And ignore all the environmental bullcrap that existing home owners will try to astroturf. People won't hurt environment by gathering in one place that they did by spreading up.
If it's a tourist map then probably so, but I assume CIA would like to see something more substantial on their map. They're not in for the sights are they?
Nothing more, just embassies and churches. Would like to hear a story here.
Baghdad's 2003 map has basically the same set of POI.
Why isn't it?
If you have medical emergency - this is where charity kicks in, they will help you.
If you bet it all on red - in this case you have to mow lawns for $20 to eat every day until the next paycheck comes.
Compare this to situation with poor: Most of middle class don'r really have poor significant others in their life, making cutting benefit programs easier.
- Make it easy for individual enterpreneurs to open small shops.
This ought to help. Small corner bodega will survive if operated by its owner.
One can argue he had quite similar result in mind to the proposed electric-vechicle-enabling indentured servitude.
I don't think it would be excusable even if he avoided killing people while defaulting to raping and beating the crap out of them.
You can't use people as slaves unless situation is so that everybody has to become slave. Also, you can't use people as a tool (without their consent).
There's not much to discuss. We've been there already with Hitler's Work Camps and Stalin's GULAG Camps.
Why then we don't revert to capturing slaves in poor countries and have them "save the whole" (like, recycle garbage by manual labour) while working 18 hr/day?
We can surely sacrifice their well-being in order to save the world for us, can't we?
"If a tree falls in a forest"
In all cases where machine and human are assigned to a job as a unit, human should have authority to override automated decisions.
There are two reasons why it isn't so: business doesn't trust its drones, and workflow tends to break down on unexpected input. But it should be.
Is it only me who has problems with this attitude?
As if we didn't have enough frustration from airports located an hour away.
UPD: there is
Then you'll run into the new problem, that in context of kinda-international HN it will sound a bit off.
You could probably pull it applying for a business visa and then registering as an enterpreneur (ИП) - but you should definitely ask for a qualified opinion.
We assume that we should stick with that Jesus considered right. But we can't ask him, so we have to interpret whatever sacred texts available. We assume that only one interpretation is correct and all other are sinfully wrong.
This is a fertile ground for conflict. Everyone has their own interpretation but pretends that they all share it. Ultimately it's the Highlander, when just one Christian is to stay alive over dogma.
This is actually stricter than Islam where conflicts over interpretation are explicitly discouraged, and indeed there's less of those. However Islam is even less tolerant to "live and let live".
The solution, IMO, is stop considering one person "the one", and get rid of sacred texts.
When you're righting over religion, people are very reluctant to convert (which is usually a sin), and to accept the converted, so it ends with cleansings and genocide. Same thing with ethnic conflicts, but they're religion-driven more often than not.
Compare with the good selection from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_jokes
And that they're also trying to appropriate human progress for themself, but now we know the real achivements of Greeks and Romans, surpassed only by early XX century. They managed without.
My wife says: "But you personally have no other culture to belong to". That doesn't make me happier.
> in 324, he extended similarly pro-Christian policies to the eastern empire, where he not only favoured Christians, but actively discriminated against non-Christians, restricting their ability to worship or fund their temples.
And it mostly went downhill from that.
