  • Yes-ish. While there are some good results from small scale tests, I’d argue that the effect it’d have on a macro level isn’t fully understood. I’m all for testing it out large scale so we can get some reliable data there as well. And if it turns out that it doesn’t result in inflation or corpos eating up the extra, then I’m all for it.
















  • I was on a business trip, so I had some extra time for a change.

    Rewatched “Heat” (1997). I thought I hadn’t seen it, but I must have a long time ago, as I remembered the ending. Still a great movie, though. Remembering the ending halfway through didn’t ruin the enjoyment. 8/10

    I also saw “Predestination” (2014? The one with Ethan Hawke…) after a coworker recommend it. A good movie, but I’ve seen enough brain fuck movies to predict a lot of the plot twists. Still pretty good, though. 8/10.

    And I finally got around to seeing Top Gun: Maverick. I wasn’t expecting much beyond trying to recapture 80’s cool-guy-story, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised. F14/10.


    1. Basterds
    2. Pulp
    3. Dogs
    4. Jackie
    5. Death Proof
    6. Bill
    7. Hollywood

    Haven’t watched:
    Django
    Hateful

    I love the top 4, the others are kinda meh, except Hollywood, which I found outright boring. I’m sure it was meant for movie buffs and other people more familiar with the real story. People already into Hollywood and feet probably love it.

    Also, I was having hard time choosing between Dogs and Pulp for 2nd. Having said that, they’re both on par with Basterds, it’s just that my WW2 interest makes Basterds appeal just that micron extra.

    And an unpopular opinion: Kill Bill is overrated. Interesting cinematography, but apart from that I find it completely forgettable. The only reason why I cared enough to watch both movies was to figure out the deal with Bill, which I guess was kind of the point. But if someone had told me who he was and what he did after the 1st movie, I probably wouldn’t have bothered with the 2nd.
