No it's not. The site is amended to reflect the fact she got a slap on the wrist. All the dates are on there, including the one reversing the original verdict.
It's kinda obvious that some people are uncomfortable with the terminology.
How difficult is it for pliable minds to simply adopt another set of words to describe, precisely, the same thing?
What motivation exceeds being polite?
Being correct? Because screw being polite if it means it muddies the waters. Also, why do "we" need to be pliable? Why can't the other side of this argument get over themselves and accept that words can have different meaning depending on context?
Out of interest, how do you view things like roads, police, the fire department, etc? They also have fixed salaries (at least for a subset of them). And as soon as you need a fire put out you're also demanding services from another group of persons.
I really don't get the whole anti-socialism vibe even though you already do some very socialist things. Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding you
Still not dealers, but suppliers. Also, I agree with your point on principal, but the burden of proof is with the person making the claim. Sign of the times I guess that everyone's opinion is just as good as proof and the burden of it has shifted to the accused.
Although you do have a point, the handling of the flooding of new Orleans and the hurricane disaster in Puerto Rico don't exactly instill stellar confidence in the practical application of this theory.
All good and well. And you do get a point for it being semi-direct at some levels. However: the claim was that no system existed where a hundred thousand people have direct democratic influence. I point to a counter example of it working right now. Who cares how many people Switzerland has? That's movig the goal post
You do come of a bit obtuse, but assuming you really don't understand : all markets are regulated even in the USA. Things like health and safety regulations stop things like lead getting in our drinkwater.
It's not that hard, the explanation was already given: a country with relatively high taxes that are used to provide (for free or a small fee) services that benefit the population at large. Mainly safety, education and healthcare. You get to keep the money you make in transactions, just not all of it. Everyone is OK with this because they value an equal society where no one is "left behind" more than a society where its acceptable if some people don't make it and others make it many lifetimes over
They still have them here. And yes I agree, they're much easier to handle when going by car. I do prefer them when I forgot my shopping bags, especially since I recycle them with the other waste paper I have
I don't quite see the no true Scottsman fallacy I made but it doesn't really matter. Just replying to say i agree with your reply, and have in fact made the point more eloquent than I was able to make. So thank you
And you yourself fall for the faux agile: that you value one thing over the other doesn't mean the other thing isn't important anymore. But if you have to choose you choose interaction over processes and tools. In practice this means you stick with a process, unless it means it stands in the way of progress and / or interaction between people. Then you dump it. A process isn't inherently evil, see also: the scrum process
Half a mile is your casual bike distance? And 3 to 5 a hard trek? Thats what I used for walking as a kid. Biking was something to be done for hours. Talk about a culture difference!:-)
Norway is completely in love with electric cars,so they seem to think it works at least as good as an ICE. And the ICE car I used to drive only started heating up after a good bit of driving. Meanwhile the electric heating part is almost instant on in my current hybrid car.
Well, yea I have. I pay 57 euro for 100mbit glasfiber plus telephone plus cable. Which is reasonably standard over here. In a very heavy(by comparison) regulated market. I also have the option of, I believe, about 5 different providers. I'm not keeping track because it seems every 6 months another one pops up. This is because the infrastructure is by law open to all regardless of the operator (who mind you makes a very tidy profit from it). So I was wondering how it affected you negatively. Because over here it seems to get cheaper and cheaper
I think they might be more efficient though, running an engine at a fixed rpm(in diesel electric) is easier to optimise then a variable rpm engine (with direct diesel drive)
But less extremes at either end of the financial scale, more free time, better health care. At least for the majority of democratic socialist (lite) countries . It's probably a cultural thing but as much as people in the States are against socialism in any form, most of the democratic socialist countries would hate to loose the socialist part. I guess it depends on what you find important, Americans are very individualistic whereas, for instance, Europeans have more of a "for the good of all" mindset. Could be the history of wars in Europe.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

So, that's why the northern white rhino has been hunted to near extinction? As a recent example....

Direct democracy doesn't scale? Someone better tell Switzerland!
