Correct. We're not teaching people. Education is orthogonal to the dissemination of information. Shakespeare doesn't teach you how to read his works, he expects you to become educated before the attempt. Don't try to tell Shakespeare to write like Dr. Seuss just because you find One Fish, Two Fish... more accessible than Hamlet. Learn to read. Then your opinion on the topic might begin to matter. Before then, you are an illiterate not worth taking the time for.
I imagine they are about as fair as a typical United States judge. There are probably bad apples, but the big concern is without juries-of-peers, the law is intrinsically skewed towards the powerful class, because only the powerful judge the law.
While I agree beheading isn't necessarily more barbaric than hanging when done right, any execution can be botched, and a botched beheading is way worse than a botched hanging. We (USA) almost never use firing squad outside the military (it's available by choice in some states, but no state forces execution by firing squad). One reason is that it relies on humans doing human things, like making mistakes. The electric chair, lethal injection, and the gas chamber (which we also don't use much anymore) all take the human element out so that executions and their "humane"-ness can be objectively managed.
The problem is people don't know which is bigger, 7-in-10 or 13-in-25, so by using those ratios, you're guaranteeing those with numeric illiteracy have no chance of understanding the numbers. Everyone knows 52% is less than 70%, and has a good idea how big the difference is.
If you can't figure out 10% is 1-in-10, you have no hope of wading through the standard level of obfuscation added to any publication when discussing statistics.
Maybe you should be more pedantic so you'd understand what the word "might" means.
And try to acquire some critical thinking skills while you're at it to realize I was pointing out a decade of longevity to counter the baseless prognostication in the GP.
Actually, here in the first world, economics have already began to impose population control. The US at least will soon be population negative if it weren't for immigration from the third world.
Who knows? Maybe lots. You can get a debit card that spends Bitcoin, but works over any standard credit/debit network. It's a solid stratey for Bitcoin belivers to put most of their money into Bitcoin until they need it. So, it's hard to say how much is used for everyday transaction, as these transactions are generally off-chain.
There's little in the way of gold-denominated transaction either, outside of selling back and forth. Not sure if your intention was to liken Bitcoin to the best solid investment of the last 2,000 years...

When someone is illiterate, you teach them to read. You don't just start writing everything at a kindergarten level.
The same applies to numeric literacy.
Percentages are a way of applying consistent base units, but you argue against it?
If you can't move a decimal point, you are not worth explaining statistics to.
Religion is part of the law in a theocracy. Fair judgement of religious doctrine is fair judgement of the law.
Why would you imagine otherwise?
You can't expect dusk-like light to have no impact on wildlife. Just think of the impact it has on humans.

Your native language is invisible on the Internet. If you can't handle English, post on a site in your native tongue.
Foolish people, being born into corrupt societies.

Maybe you should talk to your employer about their civic duty. My employer - like many - pays me my full salary during jury duty.
That's speculation, with little evidence other than - ironically - her confession.

The fact that you can't see that also applies to the stock market is pretty telling.

+7 Insightful.
LOL! So, you're holding lots of losing BCH and hope it someday recovers?
Your knowledge of Bitcoin might only be three years old, but Bitcoin has already cruised by its tenth anniversary.
There's no such thing as a gold market?

Funny. Everyone I know who bought Bitcoin has made a profit.

How do I submit my dollar bills through a web form?
Yeah, it's frustrating when the power goes out and the whole Internet gets deleted and we have to re-create it every time...
