They come to your house with a prison sentence and five strong, unarmed men and walk you away politely? What would you do against the state?

Usually not. They might have them, especially in trigger-happy locales, but they don't use them. You're not usually dragged behind bars at the gunpoint. You're going behind bars voluntarily because the alternative is being dr

Governments don't need guns to stay in power. It's sufficient for them to have a lawyer and some cops to put you behind bars if they wish. Resisting will just make you go behing those bars for much longer.

It's way more complicated than that and also not the only event which happened there. I can see that the West have no reservations about them participating in trashing the country, though.

Isn't that the description of that the world did to Yugoslavia since the last decade of the last century? It is purely tragic, I've been to Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia to confirm. Life imitates art.

I wonder why it does not happen naturally if they outcompete normal bacteria, though. Bacteria has great speed of evolution.

Realistically, any small amount of wealth that is available to a citizen will not grow significantly relative to any other comparable amount, since there is no room for it to grow. So don't worry about this devouring business. But othe

Wow, that does indeed puts those expensive $300k, 100m² 3-bed apartments in central St. Petersburg into perspective.

Normally, a studio apartment is not an endgame but a stepping stone: once you have it and paid out mortgage, you can sell it and buy a 2-3 bedroom unit. Are these actually not available?

The obvious upside is that it does have "affordable" and "housing" in a single sentence, especially if we are not talking about Moscow (but even then your chances of owning your own home now exist).

Why not raise prices until you hit the supply demand cross? Yes you will visit one event out of three (just as today), but the dignity will remain with you.

How is that principially different from your granny worrying about breaking hips? You can play catch with your brother who is 15 years older and your sister who is 30 years older will haul you around. Grannies raise children just fine, and

Late XX century has shown that people don't want to live "out there" in the wide fields or lush grasslands. Instead they would line up for an overpriced apartment in London or a condo in Silicon Valley. A nice coast with view

A family of two 60-year old middle class, stable income citizens owning a home have way more resources to have a baby than a 25 yo upstart young women with no home or spouse. They may hire a part time assistant for the first two years and i

Just make human fertility longer. It's painfully short. Modern women are only really fertile for 25% of their life, and significant part of that period is spent on trying to become financially stable. If women would be fertile up to 60

The surprising is that this side turned to be manageable. People around them ended up not wanting to actively destroy themselves and their environment. That was the big surprise of 00's and it coincided with aftermatch of when the lead

Yup, because we are dying to have more of these huge latifundia bathing the world in pesticides and being so large they can buy politicians by a dozen. Are you writing from 1970?
