That cover can’t be right, she’s not exposing any of her vital organs or extremities by being scantly clad.

Probably playing with it by feeling the sensation of the partially air filled cling.

Plenty of examples where money didn’t make it so, I mean Bloomberg tried to spend his way into being elected and didn’t work. Money is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient for a campaign.

Governments are really good at operating public goods and natural monopolies.

The idea that privatised public transport, water, electricity, health care, education, public housing, prisons etc are better than publicly run alternatives is as laughable as having private fire departments.

How else do you convince bureaucrats and purse string holders that you are vital and need a bigger budget for next year?

In which case how does a community of that scale operate without a rule enforcement arm?

Will there be environmental laws? Traffic laws? Food safety? Defence? Adjudication of differences?

How does it work?

Will someone be issuing driving licenses based on competence? Who’s going to check if I don’t have one?

If I don’t have the sense to drive properly or secure a dangerous load, or I drive drunk or I keep running people over or running red lights who is going to stop me?

If I assault or murder someone is it vendetta rules? What if someone accuses me of that but I haven’t done it - who figures out what happened? Are there investigators? Who’s going to stop me? Or defend me?

Sure but why let the spoke person skate with such a ridiculous answer?

Not sure how international institutions can make it clearer.

Of course they’re committing genocide.

Let’s see how that goes in a market starved of high level workers and full of employers happy to let their staff work from home.

Wouldn’t the next question be “if he’s unable to process or notice that a single simple caption under the image exists, how could he be trusted to process information pertinent to running a nation?”
