Yikes. As an American, I would have thought Norway would have a much more lenient form of debt relief based on everything I hear about Scandinavia from our local press. But what you're describing seems incredibly harsh. I wonder if thi

I mean Iran threatens every month or so to literally bomb Israel off the map. Some countries are okay with that kind of rhetoric. In general, the US is not.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. Easter Island is yet another example of my general premise. The people who colonized it originally -- the rapa nui -- are still around, even if their current culture is very different from the

Rome didn't collapse, it just diversified into several other smaller states. The Aztec empire wasn't overthrown by the Spanish, but just fractured. The empire of Genghis Khan didn't collapse, it just got successfully split un

It's not though. That is to say... people really ought to check their blood results and act appropriately. The truth is that in northern latitudes, anyone with dark skin is simply unable to meet their vitamin D intake from sun exposure

The United States will enter a new foreign conflict with biden as president. Edit: thanks for the downvoted guys... You're right, it'll likely be kamala as president by the time we're at war again

Sure there are but none had ever gotten to the point of actually being enacted other than prop 13. in a working state, legislators would have self discipline and not require direct propositions to be kept in line.

Yes Salt Lake City has done it to much more success than SF. Of course, Utah and SLCers in general tend to also be more charitable than SFers, so it's hard to say what would happen in SF if they were to do this, given that the populati

Well when elected officials misspend tax money, it's only an inevitability that propositions like prop 13 pass. People on here talk about prop 13 without having actually lived in CA before Prop 13. Before prop 13, there was still lots

The US has 100 million doses of Pfizer and 50 million of Moderna, enough to cover a bit under half the country. Then, it has 500 million of the Oxford vaccine. Altogether, this is more than enough to cover the country. And then it has the o

Oh just like private companies who don't pay their employees a living wage can't take away freedom, because their employees are free to just work somewhere else, like Uber drivers right? Oh yeah, forgot about that.

So let me get this straight. Government is restricted from preventing the free exchange of ideas, but private industry is not. However, government is free to mandate us to stay in our homes and not see anybody, thus leaving us with privatel

Well sure, Reinhoehl shot at the Marshals first (according to some witnesses at least) and fled arrest. That is what was reported immediately after the shooting. That's not a summary execution, that's serving a warrant for arrest.

Can you name a way in which Trump has exercised any power which could be characterized as 'proudly authoritarian'? The man has honestly done very little in office. He says outrageous things of course, but he has not praised '
