Wise vs Revolut - This is what I've found out
You are quite possibly right. It could just be greed without having really thought it through first, or what the potential downside might be. But that's a typical aspect of greed. People usually only think about how much they are going to financially benefit from something and often can't foresee the harm they might be doing to themselves at the same time. Anyway, let's hope they roll it back at some point as you said. Perhaps the chance of that is about 50-50. -

Photos of destruction as a result of the incompetent world leader & his party
LOL. Why didn't you link to the source, Willy? Was it because you didn't want anyone to know that it came from one of the main players responsible for this massive tragedy? Of course Newsom is going to make himself shine. Hat tip to nauseus. Even if Newsom's supposed accomplishments are true the bottom line is that the estimates from a few days ago were $150 billion in destruction. And counting. So, for all of these so called accomplishments the end result is massive failure of a historic nature. But what you don't address are the specifics of how the failed efforts to combat the fires, not to mention the policies that allowed for the tinderbox conditions to be optimized - yes, optimized - were due to California "leadership" policies. For instance, you could start by answering the question of where the hell the fire trucks were? Rick Caruso, who ran against LA Mayor Karen Bass, saved his shopping mall with privately contracted fire fighters. The rest of the area burnt to the ground. Pacific Palisades, btw, voted 70% for Karen Bass. People always get the government they deserve, don't they? Or, you could address the policies that led to the almost year long closure of the Santa Ynez Reservoir due to a several feet long tear in the cover. Especially during the period of the Santa Anas when the risks of fires are at their peak and all water systems must be operable during the fire season. Or why it was closed last February, bids for repairing the cover didn't begin until April, and it took until November before a contract was awarded. Are those dumb azz ideas that contributed to the disaster? Should those folks be held accountable for their mismanagement? Or is there no accountability for failure in the liberal progressive Democratic world? Hell, failure more often gets you promoted. State to probe why Pacific Palisades reservoir was offline, empty when firestorm exploded Emptying of the reservoir began in February after a tear in the floating cover measuring several feet allowed debris, bird droppings and other objects to enter the water supply. DWP drained the site to avoid contamination and comply with water regulations. DWP sought bids for the repair in April, at a cost of up to $89,000. In November, the utility signed off on a contract with a Lakeside firm for about $130,000, records show. The status of the repairs is unclear. The DWP’s employee union leader condemned the months-long wait to restore the reservoir. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-01-10/as-flames-raged-in-palisades-a-key-reservoir-nearby-was-offline The above are just a start, Willy. -

Funeral Drama as 300kg Man’s Cremation Poses Challenges
Picture from funeral. A different problem occurred on January 12, at Wat Pradu Lai crematorium in Klong Mae Lai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kamphaeng Phet Province, at the funeral of Mr. Wiwat, a 36-year-old man weighing 300kg. Due to his unusually large size, both in weight and build, the cremation process presented numerous difficulties, requiring the assistance of many people. Mr. Wiwat passed away on January 10, from multiple complications, including kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, and high blood sugar. He had been admitted to Kamphaeng Phet Hospital on January 9 with severe breathing difficulties after being transported by a local rescue team. The body, wrapped in a white shroud as it could not fit into a traditional coffin, was carried by several villagers and crematorium workers. Following traditional rituals, the body was paraded around the crematorium before attempts were made to place it inside the furnace. Despite numerous efforts using iron bars and wooden poles, the task remained unsuccessful even after more than an hour of pushing, as the body would not pass through the opening. The turning point came when Mr. Somnuk, the deceased’s 59-year-old father, spoke emotionally to his son: “Golf, please go in. Your father and everyone else are tired.” Soon after, the body began to inch into the furnace, finally fitting entirely. The ceremony continued amid astonishment and murmurs from attendees, many of whom remarked they had never witnessed such a challenging cremation before. Mr. Somnuk expressed his gratitude to community leaders and villagers for their assistance, recounting the hardships faced in both caring for his son during his illness and conducting the funeral. He explained that even transporting his son to the hospital required a specialised vehicle due to his size. -- 2025-01-14 -
