It probably wouldn't be allowed under an authoritarian government though...

I went to stay a couple of months in the US and of course I brought my reusable bag to the übermarket. The cashier didn't want to fill it. She insisted to use single-use bags :|

Overeating is bad for sleep, isn't it?

One of the good humans yes, according to the story's morals

Ah then we agree, there was certainly so shift to the meaning of the phrase!

Uh, not really. In the story, a Jew gets injured and multiple Jews pass by without helping. Samaritans are enemies to the Jews, but the good Samaritan helps. A good Samaritan is someone that has no reason to help but still does out the goodness of their heart.

Either they're forced or they believe they're forced to drive cars. I'd become insane too.

Sooo, why is the gf on a leash?

That's pretty nice, it's basically additional leave days! I still prefer European style with unlimited sick leave, but you need a certificate from your physician.

Without a doubt! Humans and life in general is uber efficient in terms of energy use. Most of the energy of a car is not directly spent for the work. Work is done when moving mass from a lower to a higher place and accelerating it to a higher speed. But once you have accelerated the mass to the cruise speed, it actually does not require any energy to maintain. Rather, the energy is spent by the car to heat up the air, move it around, wear the road and the tires, and make noise.

We use cars because they are muuuch more powerful than humans, at the cost of wasing a lot of energy. Try to push a car uphill, you won't ever succeed without pullies which makes it even slower. Doesn't matter how efficient you are if you cannot output the minimum power required to overcome friction etc.

Police unions are not always a force for good, specifically they can lack solidarity with other workers. In France they lobbied to keep their privilege while the retirement age was increased for everyone else.

Okay, I had a listen. Basically his arguments are:

• People don't want it, it is forced through ruse by socialist politicians.
• It removes freedom from patients to choose their insurance, health care provider etc.
• It removes freedom from physicians to choose their working methods and living/practicing location. The state will control every aspect of their profession.
• By slippery slope, it's going to lead to the same for every profession.

So it's an attack point to impose socialism in America. Eh.
