Isn’t it as much about showing up to vote than about changing minds who to vote for?

Women are not even more dangerous than that they have to be
Eh sure, though only number 20 in the world when it comes to national legislation. But when it comes to quality of life or even life expectancy, the US could do so much better given its wealth. Mostly I’m just trying to point out the automatic patriotism you see so often in Americans, even the progressive ones.
More women as state leaders you say? So we might finally see female leaders in countries like India, Argentina, the UK, Pakistan, France, Turkey, Bangladesh, Ukraine or Germany if only the US would be the shining example to the world?! I’m sorry, but when it comes to social progress, the best the US can hope for is finally catching up. Any option to be exemplary was definitely gone by maybe the 1970s
A reminder of what they are willing to do, while Ukraine has a little expedition going on inside Russia?
Basically all countries that started having some economic growth since 1950 will have this spike effect. The countries that were already rich had a slow population transition, the other ones a fast one. The short version of that story is that in the latter child mortality went down slowly, and in the the former it was a quick proces. People take some time to adapt to this new reality, which means that for a shirt period of time 10 of 10 children will grow up to have kids of their own. After a while, the amount of children goes down to 2 or less, and growth stops. In Europe, this lade population multiply by two or three, in North Africa for example it can be up to times five or more. And in modern societies, this kind of growth tends to concentrate in cities.
As someone who lives under representative representation, I totally agree that FPTP should go. But being against that system doesn’t have to ve a leftist strategy. I think everyone who does not feel represent by the two big parties can get behind a change there. Pushing that idea across the spectrum could be helpful. It might even be an idea to start an alliance party with as only program point an overdue constitutional reform. You wouldn’t need other policies: simply reform & hold new elections as soon as possible afterwards
Oh I thought you were worried about the hill. I do 40 minutes myself and prefer it over any other option
Ebike is your friend
Made me wonder: how likely would it be that a modern ginkgo could not reproduce with an ancient one?
Do as the other poster said. The Benelux is also a place where you could probably work with just English. Bonus points if you manage to get a job where you’re allowed to work from, say Portugal (for the weather and the low living costs) Good luck on the job hunt!
Have you looked into the European job market? From what little I know, I have the impression here that kind of profile can pick among any number of jobs.
I wouldn’t even let him watch his own daughter
Just having the vote on a non working day or giving (almost) everyone obligatory paid leave that day is way easier and could already have quite an impact.
Someone should invent a game, that while playing demonstrates how much monopolies suck for everyone involved (except the monopolist)
If you use median, removing or not of 1000 people from a pool of millions indeed has zero impact. My guess is that they worded it like that because they assume people don’t knownwhat a median is, so they describe the practical effect
They are not excluded, it’s just the the number of people is used, not the amount of money
Are you just talking about the US? In the EU, the sale of fully electric cars has actually gone down (as a % of market share), mostly to the gain of hybrids. See for example https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2024/0829/1467243-european-car-sales/
