And yet, capitalist societies have stricter environmental regulations and the people living in capitalist societies tend to be more concerned about the environment. Look up the Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea for their environmen

Is this cultural appropriation or would the Europeans have had to make copies of the carpets themselves to count?

Many do, but surprisingly many more don't. Their main complaints are economic. If they would be a bit wealthier, they would be content. They are ok with a one party state, homophobia, corruption, etc. It's just they're very p

This comment would be considered bigoted by some or at least when applied to some other nations. But I agree with you. I came from there about when communism crashed and had high hopes, which have now been destroyed. Russians just don'

Music teachers care about their jobs just as much as administrators. It's just that administrators make the big decisions and they care about their jobs more than the jobs of others.

That's what the ID cards are used for, and have been for decades... Including for voting all over the world.

This being a hacker forum, would such security measures as you believe in and propose be acceptable in any computing application? In finance? Medicine? Anything really?

You don't know how common voter fraud is. When it's easy to do and you can't be caught, as in other people's ballots coming to your mailbox, many will do it. They do it. I know someone who voted on behalf of another in C

It depends who you ask your questions. If it's a poor white guy with family who came here from Albania, maybe he shouldn't care about "past wrongs"?

But it is true. As were his racist views. And many other unsavory facts that are better not explained to an audience looking for demigods. How about you read about those? https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/rich

You may want to inquire about stolen territory by Russia in places like Moldova, Georgia, and Ukraine. They no longer fear. It's just stolen. Poles fear still, Belarus does too, so do people in Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, and Russi

Especially one surrounded by allies, many of which are top 10 world economies. This should have been done in the 1990s as bases were closing in the United States.

This is just so ridiculous that "silly" is the only word to describe a simple requirement to prove that you have the right to vote as a step on the 24th amendment. It can only be demanded by people that want to rig elections.

You do know we have a Senate and a unique system of voting? Did you know that in none of those European countries that have a parliament did the common people vote for their Prime Minister? Does that infuriate you even more?

Have you looked? Does asking for an ID to prove that you are a legal voter too much now? Did you know that everywhere in the world, except the U.S., you must prove that you are who you are before getting the ballot? There are some exception

I've been trying to figure out the "assault on democracy" narrative ever since the 2016 election. It seems to have come out of nowhere, though probably boosted by the Russia Collusion tale. The reality, indeed, is that the wr

The status quo didn't change. Money was in politics before Citizen's United and it is after. The voting rights act remains in force, though some irrelevant points that no longer apply were allowed to no longer have to be enforced

What changed to make it drop? The voting system in the U.S. hasn't changed, the first amendment is still in effect, media is independent (no equivalent of DW or BBC). I'm trying to find out what aspects did change to cause a ranki

Hyundai charges a subscription fee for remote start built into their cars. First three years are free, paid subscription thereafter. You have to use their app to remote start. There's no button on the key fob.

Strangely, the word "union" doesn't appear in the article. Considering that it is the police unions that create the system within which police officers are protected, I believe their power and tactics need to be examined.

Isn't there any room for respect for traditional Japanese culture? They do have a different understanding of things over there and perhaps it's up to them how to change their ways. They have changed completely as a society at leas

They did publish a paper the numbers within which were not reviewed by anyone. I, along with others, have been under the impression that such things are indeed double checked by other scientists reviewing papers. Turns out they are not.
