The US was a common law country, then created the constitution based on that common law and now it is a constitutional republic. The constitution is the pillar now not "common law".

It's a funny joke, don't get me wrong. But I'll take the 15 men sitting behind a computer operating remotely a digger inside a mine instead of 10 men breaking their backs and probably risking their lives with a shovel.

The world can theoretically meet it, in practice, it is the same situation as the "food" shortage. Solar and food have a distribution problem, not only a generation problem, but since the world decided nationalism, protectionism a

Inflation means some things become economically impossible to produce, that is why the rest of the stuff becomes more expensive. Prices always lag behind because they are the result of all the economic processes that take place, not the cau

It looks that way in the end, with no other alternative but to yield, but at some point there were many options, that is how the town, city, county or state came to be in the first place. The problem is that they gave so many concessions ju

Funny the current iMac has none of those problems. And wasn’t the M1 supposed to be so efficient minimal cooling and power were required?

But you have a “charger” on a device without a battery. Power bricks are the most inelegant solution to a problem ever. Can’t think of a clever design to accommodate the features we want? shove it on a box and put it to the side. Lazy.

External power brick on an iMac? what year is this? An with a proprietary connector too? It looks hideous, has no ports, no memory. Such a letdown. Not one feature is a step up from the current iMac. The M1 is so limiting on a desktop. I gu

Most countries finance themselves with the always convenient "future-taxes" excuse, in other words, debt. It is the reason congress has to keep raising the debt ceiling, so they can keep borrowing money. Last year, the US collecte

Taxes long ago stopped being the main way governments fund themselves. If taxes were about financing the government there would just be one tax called the-cost-of-government-tax and that's it. There would be no need to tax everything
