This article says there are only 49 places to buy alcohol in Iceland, which does seem like it could make it much easier to control. https://warontherocks.com/2015/09/your-guide-to-drinking-in-...

The rest of that sentence indicates it has to do with smuggling. In other words, given the border situation, there should be less contraband availability. And so presumably less abuse of controlled substances. I'm not sure it really is

This is exactly why so many people resist nationalizing health care. They know it'll be about 30 seconds afterwards when people start trying to tell them how to live under the guise of "we're paying for it." And they are

From your linked article- "...what is expected to be a long, winding process of repealing the Affordable Care Act" So, not being repealed in real time, as you claimed. Not being repealed today, as you claimed. Instead, "the

You can keep restating the same things, but they still aren't accurate. The ACA is not being repealed today. This simply is not true. It's not what is happening. Saying that it is is in fact fearmongering. The ACA will still be in

Neither of your points 1 or 2 are accurate, instead they reflect the political fearmongering I mentioned. People lament that our politics are so divided. Mis-stating the situations we're in and exaggerating for political gain are a roo

His administration has certainly issued press releases about them. This is getting silly. It is 100% in line for all politicians to claim credit for everything they can, and many things they can't.

Personally I think it's a realistic statement. A recognition that a least a low level of corruption is part and parcel of Things Happening. Think about the California High Speed Rail project. It's not going to happen without some

No one said anything about it being simple, just that it can be done when you have the resources and reputation of a company like Apple.

I have faith a company like Apple can replace them with people every bit as talented and competent.

Changing how you say something often won't avoid the downvotes. If it's something a lot of people don't agree with, you'll get downvoted anyway. The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts.

I don't really mind people failing. I do think there's something wrong with someone earning massive amounts of money to fail and then everyone saying, "Oh well, anyone would have failed in that role." Why pay someone hug
