
GoAhead Group LON:GOG
You're welcome.
So glad I sold my Stagecoach shares in 2014

ASX also has some ETFs and other products that act like this, allow you to by into civil construction and development.
And if Australia has it, other places gotta have. The only thing unique to us is how we get to ride in kangaroos to work and all have pet dingos.
ETHEREUM STOCKS PLUMMETING!
HOLY SHIT THEY'RE FALLING LIKE A ROCK!
GET OUT! GET OUT!
EVERYBODY SELL!
try harder
>>1090492
Suits me. I bought 10,000 ETH at the all time high. I'm pretty satisfied with the turn of events so far.
>>1090492
If you spent less time on paint and more time buying Ether maybe we wouldn't be in this sorry situation.
Hey /b/ i have an escort company up and running the trouble is finding women to join my company, does /biz/ have any ideas? Thanks!

>An idea dreamed up out of thin air appears to be earning one businessman some serious money. British entrepreneur Leo De Watts, 27, has made thousands of dollars selling bottles of British country air to Chinese buyers, but the price alone -- £80 ($115) per bottle -- could knock the wind out of many customers.De Watts says the 580 ml (about 20 oz) glass jars have been flying out the door, many headed for pollution-plagued Chinese...

Cant they just buy oxygen tanks for cheaper?

guy in canada did it do, labelled regular air, and premium rocky mountain air. You know those chinks like status symbols, they spray that shit in their living room like febreeze.
Yeah sure the guy is making a good buck.

Atmospheric air is mostly nitrogen.
Hey there, I'm from EU.
Oddly enough, more than 90% of what I earn is in USD. I'm not a spender, I have quite a pile of cash accumulated during last years.
For my future plans that money are essential.
I need your advice about what to do with USD at this moment. It seems that USD is going down against euro, but is it a temporary downfall or a slow tendency?
I know it's hard to make any accurate predictions, but given the situation, what would you advice?
I'm not spending these money in a year for sure anyway. So, convert to EUR while it's...

>>1092513
yes, take all your USD and buy Euro!
if you have a high tolerance for risk, you should actually be buying the Russian Ruble!
>>1092518
I'm quite retarded at these things and I'm not trying to be pretentious here. From my perspective, EUR and USD were proven to be quite stable.
Question is, am I losing money long-term if I'm not converting it now. After all, USD wasn't so strong in years.
>>1092513
No. Don't sell USD you idiot.
What's the best way to save money (beyond money that has to remain utterly liquid and accessible) now?
Because, obviously, savings accounts and retirement accounts may be safe but they're guaranteed loss of money.
>>1092029
index funds best store of value
>>1092032
I see.
Thank you for replying.
>>1092029
Strictly talking about savings, I would suggest two things:
1- Government bonds, or treasury bills, or whatever is called in your country, are (relative risk free) instruments, with interest equal to inflation, depending on which country you're living on. It won't made you rich, but your money will be safe and retain next to all its initial value, unless you try to sell it before the agreement date.
2- Silver and gold are solid ways to retain your value, if you know when to buy and sell....
