Yeah, we can also make it fun. Once someone has amassed a certain quantity of wealth, make a big ceremony, where the guy is given a trophy that says "I won capitalism". After that, every dollar he makes past the limit is taxed 100%

Yeah, the headline made it sound way worse than it actually is. Or maybe I'm biased and expect the worst when I see priest, drug and sex in the same headline.

In theory yes. In practice or will require enormous resources to build a case against the army of layers that Google and the other giants can afford. I believe only the government now is big enough to do it, with the antitrust law.

He had a costume that mimicked nudity and was singing a song about being nude (something about, if we were all nudes, there will be no wars). So i guess the description mostly nude applies here.

May I suggest you use the french tarot rules ? If there is a French community near you, you may find players among them.

Here are the rules translated in English : https://www.pagat.com/tarot/frtarot.html

No, tarot is a fantastic card game : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tarot_card_games&diffonly=true

Cartomancy using a tarot game cards is stupid though.

Yeah, but fort that you had to finish the game. That was HARD as hell back in the days. I believe neither I nor anyone in my elementary school knew Samus was a girl because nobody managed to finish the game.

Your particular commute might not be feasible without a car, but many are. Adding bike infrastructures allows those who can commute by bike to do so, while freeing space on the road for those who can't..

Most people will think traffic behave like water that you need to send through a network of pipes. It is not, traffic is made of humans and humans reactions will make traffic behave wildly differently than waters in pipes.

  • Some people and businesses will move next to the new highway for its supposed ease of access, creating traffic
  • some people might change their habits and go shopping to this place instead of that place, or getting a job far away from their home (or a home far away from home)

The exact reasons for the increase in traffic is complex and my example could be totally off. But we don't need to know the exact reason for the increase in traffic, we know it happens because it has been observed on every road enlargement projects in the last decades.

Je sais pas, j'ai pas pensé pour l'instant

Ça résume assez bien

It's a survey, so it relies on the surveyed to tell accurately the date they meet and how, so I won't be surprised that the line here is incorrect.

Or maybe they refer to using classified ads in the newspaper or over of those "romantic meeting agency" (I don't know the name in English, in French it is agence de rencontre) that existed back in the day

Attention, on ne peut pas additionner simplement les résultats des Européennes et espérer obtenir un chiffre réaliste pour les législatives. Il y avait environ 52% de participation aux européennes et on peut supposer sans risque une plus grosse participation aux législatives.

Où iront les voix de ceux qui n'ont pas votés aux européennes est une inconnue encore plus grande.
