Printing 3 (P3) 3. Tag

Immer noch hier, am dritten Tag, überwache ich den Betrieb einer Maschine, die lange außer Betrieb war. Alhamdulillah, dieses Mal läuft sie so, wie sie sollte. Meine Dankbarkeit ist grenzenlos.

Dank der Hilfe von Abang Ridwan und Bhai Al Amin fühlt sich die Nacht nicht so schwer an. Ihre Anwesenheit bringt Ruhe inmitten aller Herausforderungen.

Ya Allah, segne meinen Lebensunterhalt, erfülle all meine Bedürfnisse und schenke mir gute Gesundheit. Aamiin Ya Rabb.

The United States and the Late Empire Syndrome: Towards Political Decay?

Image
Since its independence in 1776, the United States (US) has cultivated a political culture deeply rooted in the principle of "anti-monarchy." The establishment of institutions such as Congress and the Supreme Court was designed to ensure a system of checks and balances that would prevent the rise of authoritarian leadership. The historical context is clear—the US was founded through a struggle against British monarchical rule, with monarchy often associated with tyranny and oppression. The first US President, George Washington, rejected the suggestion of becoming a lifelong leader, despite his close associate, Alexander Hamilton, proposing a model resembling a king without a crown. By setting a precedent of serving only two terms, Washington reinforced a tradition that was respected for more than a century. However, Franklin D. Roosevelt broke this norm by serving four terms before Congress ultimately passed the 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution, limiting the presidency to...

IS THERE STILL HOPE FOR TUPPERWARE?

Image
Recently, Tupperware filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Many are wondering if this marks the end for a brand that has long been synonymous with high-quality food storage containers. The answer: not necessarily. Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy doesn’t mean a company is shutting down. Instead, it allows the company to restructure its operations and business model, giving it a chance to recover and compete again in the market. To better understand, let’s look at three major companies that successfully emerged from this crisis. 1. General Motors (GM) In 2009, GM was on the verge of collapse. However, after a significant restructuring, they bounced back by introducing new car models, including the Chevy Volt, which transformed the electric vehicle landscape. Today, GM has returned as one of the largest car manufacturers in the world, with an annual revenue of $48 billion. 2. Marvel Entertainment Marvel nearly went bankrupt in 1996, but they soon began releasing films like X-Men and Spider-Ma...

The Fate of Gig Workers: Between Flexibility and Uncertainty

Image
Exploited by Platforms? No paid leave system (leave means not working but still receiving a salary). No work, no income. When drivers take a break or do not work, the algorithm penalizes them by reducing their orders. This is deeply concerning. Previously, gig drivers enjoyed a period of prosperity, but now they can only reminisce about it. Bonuses have shrunk and become harder to attain, while platform fees have increased, leaving many drivers struggling to make ends meet. Some of the financial burdens faced by gig drivers include: Daily electric motorcycle rental fee of IDR 50,000. A 20% platform fee deduction. A system that assigns two food delivery orders but pays only for one. No access to social security (BPJS Ketenagakerjaan). Orders determined entirely by algorithms. Gig drivers are now suffocating under the pressure of the electric vehicle transition. Ride-hailing platforms prioritize profit maximization without considering the well-being of existing drivers. "What we nee...
