And back then the sun was less strong so you needed more co2 to not have everything be frozen

Waiting to fill up until there's an emergency sounds like bad planning

Because this is not about airplanes but cars. You're right about the airplanes though

No it's not. The site is amended to reflect the fact she got a slap on the wrist. All the dates are on there, including the one reversing the original verdict.

Being correct? Because screw being polite if it means it muddies the waters. Also, why do "we" need to be pliable? Why can't the other side of this argument get over themselves and accept that words can have different meaning depending on context?

Out of interest, how do you view things like roads, police, the fire department, etc? They also have fixed salaries (at least for a subset of them).

All good and well. And you do get a point for it being semi-direct at some levels. However: the claim was that no system existed where a hundred thousand people have direct democratic influence. I point to a counter example of it working right now. Who cares how many people Switzerland has? That's movig the goal post

You do come of a bit obtuse, but assuming you really don't understand : all markets are regulated even in the USA. Things like health and safety regulations stop things like lead getting in our drinkwater.

Direct democracy doesn't scale? Someone better tell Switzerland!

It's not that hard, the explanation was already given: a country with relatively high taxes that are used to provide (for free or a small fee) services that benefit the population at large. Mainly safety, education and healthcare. You get to keep the money you make in transactions, just not all of it. Everyone is OK with this because they value an equal society where no one is "left behind" more than a society where its acceptable if some people don't make it and others make it many lifetimes over
