Consumption taxes are typically seen as a bad solution because they are regressive. If coupled with increased progressive taxation elsewhere this might be okay, but otherwise it's a big problem. The truth is there isn't a '

There are European countries which don't require ID (for example the UK). The thing you're perhaps missing is that if you don't have a compulsory national identity card of some kind, then many people will not have an easily a

This. Before I switched to 4 days a week (to do non-work stuff) I had 31 days holiday not including public holidays. I really value this extra time. The lack of holidays was one reason (albeit not the only one) I decided not to work in San

I agree that technology in terms of energy supply will be important, but is terraforming really a sensible option? Given how little we understand the climate, trying to manipulate it in this way feels like a very risky manoevre. And there a
