You can have a nice pizza for 8-9€ these days in Paris, a really good crepe for 5-7€, tasty bo buns (vietnamese noodle dish) are usually less than 10€ in the asian neigbourhoods, etc.
No, believe me. If you think that the pizza you get for 8-9€ is decent, take the time, once in your lifetime, to visit Naples. There are a couple of good pizza places in Paris, but prices hover around 15€ per pizza.
1. What makes you think I have never been to Naples? I've actually been there, and many places in Italy, over the years. There are amazing places, and crappy tourist places, just like everywhere in the world.
2. I said "decent", not "outstanding". You can get decent pizze in Paris for less than 10€ in any decent pizzeria (there are some bad ones, just don't come back to them).
I think it's just pointing out that focusing on any one thing and proclaiming it wastes enormous amounts of resources when viewed at large scale can be a bit silly most of the time. I mean, why stop at April Fool's?
As another person mentioned, what do bathroom breaks cost the industry? How much does people working 40 hour weeks rather than 80 hour weeks cost the industry? How much does a 5 day instead of a 7 day work week cost the industry?
> proclaiming it wastes enormous amounts of resources
I never said that. It's interesting however that at least two people assumed I did (the person you mention talking about bathroom breaks also assumed I meant it was wasteful).
You just had a baby, can't focus on work.
Your grandmother died, can't focus on work.
Someone stole your credit card, can't focus on work.
The IRS is chancing you up for no reason, can't focus on work.
