At least in the case of the USA, then, there's still no universal democracy. Corporations have far more powerful and influence, in basically every election you can only vote for a neoliberal, and plenty of people get disenfranchised.

I had a couple friends tell me this is bad because Trump will use it as an excuse to send troops in to arrest liberals, which I just heard his press secretary on tv talking about leftism as a terrorist ideology or some such so I think it&#x

Tokyo has better public transit than the United States, certainly. However it's public transit options and general design aren't that great by modern standards. First, they have basically no bicycle infrastructure, and bikes are s

Right, so, again, it sounds like your public transit is underfunded or something. Where I live I can depend on there being another train within 8 minutes no matter where I'm going, or a bus, or I can just hop on a ubike and I can be co

I am either too stupid or too lazy to remember everything. Or my version of ADHD specifically restricts my ability to remember things, or to have sufficient energy to engage daily with the process needed to memorize information (e.g. build

This isn't my experience, but I understand some countries have overloaded public transit systems. When I've been in those countries, it's been simple enough to just let an overloaded train pass and grab the next one.

Do you believe it's fair to the Korean workers that they are arrested and detained for what they thought was just doing their jobs, whereas their bosses who brought them in with the explicit purpose of skirting visa rules will walk sco

For some more anecdata, I just had another potential new client call in to my co-op wanting to spec out an MVP that they can farm around to investors to get seed funding. He said him and his partners are keeping their day jobs for now. Thes

Well that's the gist of the conversation I had with the guy. He often pushed the point, "if what Israeli is doing is so bad, why don't any countries come to take away all the Palestinian refugees?" I'm happy to hear

Yes I moved to Taiwan, from the USA. I was exposed to the political activism of Taiwan when I happened to be there during the sunflower protests in ten years ago, and spend 7 years working to return. My beliefs were confirmed day by day as
