And yet, we managed to mostly abolish slavery and child labour in most countries.

It's not going to be easy, but it can be done.

I remain pessimistic on the course this genocide is taking, but a UN resolution for peace that both the US and China voted for...

I didn't expect to see this happen any time soon.

As your links explain, C series is used for envelopes, while B and elongated A are special case that aren't commonly used.

In any case, none of those series has an equivalent to American Letter.

The only paper that you will commonly find in European offices are A4 and (to a lesser extent) A3.

A big office printer might have 4 trays stocked with A4 and one tray with A3, for example.

As a European, I do appreciate Legal as a format.

It just happens slightly too often that an A4 is not long enough and the last bit, including the signature, goes to the next page.

I wish Legal was common here. Or perhaps we could get a Long A4 with a third extra height or so.

The Letter format should just be replaced by A4 though.

It's really insane that the police get called on US citizens peacefully protesting against a genocide in a foreign country.

You are stuck at step 1, I invite you to move on to step 2 and actually start looking at how we are gonna solve problems.

You can go back all the way to colonial times and feudal times and even earlier to discuss how societies have become less egalitarian since the invention of agriculture.

But we are here, right now and it's best to identify the actions we can take today, for a brighter tomorrow.

Not changing history. Just saying that democrats had all the power they could want and failed to implement change to make things better. Literally after running on a campaign of Change.

The people blaming Reagan are fighting a 3 decade old culture war.

Fact is, things really weren't all that bad in the 80s and 90s.

They only really started getting bad after the financial crisis in 2008.

And which party got both the presidency and a majority in Congress that year? Hint: doesn't start with R.

Would such a strategy legally work in the USA?

Here in the Netherlands, a plan to regulate maximum rents seems to be much more promising.

We will know if it worked in about 2-3 years.

You might be interested to learn about the concept called "hostile witness".

Google is your friend. Hope that helps.

Dude, I'm really sorry, but the 19th century sent a letter by pony express and they want their economic theory back.

There are struggling "capitalists" that own their own little manufacturing company, restaurant, hair salon or other small business.

And then there are rich as hell "workers" like Taylor Swift who have become billionaires through their own labour. She can fill football stadiums full of people willing to pay top dollar to see her perform, I simply can't.

And I think most people don't have a problem with Taylor being a billionaire.

But the problem arises when middle class people pay half of what they have in tax, while rich people have effective tax rates of <10%. Jeff Bezos had a five figure tax bill as he became the richest man in the world.

A million middle class Americans making $100K are still out earning Jeff by a huge margin, but they are collectively also paying way more tax than Jeff, so Jeff can keep investing his money, while those million Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
