  • It's an old saying. The Empire had colonies all over the world so at any point in time it was day for at least one colony. Therefore the sun never set on The Empire as a whole.

    The joke is making fun of that old saying, pretending it means there is no night for the British isles and all the sun is causing the temperature of the isles to increase.

    I hope that's enough explanation to remove any humor from the joke.

  • It does seem the power of the judiciary will be challenged quite soon.

    It will probably be with a tweet saying "Make me. You and what army?" and the courts will need to rely on the US military choosing the Constitution over the Commander in Chief.

    May we all have the fortune to live securely in less interesting times. I suppose it is our duty to make that happen.

  • I agree it feels very slow, but identifying the correct action and then building consensus around that action takes time. Once consensus is built it is very stable though. That is supposed to be the biggest benefit of democracy; stability built through coalition.

  • I don't agree with this. Shareholders extracting value from a company is arguably more of an 'inefficency' than treating employees fairly. Well treated employees provide a benefit to the company while shareholders purely remove resources.

    I have no data to back up my claim, just logic, so I could very well be wrong.

    Why don't communist movements focus on creating and nurturing employee owned businesses?

    How did we get so casual about conspiracy theories?

  • I disagree. Minimum wage is minimum wage. If you don't care about the moral implications of the for profit prison system... Paying equal wages for prisoners will force higher wages in the non captive population.

    We like music because our brains crave pattern recognition.

    What do you create?

    No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Are there opposing institutions to things like the Heritage Foundation? Are there liberal policy think-tanks?

    Would you support your country joining an 'open invite' Free Trade Agreement with the only stipulation being the implementation of a Carbon Tax?

    If you could write a modern constitution for your country, what amendments would it have?
