I work since grade 6... last free years were in elemntary school. No money or time for drinking, advanced classes take extra time and work the rest plus some school clubs for building resume to get better college entrances. Teens years are not always without responsibility and with free time, children have been working since millenia past, idea that children must be carefree is a new thing and not true.
This is like saying some person can not quit eating sugar because it "hijack human psychology". Or anything similar. So I suppose ban sugar. A "re wired brain" can still stop using it, it only takes more willpower.
There is no apologia, there are many other habit-forming products we can use, television, sugar, others are used by children in many places and they self regulate.
we went into war only with reluctance after pearl harbor because japs were blowing our shit up... population was otherwise coming off a long period of isolationism and would not have fought, i think. considerably easier to deal with global warming than that: we have a wide range of latitudes where we can grow crops, lots of natural resources, can throw money at the problem. no need to destroy our lifestyle today
"Action on climate change" very vague... mostly that is "get more electricity from renewable, maybe get an electric car". It is nothing that reduces the quality of life, that is supported from very few people, almost none. There is reasons the answer to how to fund is always "make the rich pay", Americans do not like paying for stuff.
assume you do not have damage to the planet as any inherent value. assume also that in rich nation like America we will probably muddle through. this is case of higher risk tolerance, i am unwilling to make a reduced quality of life now for a hedge against the future.
i disagree that it would have efficacy, china already is trying to build parallel economic system if needed with cultivation of economic relation in south america and africa. china setting herself up to be to those continents as we were to her, will survive without any carbon membership.
I am so sorry on your behalf, this is terrible that you lose a job for it. Yes, and you are correct, if somebody tell you to use a plural pronoun it if forcing everybody to take a side. It is putting everybody in some position to either endorse or reject woke post-gender ideas.
Every year i think these people found now the greatest level of stuipid, then they create a new level in the next one... i am wondering with trepidation what they are deciding next. Always it start in the university then filter out to other places, makes me very scared for the next some years when this comes to real life.
It is already too late, first it is opt in, then it is opt out, then it is compulsory. This will happen if we let it have any use at all. Write your congressman now if you have a desire for this not to come to pass.
I referenced overweight which is many more people. They are the ones who live long enough to spend big dollars on healthcare but still cost much more. They arent food addicts or something they just cant be bothered to make gym trips.
Nearly 3/4 of out adults are overweight, thats mostly shitty choices. You say "disorder" like it is something these people got through no fault of their own but that is not often the case. Shitty choices probably we should stigmatize becuase accepting this many fat people have gotten us a public health crisis.
Absolutely, i more made reference to how when somebody mention health impact of weed somebody else say "whatabout alcohol unhealthiness" as though it is relevant.
Yes, exactly correct at least for me. Two excellent example. These are mostly victimless, if somebody make a bad choice here he is harming himself. Seatbelt law for small children though is maybe okay.
Flu was spread a lot in many workplace where I've been, among adults. No flu shot requirement. Anybody who want a requirement for coronavirus vaccine should had flu shot requirement these past years or at least should make one now.
Well no, there are serious health risk associated with weed. Maybe alcohol have them too, yes both deserve legality, but this is not to say it is "safe", especially in young.
Well I am all in favor of legalizeing, but there is side effect: those who are smoking in public, cigarette but especially pot, must have harsh consequence. I go to some place in US and it is stinking everywhere on public streets. People can not force everybody to inhale their drug fume only because they want their high.
Edit for clarifying: maybe a $200 fine is good point for starting, go up to $500 with repeating. I also think many smoker drop cigarette butts and we need greater fine for that if it will stop.
Because some new business grad see that "food is inefficient" and fail to realize that people are not eating food in first world only for its efficiency.
They are taste very differently and every time I try to make baked foods with substitute milk something is wrong. Lab meat has appeal because is the exact same.
Land is not some large problem in Sweden, relatively it is a not dense country and can fit more people if needing. Better to say that demand for housing in urban areas is very inelastic. You are right that there are problems with building being slow and expensive but removing rent control make the paying off time for an investment shorter, more attractive to build houseing.
Yes this is common design in cases where a library is used from memory-managed language but does not want to do own allocation. Very useful in case like embedded where some screwy behavior are needed for allocating correct.
this but with real identity. it should not be that you are only who government says you are. days are past when you can move to a new place under new name and have no issue and government not know difference.
