Singapore is a really nice place to live.
War on Drugs works in Singapore where drug dealers get swift, harsh punishment.

A system that lets minor inefficiencies endlessly accumulate, because the activation energy to address them is too high, is rotten. As for picking up hundred dollar bills, Congress isn’t solving big problems either.
Your perspective makes sense if you accept as good that massive political effort must be taken to do obviously good things against the wishes of special interest groups. But most people would think that the US Mint…
What an indictment of our system.
I’ve always been fond of the 50 cent piece too. It’s too bad that the ubiquity of the quarter makes it the only contender for a single-coin system.
I imagine it would cost less than all the money collectively spent on minting them and buying and maintaining machinery to handle them. Even better if they got rid of the quarter too. But yeah, I can see why no…
What the US needs is to abolish all coins except the quarter. Due to inflation, a penny in 1913 is worth about 30 cents now. And somehow they made do with no smaller coins than the penny (the half cent having been…
They would if they could. Spain is a weak little country that depends on the US for defense. The US is the most powerful country in history. There is no symmetry.
Wrong, allies spy on each other constantly.
No, we shouldn't. But anyone committing assaults on either side should be prosecuted. Much easier to do these days than back then.
This is false. Labor laws passed in the 1900s in most Western countries give you a right to strike without the risk of getting fired. It doesn't have to be bargained for. There's lots of caveats, but that's the general…
I'm not saying you should have to fire them. But you should be able to.
Views on collective responsibility for riots have changed a lot. These days, it's only the individual rioters who commit specific crimes that are thought of as bearing responsibility. But before the 1960s or so, a…

Violent strike breakers should go to jail too.
Violent strikers should go to jail.

You’re misreading the rule. Such titles are allowed. If the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14…
Ruby and C here.
It’s illegal in Canada, but only for the buyer. Which goes along with modern prohibition being an anti-man feminist thing.
It’s probably most accurate to say it’s an unspoken alliance between the two groups—feminists and traditional moralists. But when the church was actually politically powerful, prostitution was much less likely to be…
