no it’s not, not even democracies are interested in this . We’d rather golf courses then housing for the homeless, we’d rather ball sports of all sorts then food for the starving, we rather the rich have private jets then a stable climate

John Kenneth Galbraith’s “The Culture of Contentment” helps to explain why

this ignores the insights of behavioural experts

the skateboard platform of most e-v’s necessarily make then taller

Recognize that changing the world is beyond your remit, it’s mostly for navel gazers and those unable or unwilling to change themselves

That doesn’t mean wallow in self pity, change yourself, vote wisely, help others when you can. Those are all within your control and aim for being content and achieving that is a goal in itself. Most of us go about our lives blithely consumed by frippery and mistake ignorance for fulfilment.

aiming to be happy is the wrong goal, i am wary of people who say they are happy, they’re either psychopath’s, or are unmoved by the suffering and inequality around the world or the don’t care, stay away from those happy clappers.

maybe but the amount of automation in thier plants is apparently amazing

And, a recent tour of one of the Asian powerhouse’s vehicle plants has proved this beyond a shadow of a doubt, at least to Honda President and CEO Toshihiro Mibe.

“We have no chance against this,” Mibe said (9) upon a visit to a Shanghai parts factory, commenting on its seamless automation across all levels of production. Logistics, procurement and all aspects of the process were so automated, in fact, that he did not spot a single human worker on the supplier’s floor.

both the Honda and Toyota CEOs have said they can’t compete, as has the Ford CEO. Toyota will likely survive, Honda’s car division, probably not. Ford needs protection to survive, depends how long US citizens want to prop them up

In Australia it was 20%, aside from edge cases you’d have to wonder what the other 80% were thinking

i use the ByPassPaywallClean plugin for FF (on android and desktop)

and they still reward Farage

As an Australian I’d bark like a dog if we were ever invited to join, fuck the UK they had their chance, had a sweetheart deal and fucked themselves over.

You’ve set a very high bar indeed!

including recent negative headlines about his treatment of women that he said had been “weaponized”.

Trump enters the chat, just grab 'em by the pussy

I don’t know why this is so hard to understand.

the bit you don’t understand is the “fun” in legally being able to beat up gay guys and then claim this as a defence and go home for dinner.

a bicycle, baguette’s and wine ? i am soooo there

Would any one believe that I am master of slaves by my own purchase? I am drawn along by the general inconvenience of living without them. I will not — I cannot justify it, however culpable my conduct. - John Patrick Henry US Founding father

Is slavery even forbidden by the bible?

No its encouraged, as is your daughter marrying her rapist

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighbouring nations

In the US they do this with Mexicans now but not Canadians… yet.

Exodus 21:7. says its ok to sell your daughters into slavery

as examples, working on the Sabbath ??

Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death.
