20% of the parliament is women. Beating the US congress.

The guardianship rules doesn’t apply for working and traveling. So any woman over 21 can apply for a passport and leave if they feel like it.

77% of women has a secondary (high school) education and 37% participate in the workforce.

Yes Saudi Arabia has a long freaking way to go, but they’ve been closing the gender gap in recent years.

Womens rights is a theme among several middle eastern countries, I’m naive enough to believe they understand it will benefit society and not done so entirely to befriend Europe

But is the current president separated from power?

The claim is the current president is a Fidesz supporter, rather than an independent onlooker ensuring democratic process.

Presidents/Kings in Europe’s role is to stop a parliament in case they begin to transition into authoritarianism or enact laws that are indisputably against the people.

There’s a few systems that differ, such as the French at which the president is responsible for foreign politics

The UK were never a partner of the free movement, you’d have to dig out your passport every time you were entering their country and I doubt freedom of movement would be on the top of their list of things they’d want from a partnership with the EU

Veritasium themselves has a video on the topic, they’ve indeed sold parts to investors

Flushing may present a new issue after the fact, but I can’t see a way around flushing

There is one, embrace the sink. Become a sink pisser, it’s just like a pissoir which you wash your hands and face in!

The big investors are earning money on it, the suits has done the calculations and they’re earning a few percentages more a year dismantling companies than they would, had they chosen stability

Parts of it is also how safe of a bet it is to dismantle, as big capital likes safe investments. Which is largely also why AAA isn’t innovative anymore, they consider it too big of a risk to invent a new wheel

Thing is, they have been doing this for over a decade. Publicly traded companies can’t compete long-term, if there’s a well funded provate competitor

Of course they can, they can use the same aim. Problem is it’s more profitable to grind a company down, let it bankrupt and do the same to the next company. Hence enshittification arrived, venture capital has a full playbook for dismantling companies from the inside.

There’s still a few old bastions wanting stability, Coca Cola Group is the most obvious example of this

I understand MAGA managed to take over the Republican party, but you need funding. Big oligarchical levels of funding to be able to take over a primary party - It was the highway or no way

Not sure travel is as much as a bogeyman as people wants to make it, but we need more efficient travel (hello trains). Most people travel far once or twice a year, it’s not the bread and butter of consumption and has a legitimate positive on peoples mental

While changing to vegetarian diets has no mental related negatives, vegan diets would need a bit of large scale community wide education first - As most people don’t know you can get more protein from nuts than just about any other nutrient on this planet, but damn do they know you can eat cheeses and eggs for the same.

Honestly the solution for changing peoples diets is however quite easy, let people pay their full costs. Abolish agricultural financial support for non essentials (all animal products) and let’s see if people wants meat or the yearly travel

Water is an industrial problem, but focusing on animal related products and fast fashion would get us far

Would the area AMOC pumps heats from also get hotter? Given their hot water won’t be pulled to a colder location, get cooled and come back down.

I assume it’s a double whammy

It saddens me that no one tried to make a third party with Sanders at the helm with the momentum he got in 2014/15, it should had been possible to snatch like a third of the democratic party members

Once they’d unveil actual social democratic policies, some Republican representatives would swap over. As such policies are widely favoured by the American public and has been for a few decades - Nobody is however offering them

2016 would still had been Trump, but 2020 could had been Sanders (or ideally a younger energetic 40 year old) and social democratic reforms

And when you see fuck all done by the people sitting in office, being guided by the smartest professors in the country, you’re naturally going to think media is mostly just selling fear as they always do - Because if it was that dangerous, surely we’d do more large scale changes

It’s the green guy from monsters inc

They’re probably just annotating within a common topic and in a language which is easy to find cheap workers within.

If you’re easily replaceable, they’ll use people from the third world for the job

But that’s more expensive, as people demand 50-100% more salary as a contractor; Line must go up faster
