...teaching your kid to be safe. It's that simple. Be with them until they're old enough, and then they're fine on their own. People underestimate how fine kids will be.

The rights need to be defined by the legislature. And the court needs to impartially rule as per law. There is of course, always room for interpretation.

America needed well placed, strategic policies to support domestic manufacturing decades ago. Now numbskulls started seeing that those jobs should be in the states. Republicans capitalized on that to get elected to attempt it in the worst possible and most destructive possible way.

Twelve weeks. That's twelve weeks more than Americans get.

Paid is the important additional criteria in your statement. Fmla keeps your insurance running and guarantees 12 weeks off work unpaid for maternity leave(for people working more than the pittance that is 1250 hours a year) --- something many Americans cannot afford.

Seniors who show they deserve respect should be given it. But plenty do not.

You're being incredibly over dramatic. Plenty of businesses thrive off of mostly middle or lower income customers.

Cities are just better. Rich or no rich, larger amounts of people means more restaurants and things to do.

Genuinely the worst protest idea I've ever seen. Impressive.

No it's fuckin hilarious

... I'm sorry. Do you think that "burn it all down" ends with a vote?

The actual pollution of the fireworks is a much bigger issue than the noise pollution. They create a lot of litter.

You're saying that like the massive variety among them is a monolith

Yeah. The usa has always been relatively evil... But also fairly predictable .

Also worth noting that pretty much every country ever has been evil, with a few notable exceptions ---of which none of the eu are included in

Imo, 4 10s is a great schedule. The talks about 4 day work weeks focus all on salary workers, and leaves how the hourly working stiffs who deserve it just as much. Everyone I know thinks 4 10s are the dream. Since with manufacturing and warehouse work, it needs to get done. And there's barely any downtime to cut out. 4 10s are a great compromise.

I'm not introducing any goal posts. These are things assumable with common sense. "If a metric becomes a goal, it ceases to be a metric" applies in such case. For progress, the only thing that matters is the total amount going down---neither per km area nor per capita have any value in measuring meaningful progress. But they could provide a good snapshot of present impact of each country.

Per capita is a better snapshot because it measures impact of a citizen in the country. Per landmass isn't great because it ignores countries with outsized impacts.

No. Being a better measurement does not indicate to it being a perfect one.

Per capita is a much better metric than per km

Some people suck. But no, that's not the case for many of the people I know. I know many people who aren't transactional at all. I have friends who don't care about value and will help whenever is needed. I know other people who are like what you're talking about. But still, the good ones, that will help for whatever, are genuinely good. They're not doing it as a transaction.

In spite vs despite have different connotations. Despite is more passive. In spite is more directly confrontational.

In my opinion.

Less than 50% of voters voted for fascism so I'm gonna clog all the drains in my area (???)
