12 Monkeys is also a great sci-fi Gilliam movie, not underrated though :) Is there some dislike for Terry Gilliam? Can't think why anyone would want to downvote Brazil here.

Primer (2004) is good time travel movie too. Low budget that was written, directed and acted by the same few people if i remember.

This is a good list, although I don't remember The Cell being that good. Might be wrong :) I would add Cube and Donnie Darko.

Mandatory voting in a proportional representation electoral system feels like the best way to me. You can't force people to vote when their vote can end up worthless like with first past the post. Not sure if you have PR or FPTP in Aus

First past the post means that everyone who didn't vote for the "winner" is ignored. No representation in their democracy. As the other comment said, a party can in theory get 100% of the seats/power with 51% of the vote

I think it just depends how well a company's CFO knows the firm partners from the last round of golf as to whether they will go easy on your audit. All the big 4 have been caught turning a blind eye over the last few years to win big c

The CEO of Tesla seems to think it does. He tried to bail on the Twitter acquisition at the last second. Didn't work out well obviously. Pretty sure he has the exact same attitude to the liabilities involving people getting killed by u

Paper cash is "analog" and local, crypto is digital and global. It's the equivalent of buying DVD copies off someone at a market stall vs a torrent site. Except with crypto you have the government after you directly for tax a

Saudi Arabia has the climate that one could survive without clothes. In many other places you would be very cold. In the coldest places it is even necessary for someone to cover their face to avoid frostbite. Let's not pretend enforced

Data sovereignty is here to stay, no matter the push back from Silicon Valley. A government would be stupid to hand over all their citizens data to the US via US technology companies. There should be two directions of attack on this issue.

We swapped ~300 million EU citizen with similar (often greater) workplace rights and living standards for a soon-to-be trade deal with India that will only happen with the mass migration of far poorer Indians to the UK. Indians which are us

In the UK at least the "world class" universities do nothing for the native population and very little for the country in general. Their primary reason for existence now is for rich foreigners (mainly from China and the middle eas

You are looking for a Crypto utopia where everyone is as "enlightened" as you. When something goes mainstream that gets lost. However I suspect if Crypto hadn't gained the popularity (and paper value) it did it might not be a

The metric system is too "European", and more specifically French for post-Brexit Britain. We need a patriotic system of measurement, not some foreign idea designed to take away our sovereignty.

If not owning an iPhone really makes you the social outcast that some comments here are suggesting maybe people don't even admit to it for a marketing survey. It's like a survey on how may times you have sex in a month.
